Notes

  • Like other Zombies, Defilers are completely immune to Corrosive damage over time, but are vulnerable to Incendiary and Explosive weaponry.
  • The Defiler's "single spew" attack is hard to avoid, so maintain distance.
  • The Defiler's "spread spew" attack obscures vision (the screen) and lowers movement speed drastically; this attack can be easily evaded though. It is less effective from a Defiler of lower level than the Vault Hunter.
  • Defilers commonly spawn within groups of normal zombies, slowing the player down and allowing other zombies to catch up and cause major damage.
  • Defilers move swiftly and will run away to maximize distance between themselves and their foes before spewing, making them very difficult to kill with melee attacks.

Trivia

  • The Defiler zombie's puking attack and slightly distended abdomen may be a reference to the Left 4 Dead special zombies.
  • Oddly enough, the Defiler's ears are slightly pointed.
