The Demolisher
Dying Light‘s largest zombie is the demolisher. He is a large, tank-like infected who is covered in armor and likes to ram anything in front of it. Oh, it should also be mentioned that these tough guys like to throw large pieces of concrete and cars. That makes them a rather formidable opponent for anyone who doesn’t know how to properly approach these hulking monstrosities. Fortunately enough it turns out that these guys aren’t so difficult to take down as long as you don’t mind using yourself as bait.
Before confronting a demolisher be aware that they make a lot of noise. Lots of noise means many virals will be attracted to the location of your fight so you’ll want to keep a fast, powerful melee weapon in your hand (i.e. machete), or you can take advantage of the fact that there is already a lot of noise and try your luck with firearms and/or explosives. But a gun really isn’t necessary if you do this right. What you’ll want to do is stand in the area as far from the demolisher as possible.
Keeping your distance will force the demolisher to either throw something or charge at you. If you’re on the same level as this particular infected it will more than likely choose to charge at you which is exactly what you want. While it’s speeding towards you hit it in with one of your throwable weapons and it will be stunned for a decent length of time. Now you can hack away at this imposing adversary with little to no fear of harm. If all goes according to plan you will be able to take down the demolisher after only one stun.
