Weak point
The throat and the glowing lung sac in its chest (×4 per one source)
Tactic
A long-necked zombie with a red-orange tumour in its chest. Its scream stuns you and summons and enrages nearby zombies; if you're Dying it stands over you and screams you to death. When shot it runs off to regenerate, so keep firing. Kill it first. Pop the sac: it kneels and lets out a last scream that damages nearby players and instantly kills every zombie around it. Use that: pop the sac when it's surrounded by zombies. One sniper-rifle or shotgun shot pops it. To make it fill its lungs (the one-hit-kill moment): wait for it to inhale, throw a flash grenade, give it enough knife, or a running kick from Helena, Sherry or Ada. Otherwise it shrugs off anything below a magnum.
