Editing Bloat (section)

==Extermination==
The Bloat can have a disproportionately large amount of total health compared to that of its head, being the third highest health non-boss specimen. Thus in the vast majority of situations it is easiest to go for its head for a quick kill. Explosives can be ineffective if not aimed towards its head or upper torso. A [[Flamethrower]] can also be effective against a Bloat thanks to its 50% weakness to it's primary damage, however, on high difficulties with lots of players, this can still take comparably long amount of time without proper bursts to his center mass.

When the Bloat dies it will leave behind a corrosive puddle that damages players, unless it dies as the result of bleed out from being decapitated. During this bleed out time, the Bloat is also incapable of vomiting.

Since it has a very large body hitpoint, and so small head health; decapitating him grants a notable amount of damage point toward the perk leveling progress. Especially damage point requiring perks, should take the advantage of Bloats huge body hitpoint and aim for decapitating him in sight with perk related weapons. Alternatively playing as a bile resistant perk such as [[Field Medic]] or [[Berserker]] and using an off-perk weapon to decapitate the Bloat helps toward damage point progress of other perks.
