Its weak point is the Plague itself. It can be killed if we shoot the body of the Cattle anyway, but we will need a lot more ammunition.

They die instantly if we throw a flash grenade nearby.

Brute (hammer)

Very aggressive.

Its size is deceptive, as it chases us just like any other villager and it is not as slow as it seems.
When we inflict a certain amount of damage it is possible to stun him for a finisher.
He has a circular sweep attack that we can dodge by crouching.
It is best to avoid it getting close at all costs using sniper rifles. If we have it on top of us, the shotgun can get us out of trouble.

Fangs

They are very fast dogs that attack in groups and from different angles to disorient us.
They have very little health.
If we see them coming, any pistol will get us out of trouble. If they are on top of us and we don’t know how many we are facing, we must kill them as quickly as possible; shotguns and submachine guns are good for this.

Regenerator

To eliminate them completely, we must kill all the Plagas hiding in different parts of their body. We can see these exact spots using a thermal scope.
If we don’t have a weapon with a thermal scope, other options are to throw several hand grenades in the hope that their Plagas will die, or to go around giving them shotgun shots all over their bodies trying to “search” for the Plagas.
As their name implies, they regenerate. As long as there is only one Plague active within their body, they will continue to regenerate.
It attacks us by coming towards us to grab us or, when we have amputated its legs, jumping to slap us.
It can extend its arms to grab us and bite us.

Iron Maiden
