As such, they should be treated as medium to high-priority targets.

Because the bombs have such small blast radius, the player can consistently avoid Bombers' grenades by strafing continuously in a single direction, even at close range.If left unchecked, Bombers can inflict a large amount of damage while the player is fighting more dangerous threats like Kleer Skeletons and Common Aludran Reptiloids. When this occurs, Bombers are usually perched on high spots where they can rain down grenades without the player noticing until an explosion is heard, or if the grenade collides. Like Firecrackers, Bombers can be dangerous if mixed in with other enemies.It is not recommended to use a shotgun, the grenade launcher, or rocket launcher at close range against Bombers, as they will explode upon death, which can cause moderate damage to the player if they are within the blast radius.

In I Hate Running Backwards, instead of throwing bombs, Bombers will throw C-4 explosives at the player. He does, however, have a melee attack in Serious Sam 4, and will kick or punch the player if they get within close enough range. In most games, the Bomber does not melee the player when they get too close to him. He will also explode when gibbed with a shotgun, explosive weapon, or sustained fire from automatic weapons like the XL2 Lasergun (especially if Serious Damage is active).

When killed, the Bomber will explode soon after his death. Bomber grenades have a smaller splash damage radius compared to the MK III grenades. These grenades make slight whooshing sounds once they are tossed, until they hit the ground or the player, detonating. The Bomber's primary attack is to throw grenades at the target. They are normally found in smaller groups of other beheaded enemies. Bombers are either found at ground level with Beheaded Rocketeers or on places on elevated positions such as low pillars and rooftops. The mechanism for this is not fully understood, but it is thought that an unidentified alien element reacts with nitrogen to form a highly unstable explosive compound.īombers are generally rare enemies whenever they appear, albeit slightly more common than Beheaded Firecrackers. He also carries a large supply of miniaturized bombs in a pouch, which suddenly expand upon contact with Earth's atmosphere. He is equipped with a life control unit and vocal synthesizer, as used by other undead Sirian infantry.Īs with many other Sirian soldiers resurrected and controlled by Mental, the Bomber symbolically carries his own head, which functions as an additional source of audio and visual imput. The Beheaded Bomber is an executed Sirian soldier that has been raised from the dead by Mental's cyber-zombification technology.
