Talk:The Boomer

Hey, can somebody get some screenshots of the Boomer? We definitely need one of the Boomer vomiting. Maybe you could also get one of what's left of the Boomer after it explodes, or what it looks like while exploding? If you're not sure about one you're considering adding, feel free to show me. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a  hole  in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 17:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Would this one work as it is, or should it be cut down to only the Boomer?  Captain Baird  Comm-LinkService Record 00:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, that works! Nice job. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a  hole  in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 00:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I have never noticed an audio cue for a Special Infected spawning aside from its noises. Can someone record it and post it for the benefit of relative newbies like me?


 * I don't know if there IS an audio cue. If there is, than it's not that long. The most I've ever heard of an audio cue for the Special Infected is a 3-second little note. But I'll try to find a track. BlackliteWrath 10:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There are sound files with the "bacteria" name on it, and plays whenever a SP ghostspawns (at least in versus) DAWeeE1 18:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
The picture at the bottom, from the cinematic, needs touching up to be brighter. All cinematic pictures should need it, I think. Also, I have some more Boomer pictures. I'll try to upload them ASAP. BlackliteWrath 13:17, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Boomer speaks
When the Boomer sees the Survivors, he shouts "Boom!" The Smoker, Hunter, and Tank scream, but don't actually say any words. --MadDawg2552 17:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

you may be thinking of the Gears of War Boomer :/ --(IzTheWiz Contributions) 10:05, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yea... I don't think I have ever heard the Boomer say anything, so I am going to have to go with IzTheWiz on this one. Stoan04 13:29, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Listen more closely when there's a Boomer around. He actually does say "Boom!" Edit: It's not a short "boom" it's more like a long "booooooom".  --MadDawg2552 14:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Um, I've only heard that when the Boomer starts falling a long distance. TheCreaturenator16 01:28, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, he just... groans? "Uuuuugh". Poeringu 23:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Witches no longer startle from Boomer Death?
Apparently this has been changed in a recent PC-side patch, according to others/personal experience. Cars, however, can still be set off. Gonna make a cross-out change, but if it turns out I'm wrong, let me know or edit it to clarify if its a current PC-only/non-console thing. --MorthBabid 21:55, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Headshot
On the page it claims that extremely rarely, a headshot will cause a boomer to die without exploding. Is there any truth to this? -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 23:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It is true that the Boomer can die without exploding (having his full body as a ragdoll), but I think it still registers as if the survivors were biled, and the horde will still come, so I assume it's a glitch. Also I don't think a headshot is the only way to cause it. DAWeeE1 18:55, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
