Game Unit[edit | edit source]
Left 2 Die[edit | edit source]
The kaboomer appears in the multiplayer map "Left 2 Die." It is a far slower, larger and more effective version of the baneling. While the baneling is a small and fast suicide unit, the kaboomer is capable of dishing out considerable damage to bunkers or other defenses in the form of an acid spew before dying.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
The kaboomer's abilities include spewing acid continuously (especially effective against buildings), saturating an area with acid (causing area of effect damage in the targeted radius), and exploding in a similar way to a baneling, although the area and damage are greatly increased.
Co-op Missions[edit | edit source]
Kaboomers appear as special infested on the "Dead of Night" mission in Co-op Missions. They are slow moving area of effect attackers that explode when they come in contact with units. Kaboomers also deal area of effect damage when killed.[2]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
