If you see a screamer, dispatch it with a weapon and use it to camouflage yourself so biters or virals attracted will not attack you. This is an extremely effective technique as Screamers tend to remain stationary and will not move under most circumstances.Ĭamouflage works on the screamer allowing you to easily and silently dispatch it if you have the chance to camo yourself before approaching it.Īnother method is also available if you have the camouflage ability. If none are in hand, one could possibly craft some via Blueprints. If the Screamer begins to screech, double back until the player regains control of Crane, then use throwing items or firearms to eliminate the Screamer. One may also choose to grapple the screamer to stun it, although this will not kill the Screamer. If possible, using camouflage before doing so will stop the screamer from screaming. It is recommended to quickly run up to it and push the action key to silence the Screamer. Another screamer can be found in Rais's skyscraper in the slums, in one of the dark tunnels filled with bloody corpses and dozens of Volatiles. If the screamer screams, it will attract tons of virals including a demolisher. Remember: you can avoid the confrontation with screamer if you do not open the door (this is not needed for mission). During the mission Broadcast, while passing through the sewers for the first time, you can find a screamer in a room with two dead children.
In the sewers leading to the Old Town building that is set to be detonated, a screamer can be found in a side cavern, lounging near the corpses of two dead children. They can also be found during the mission " Legless Spider" in each of the houses you are are suggested to search for shisha parts.
Speculation leads many to assume that their crying may be a technique used to lure Runners or Survivors into a trap.Ī screamer can be found on the quest " Health Potion", inside Alay's parent's House in the play area, among other locations.
They remain inside their former houses in one spot crying in a nearly identical fashion to that of an actual child. Whether screamers are a mutation of the Harran Virus that only affect children or if all infected children become screamers by default is unknown, though it is speculated that the latter is the case, and that their fearful behavior is a result of a child brain's fight response being much less developed compared to its flight response, in contrast with adults. If Crane uses a special action to subdue a screamer, he will cradle the screamer in his arms and calm it back down into crying like before it was startled, before proceeding to snap its neck. When startled, their scream seems to be one of absolute horror. When not startled by a human, they are heard crying in very much the same way a still-human child would under extreme duress. Screamers do not exhibit aggressive behavior, instead seeming to be in an eternal state of fear. Presumably, Screamers will not wander out of the houses they're discovered in to join the general populace of infected. The player will also continuously take low but progressive amounts of damage if within its screaming range. Screamers are infected children whose screams disorient the player's vision and renders them unable to fight, as well as drawing in numerous other infected.
