The Cyst

General Information

The Cyst is a slow moving and shambling specimen that approaches the player and attempts to grab hold, immobilizing him/her. The Cyst is considered to be the lowest threat level to players due to its very slow speed, light damage, and small health pool. Engage at convenience.

Notes on XP

  • XP rewarded for your on-perk weapons.
  • Killing with weapons other than your current perk grants the XP to the perk that weapons belongs to.
  • Damaging with on-perk weapons and then finishing it off with an off-perk weapon divides the XP and grants it to both perks.
  • Damaging with off-perk weapons and then finishing it off with an on-perk weapon divides the XP and grants it to both perks.
  • Assist kills grants full XP.
  • The Katana currently does not grant XP towards any perk.
  • The bash attack (default v) does not count as Berserker damage for Berserker XP, meaning it grants the XP to your current perk.

Speed

- Cysts move slowly when docile, and sprint when enraged.
- On higher difficulties, Cysts have a chance to enrage upon sighting a Player, and have a chance to enrage when shot.
- Once enraged, Cysts will never stop sprinting until they are killed.
- Movement speed is randomized, but is skewed towards higher values as difficulty increases.
- Movement speed is set to maximum at all times on Hell on Earth difficulty.

Behavior and Extermination Tactics

- Cysts are minor annoyances at best, as they are the weakest Zeds in the game. However, they can still draw your attention and block shots from more important targets, as well as grab you. It is best to kill them quickly.
- They can be dispatched with a single headshot from any weapon (except the 9mm Pistol when not used by a Gunslinger with Bone Breaker skill, or a Commando with the Backup skill.)
- On early waves, ammunition can be saved by switching to the Knife as a single swing can decapitate a Cyst when aimed at the neck or the head.


- When enraged, Cysts simply move faster and attack quicker. They do not gain any new abilities or significant damage boosts. As such, they remain as low threat enemies on higher difficulties.
