Elder Disciples are elite variants of the original Disciple; therefore have much more health and stronger abilities, summoning more enemies and even gaining the ability to force enemies to evolve. These enemies should become an immediate priority when they spawn in, as they can quickly take over the entire round, buffing zombies, spawning more, and evolving them into even more threatening enemies. Weapons equipped with the Light Mendor Dead Wireammo mods are very effective against them, as well as any of the Ray Gun MKII variants.
