Spawn Behavior

A Stoker will first spawn on Round 10 out of barricades like normal zombies, only spawning in ones at earlier rounds, but then spawning in pairs in the later rounds. They will also make a distinct noise when they spawn sounding like metal banging and will roar.

Combat Strategy

Stokers are strong against regular bullet weapons due to their crust around weak points acting as armor. Special Weapons and explosives like the Hellion Salvo are best at taking down these enemies. Keeping your distance and forcing the Stoker to shoot its fireball attack and dodging that attack is the best way to fight these enemies, as they are most dangerous in close range.
