Zombie (Doom Eternal)

Zombies are a returning enemy type in Doom Eternal. They resemble traditional zombies more than their Doom (2016) counterparts.

Subtypes

 * Earth zombies look like naked, emaciated humans with glowing yellow eyes and a pentagram on their head.
 * Exultia zombies do not have any visible eyes, instead having several crest-like structures on their forehead and concave chests.
 * Cultist zombies wear a lab-coat-like covering.

Tactical analysis
Like the Possessed scientists before them, zombies are sluggish, have low health, and are restricted to weak melee attacks. They should be chiefly considered as targets for glory kills or the chainsaw, depending on the player's current need for health and ammo.

Glory kills

 * The Doom Slayer grabs the zombie and hammers his fist down into its head, crushing its neck into its torso.

Lore
Humans that are corrupted into serving Hell lose their humanity, giving up their souls in return for promises of power. What is left is a mockery of their former selves.
