R.E.P.O. > Monsters > Trudge 

Description

The Trudge is a Level 3 Monster : a massive, heavy creature with a stone-textured body, dragging an enormous mace along the ground. Its movements are slow, accompanied by the harsh grinding noise of its weapon scraping against the floor. This distinct sound can be heard through walls, alerting players to its presence long before it comes into view.

Behavior :

The Trudge wanders the level without direction until it sees a player. Upon detection, it lets out a deep, guttural roar before beginning its slow pursuit. Once close enough, it will raise its mace and slam it into the ground with immense force. This attack has two distinct phases.

First, any player directly under the mace will be instantly killed by the impact. Then, a moment later, the slam produces a shockwave that pulls in nearby players and objects before releasing a violent explosion. This burst deals 20 base damage and can inflict up to 80 additional damage through object collisions. Although the shockwave can reach through walls and pull players from behind cover, it does not deal damage through surfaces.

If the Trudge finds a player hiding, it will investigate the spot. If the player remains underneath, it will forcefully stab its skull into the hiding place, dealing 50 damage. It is also highly resistant to stuns, meaning it cannot be ragdolled or taken down easily with standard tactics.
