HOSTILE NPC / COMMUNITY DATA

Bloat

The source reports a 40-damage explosion within 5 metres and a toxic area left on death.

Community reference data: the developer announced ability, weapon and enemy-health rebalances in August 2026. These numerical records are not tied to a verified post-rebalance build or the upcoming closed beta. Test status →

HOW TO RECOGNISE IT

Explodes into poison gas

Recognisable by its poison-gas explosion. A large body alone is not enough to identify a Bloat; the explosion distinguishes its behaviour.

Death explosion

40 damage · 5 m radius

Leaves a toxic area after death.

How to fight it

EDITORIAL FIGHT PLAN

  1. Keep room to retreat before attacking. Its poison explosion makes close-range finishing dangerous.
  2. Use a ranged finish when practical, then move away from the corpse and toxic area.
  3. Wait for the hazard to clear before approaching its trophy.

Avoid: Rushing to loot immediately after the kill.
