Info

Wrestlers are a new type of infected in Dead Island: Riptide. They have the ability to smash the ground knocking the Heroes down. They are powerful enough to kill the Hero with a single direct hit or reduce the hero's health by half if in the shockwave zone emanating from the impact point. Luckily, it moves very slowly. The mutation is first seen on Wayne, after leaving the tunnels towards the highway. They are then seen later in parts of Henderson and in the Dead Zones of the city.

Appearance 

The Wrestler has the build of a Thug and a similar roar, but one of his arms has mutated to enormous proportions, knocking down and smashing the Heroes with it. His intestines are exposed, as if zombies ripped through them. His skin has a brown-rotten appearance. Only a pair of jeans is what remains of his clothing.

Though the Wrestler has an intimidating appearance, he moves rather slowly, so there will be some Walkers or Infected with him to slow the Hero down. Even if he knocks the Hero down, it will take some time to raise his arm for another hit, giving the Hero a chance to get away. He can also give a swing with his arm capable of knocking the Hero down, much like a Thug.

Notable Wrestlers

Trivia

  • It may be just a coincidence but the Wrestler's design closely resembles a Charger from Left 4 Dead 2.
  • In the Definitive edition, the guts hanging from the Wrestler's stomach now move around.
  • The Wrestler's main slam attack animations had some slight change in the Definitive version; instead of slamming almost his whole arm to the ground, he strikes down fist first and the attack is fairly a bit quicker.
