Description

The Hazmat is an enemy that appears in Casual, Intermediate, Challenge Trials, Basic Arena PVP and Molten Arena PVP modes. It also appeared in The Takeover Event. It can also be sent by a player in Basic Arena PVP, which is the only way for it to appear there. It has a decent amount of health, a slightly fast speed and 60% defense. Additionally, it always spawns with the Stun and Freeze Immunity, making it harder to slow down. On multiple waves, it also appears with the Health Regen and Slime attributes.

It can be spawned by the Grave Digger with its Triumphing Sheol ability. Patient Zero also used to be able to summon it. Due to a bug, it used to replace the Hazardous in Polluted Wasteland II.

Strategy

• High DPS towers like the Accelerator, Minigunner or Engineer can be quite useful against this.
• Area of effect towers, like the Rocketeer, Mortar or Pyromancer can be quite useful against this, as it spawns in groups.
  • Additionally, splash damage towers bypass its Defense, allowing them to deal full damage to it and making them especially useful against the Hazmat.
• Defense dropping towers like the Pyromancer, Electroshocker or DJ Booth can be useful against this, as it has quite high defense.
  • Additionally, the Pyromancer or Jester can be quite efficient at killing Hazmats.
  • As it has Freeze Immunity, freezing towers cannot be used to drop its defense.
  • It cannot be knocked back as it has the Stun Immunity.

Trivia

• Between the 23rd and 31st of May 2024, the Hazmat accidentally replaced the Polluted Hazmat in Polluted Wasteland II. This made Wave 7 and the following waves significantly harder due to the steep health increase.
  • Before the issue was fixed altogether, the Hazmat's health was reduced to 60 in Polluted Wasteland II to balance the mode out.
• The randomized animations are inspired by the Ticker from Reason 2 Die: Awakening.
• The icon for the Hazmat uses its first appearance instead of its current appearance.
  • This is due to the icon used being actually taken and uploaded a day before v1.45.0 released, where at the time it used that appearance. The icon was never updated for its new appearance.
