This feels like this isn't going to be easy.
Start up your defenses and prepare for the worst."

Description

The Wastewalker is the first enemy the player faces in Polluted Wasteland II. It has somewhat high health and an above average speed. The Wastewalker replaces the Abnormal on Polluted Wasteland II.

The Wastewalker can be spawned by the Mystery upon its death in Polluted Wasteland II.

Appearance

The Wastewalker has a chartreuse skin color and a black torso and legs. Veins are visible on its head and arms. It is faceless and it emits light green particles.

Strategy

• As Polluted Wasteland II has the HP Locked modifier and the Wastewalker has quite high health, it is not possible to let multiple waves of Wastewalkers get to the exit.
• Cheap towers with relatively high DPS, such as the Pyromancer, Golden Pyromancer, Golden Soldier, Ace Pilot, Brawler or Golden Scout, can easily deal with groups of Wastewalker.
• Because these enemies spawn in large hordes, multi-hit towers like the Executioner, Pyromancer and Golden Pyromancer can be very effective.
  • Do bear in mind that all of these towers require you to wait for a few waves before they can be placed down.
