The Mecha Zombie is a stronger variant of the regular Zombie. It was introduced in Doom Eternal and also appears in Mighty Doom.
Appearance
The Mecha Zombie is notably taller than its normal counterpart and has obvious signs of machine enhancement around its body. The most obvious difference being the arm cannon that has been grafted to the zombie. It also possesses a metal claw on its left arm, a pair of red eyes, metal feet, and other mechanical additions in various places.
Combat Analysis
Doom Eternal
Mecha Zombies pose a greater challenge than regular Zombies. Their arm cannon serves as a rapid-fire energy weapon at long distances (though it is inaccurate), and a flamethrower at close range. When next to the Slayer, the Mecha Zombie will swipe at them with their claw on left hand.
Outside of its increased arsenal, the Mecha Zombie possesses the same flaws as its lesser brethren. It is very slow, and while capable of taking a higher amount of damage compared to normal zombies, they can still be killed with relative ease. Non-headshot Sticky Bombs and Precision Bolt shots will instantly stagger them, making them good targets for a quick glory kill, while headshots will instantly kill them.
Mighty DOOM
Mecha Zombies are susceptible to explosive weapons and can perform both ranged and close-quarters attack with their arm cannons, though they cannot move and shoot at the same time. They can fire small red bolts of plasma that travel quickly, although their aim is not ideal to make it easier to dodge. When they get close to the Slayer, they will slowly shoot a steady, but finite stream of fire from their flamethrowers that lightly inflict continuous fire damage on the Slayer should he get hit. Their ranged attacks generally deal more damage than their close-quarter flamethrower attack.
The boss version of the Mecha Zombie can either fire a salvo of plasma bolts at the Slayer from a distance, or may shoot a steady stream of fire from its flamethrower and then swing it around in a huge circle.
