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

―Commander dialogue on Wave 1 (Formerly, Nuclear)

Description

The Wastewalker, internally referred to as Mutated, which is still used for its legacy version in Sandbox mode, is the first enemy the player faces in Polluted Wasteland II. It has high health and an above average speed.

The Wastewalker could 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 even a single wave of Wastewalkers reach the exit.
Strong early-game towers like the Golden Crook Boss, Golden Cowboy, Engineer or Mortar can clear this out quite easily.
