One wrong step and the Bolter will be gone, sprinting away and alerting all nearby Night Infected and Volatiles of the players' presence. If there is no trap near by, tossing Firecrackers can both lure away the Volatiles guarding it, and agitate it into standing up.Įven for experienced players, catching Bolters is a challenge. The way to DFA a Bolter varies, if its eating underneath a light trap, activate it, and the Bolter will stand up, allowing a DFA, and giving you a shield of UV light for a few moments. This cannot be done on an unaware Bolter, as when it is crouched down the DFA wont register. Interestingly, and rare to see or do, players can actually use a Death From Above attack to kill a Bolter. Even very low level weapons will usually kill them in one blow. Bolters are no threat to the player, as they will always run instead of fight. Ranged weapons will also take the Bolter down, but will still attract any nearby Volatiles, even if grenades or other throwables are used. When the Bolter is killed, using flares to keep Volatiles away while someone loots the Bolter Tissue is advised. Players should keep in mind that, even if the Bolter is killed silently, Volatiles will immediately be aware of nearby players, giving chase to anyone in the vicinity. This will allow the player to hit the Bolter (which is quite weak) and kill it before it can escape. If possible, make sure that you're camouflaged so that any surrounding Volatiles don't give you away. As such, the player should approach this creature crouched and from behind. The Bolter, as the name suggests, is extremely nimble and cannot be caught if it runs away from a sufficient distance. They are located by the Blue skull seen on both the mini-map and the map itself. After this point, the Quartermaster at The Tower will highlight areas on your map of known Bolter hunting grounds.
The Bolter can be found in the wild after completion of the Siblings main quest line. Higher-level bolters have a mass of tumors on their back resembling a turtle shell, and the characteristic split jaw of a volatile. It retains its slightly higher-functioning faculties and desire for self-preservation. They are dressed in a torn shirt and pants and wear an alert, panicked expression. The low-level Bolter has some glowing tumors on it's upper back, and slightly large feet that excrete a glowing liquid. In Dying Light 2, the Bolters also received a visual overhaul and changes. It is implied that bolters may have some ability to manipulate other infected, as when alerted or killed nearby Volatiles are sent into a chase, and in the Witch Queen side quest the brain of a Bolter is needed to for Dahlia to make the Cloak Potion. Zere has planted as an experiment sometime during the outbreak. Along with the Volatiles, it is one of the few infected that only appears at night.ĭuring the Siblings main quest line, it is revealed that Bolters are actually infected that have consumed a "bait" that Dr. It is also noted for having green lumps covering its body that glow.
The Bolter is an uncommon infected that is noted for being the only infected that doesn't attack the player character, but rather flees when the player is near it.
