All Zeds & Their Weaknesses in Killing Floor 3

Type of Zed	Weakness	Weak Points	How to Beat Them
Clot	Biological	Head	Given their low health, almost any form of damage will effectively kill a Clot. A single headshot from most weapons is usually enough to beat them.
Mire Clot	Electrical, Cold	Head, Stomach Postule	These are more of a threat than regular Clots. Target its stomach and land clean headshots to take them out quickly.
Crawler Larva	Heat	Head	A precise headshot will quickly eliminate a Crawler Larva. Since they often swarm in groups, explosives are a smart way to clear them out efficiently.
Crawler	Heat	Head	Much like their larval form, Crawlers have tiny heads that can be tricky to hit, but a direct shot will drop them instantly.
Cyst	Biological	Head	Headshots are the quickest way to kill a Cyst.
Mire Cyst	Electrical, Cold	Head	These behave like regular Cysts but are more dangerous. A quick headshot will stop them from getting too close.
Bloat	Cut	Head, InflatedRed Pustules	Precise headshots can cleanly eliminate Bloats and prevent a toxic death explosion.
Gorefast	Biological	Head	If a Gorefast is charging at you, move backwards while continuously firing at its head. A few accurate shots to the head will help you deal with it.
Husk	Cold, Force	Head, Cannon, Fuel Tank	Shoot the fuel tank on the Husk’s back to cause an explosion that can damage other Zeds too. If a Husk gets too close, melee attacks are an effective option. You can also interrupt its dangerous ranged attacks by shooting the cannon muzzle.
Siren	Heat, Biological	Head, Neck	Focus fire on the Siren’s head and neck to silence her and prevent her from screaming. Taking her down should be a top priority whenever she appears because of her disruptive scream.
Impaler	Acidic, Electrical	Head, Forearm Cores, Back Tube Cores, Back Core	Your first priority should be to shoot and damage the glowing cores on the Impaler's body. Destroying these cores prevents them from firing their dangerous missiles later in the fight.
Queen Crawler	Biological, Heat	Head, Inner Mouth, Back Abdomen Postules, Abdomen Scar Postule	Focused fire on the Queen Crawler's head and her mouth area will deal the most damage. Target her web traps and eggs to kill to avoid being overrun by her hatchlings.
Chimera	Cold, Force	Head, Glowing Arm, Chest, and Head Pustules	To beat a Chimera boss in Killing Floor 3, focus your attacks on its weak points. You can also take advantage of Turrets during this boss fight.
Fleshpound	Electrical, Force	Head, Chest Core, Back Core	Focus your fire on the Fleshpound's armor first. Breaking them exposes their weak parts, which you can shoot to inflict heavy damage.
Scrake	Cut, Biological, Ballistic	Head, Chainsaw Engine, Face	If you can’t land a headshot on the Scrake, focus your fire on its chainsaw. Destroying the chainsaw exposes critical weak points for you to attack. Then, turn your attention to its face. Breaking this will weaken the Scrake.
