Description

The Hazmat is an enemy that appears in Casual, Intermediate and Molten modes. It has a decent amount of health, a slightly fast speed and 60% defense. Additionally, it always spawns with the Stun and Freeze Immunity, making it harder to slow down. On multiple waves, it also appears with the Health Regen and Slime attributes.

Due to a bug, it used to replace the Hazardous in Polluted Wasteland II.

Strategy

• High DPS towers like the Accelerator, Minigunner or Engineer can be quite useful against this.
• Crowd control towers, like the Rocketeer, Mortar or Pyromancer can be quite useful against this, as it spawns in groups.
  • Additionally, splash damage towers bypass its defense, allowing them to deal full damage to it and making them especially useful against the Hazmat.
• Defense dropping towers like the Pyromancer, Electroshocker or Jester can be useful against this, as it has quite high defense.
  • Additionally, the Pyromancer or Jester can be quite efficient at killing Hazmats.
  • As it has Freeze Immunity, freezing towers cannot be used to drop its defense.
  • It cannot be knocked back as it has the Stun Immunity.

Trivia

• Between the 23rd and 31st of May 2024, the Hazmat accidentally replaced the Polluted Hazmat in Polluted Wasteland II. This made Wave 7 and the following waves significantly harder due to the steep health increase.
  • Before the issue was fixed altogether, the Hazmat's health was reduced to 60 in Polluted Wasteland II to balance the mode out.
• The randomized animations are inspired by the Ticker from Reason 2 Die: Awakening.
• The icon for the Hazmat uses its first appearance instead of its current appearance.
  • This is due to the icon used being actually taken and uploaded a day before v1.45.0 released, where at the time it used that appearance. The icon was never updated for its new appearance.
