"If we Naruto run, we can dodge their guns."

―Beginning of Wave 7 (Area 51)

Description

The Zoomer was an enemy that only appeared in Area 51 as part of the Area 51 Event. It was slightly faster than the Alien and Strong Alien, with the same health as the latter.

Appearance

The Zoomer had blonde hair and a white headband around its head. It had no eyes, had a drooling zombie face, wore orange wristbands and had green skin. Its torso was orange and its legs were dark orange. Its running animation was similar to the Naruto run.

Strategy

• If needed, you can use the Freezer or Pyromancer to slow Zoomers down.
• Low firerate towers, such as the Minigunner, are very effective against Zoomers, while high firerate towers, such as the Sniper, will struggle against it.
• You can use the Demoman and Rocketer to damage groups of Zoomers, though you may need a Commander to lower their firerate.
