Paramedic is an infected armed with a pair of malfunctioning defibrillators and dressed in a torn red fireproof paramedic uniform with yellow reflective strips. He carries his defibrillators in a yellow AED cabinet strapped to his back. He has a bloody, gaping mouth and parts of his body have swollen.

Overview

Paramedic is an enemy that has extreme tankiness for the stage it first appears in. Its treated as a boss of location 1, and later appears as a regular enemy throughout the game. Like most tanks, it possesses a high level of knockback resistance.

Paramedic has an ability to randomly charge itself with electricity. While in this state, it's unable to move, and becomes immune to bullet damage. If Paramedic gets struck with a melee, fire, or explosive attack while being invulnerable, it exits the state, and creates a lightning bolt that deals fire damage to all other nearby entities (without applying afterburn).

Paramedic can only stay charged for 20 seconds, after which it simply exits the state without creating a lightning. Its bullet resistance can also be penetrated with the Tactical set or Sniper Polina's SA, allowing to damage a charged Paramedic without setting off its lightning. True damage attacks, such as Dr. Norman's fumes, do not trigger the discharge either. Additionally, Paramedic's state becomes temporarily disabled while it's frozen: it loses its bullet resistance, and the discharge can't be triggered.
