Rebel is an infected survivalist armed with several Molotov cocktails and dressed in a black t-shirt and black pants, both of which are heavily stained with dirt and vomit, and a yellow bandana neck scarf. His explosive concoctions are attached and carried by a thin brown belt. The flesh on his arm and leg are missing, exposing bone. He has glowing blue eyes.

Overview

Rebel is a regular mid-game enemy that causes guaranteed knockback, and has a minor resistance to it itself. It's also able to land critical hits, which don't knock units back.

After being killed, Rebel explodes and creates a fire pool. The explosion has a radius of ~20, and can push units back.

Strategy

Rebel can be considered a much more dangerous version of Chinese, thanks to him having much more health and dealing twice as much damage while still possessing the same abilities. Rebel's true danger, however, lies in his ability to explode on death and leave a fire pool behind. These improvements essentially make him an upgraded version of Firefighter (Zombie). However, much like the majority of enemies who explodes on death. Rebel's on-death explosion can actually be of use to the player's advantage because it and the fire pool it creates can harm other zombies which never walk around it.

Firefighter is a direct counter to Rebel, as he has both fire and explosion resistances. Since Rebel can deal critical hits, it's recommended bringing Medkit along to keep a single Firefighter alive longer. Using other melee units against Rebel is somewhat discouraged, however, spam units can also be used against them efficiently, but they should be sent out one by one. Ranged units are highly recommended as they can easily kill Rebel from a safe distance. Molotov, ironically enough, and Red Barrel are both some of the best rage abilities to use when fighting against Rebel groups.
