Screamers are one of the [[creatures]] found in the game.

They are hostile, two-legged monsters found exclusively in the [[Bunker (Biome)]]. These creatures appear blind and move using long, spindly limbs. Despite their lack of vision, they are highly sensitive to sound.

Screamers detect players through noise such as whistling, gunfire, or movement. Once they locate a target, they emit a loud scream that places the player into a pre-death state. This condition can only be avoided by killing the Screamer responsible before death occurs.

When killed, Screamers do not drop any loot.

== Location ==
Screamers can only be found in the [[Bunker (Biome)]].

== Behavior ==
Screamers are fully aggressive and will actively hunt players once they detect sound. They rely entirely on audio cues rather than sight to track targets.

Upon reaching a player, they will emit a scream instead of immediately attacking. This scream is their primary threat, as it triggers a pre-death state that forces the player to react quickly.

== Notes ==
* Screamers rely exclusively on sound detection, making noise management critical when navigating their area.
* Their scream does not instantly kill, but creates a timed death condition that must be interrupted.
* The scream of the screamers causes the summoning of ghouls that are in nearby rooms. So far, it has not been determined how far the effect of the scream reaches.

== Tips ==

* Avoid making unnecessary noise in the bunker, as this will attract Screamers.
* Despite their dangerous ability, Screamers are physically fragile and can be killed with a relatively small number of shots.
** But be aware that this might attract other Screamers, so sometimes a melee weapon might be better. 
*Killing screamers is relatively easy using the AS-VAL because it has a built-in suppressor, which means you don't make any sounds, it prevents the risk of attracting ghouls and other screamers.
* Most of the time, it's simply not worth trying to kill Screamers, as they don't drop anything and killing them can be a waste of time and resources, unless they really get in your way.
