Slinger

The Slinger is a humanoid B.O.W. that appears in Barry Burton's campaign in Resident Evil Revelations 2. A variation of the Revenant, Slingers are created by introducing the Uroboros virus to human victims. The exact methods for creating a Slinger are unknown, but the result is a Revenant with a massive fleshy swelling enveloping its head, chest and left arm. A thorny parasitic extension can be seen growing from the stump of the left arm which the Slinger will throw at its prey.

Behaviour
Unlike other Revenants, Slingers do not close in on their prey. Instead they hang back, growing bizarre parasitic spawn from their arms which they will then throw at distant enemies. These organic projectiles will explode on impact, inflicting serious damage on the target. After throwing a projectile, the Slinger will quickly produce a new one.

Weaknesses
Like all Uroboros mutations, the Slinger is vulnerable to extreme heat and fire will kill it quickly. There is also an exposed orange pustule visible on its upper body; destroying this growth will kill the Slinger instantly. Given that Slingers attack from a distance, sniper rifles are the most effective weapons to use against these monsters.
