The Ironhead is a creature that appears in Resident Evil Revelations 2. These humanoid B.O.W.'s are the result of Afflicted subjects having undergone further experimentation and enhancement, increasing their size and strength.
Biology[]
The Ironhead is a human being that has been infected with the T-Phobos virus and has been further modified through various invasive surgical procedures. As well as muscular enhancement, numerous metallic attachments have been grafted to the body, most notably the helmet that completely conceals the head. While the head is protected by the helmet, the muscle tissue surrounding the neck is exposed and serves as a weakness, though it can still take a considerable amount of ammo from small arms to kill one of these creatures.
Behaviour[]
Ironheads are slow moving and very strong. They carry huge axes around with them and will use them to attack prey. Because they are slow, they can be easy to avoid so long as they are not encountered in enclosed spaces.
Weaknesses[]
Headshots have no affect against Ironheads as their helmets are bulletproof, however their chests and necks seem to lack skin tissue, exposing the muscle and providing a weak spot. Handguns and even shotguns do not inflict much damage, but concentrated automatic fire or Magnum rounds can make short work of them. Ironheads are also adversely affected by light; shining a flashlight on them causes their skin to sizzle and can momentarily stun them, leaving them open to a melee attack.
