The Iron Widow

Where: Anywhere, 22:00 to 02:00. One on the map, near the most players

Abilities

• Arrives dark and silent. It creeps up only while you are not looking, and goes still when you do.
• Turn around and find it close, and it lights up and screams.
• Its whistle gets into your bones: stamina comes back slower.
• Charges in a straight line after a hiss, and blasts scalding steam at close range.
• Tails a moving car ten feet behind the bumper. Stop for a couple of seconds and it hits the car.
• Tears through walls and doors harder than any zombie.

How to beat it

• Listen for skittering legs, and for your own music going quiet.
• Sidestep the charge: it only runs straight.
• Bullets do less to it than melee does. Before game stage 150 it cannot one-shot you.
• Early on it comes one night in twenty. From game stage 150 it is out every night.

Something still runs on the old line. It whistles like a train.

Trophy: Widow's Whistle, Widow Core, a share of ammo, medicine and end game materials for everyone who fought it
