Astronaut Zombie

Astronaut zombies are a new zombie type that appear on the map Moon. They are unaffected by the map's shifting gravity.

They violently explode upon death, sending the player flying many meters back, and if there are any zombies in its close proximity, they will die. They have a red player's name, always one of the host's friends, above them in an attempt to trick the player into disregarding them. On Solo, it uses the random names used on Local Combat Training games. However, it will change name every time it spawns. They also grab and headbutt the player, causing them to teleport to a random point on the map, also it will take a random perk from the player and at the same time severely damage the player. If a player is unfortunate or unaware enough to be grabbed by this special zombie, they can escape by pulling back on the movement stick as long as they do it within the first few seconds of being grabbed. Astronaut Zombies do not react when shot, and they move very slowly. Astronaut zombies will spawn alongside other zombies, and do not have a special round. They also have above average health. Shooting them will not get the player points, however, points are awarded upon death.
