Loot Goon
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Race	Zombified
Faction	Zombie
Location	Generally Hospital, Dead Haven, Lumber Yard & Hallow's End

Loot goons are similar to Tankensteins, only with a red weapon crate on their back rather than an exploding barrel. When Loot Goons are killed their chest becomes lootable.

Locations

• Generally Hospital (Either on the start or the end of the beach)
• Dead Haven (Either on the other side of the fence when you go up the stairs from the lift or in the centre of Dead Haven where Tankensteins usually spawn)
• Hallow's End (Outside Pumpkinhead's Patch)
• Lumber Yard (Just before the bridge)

Strategy

• Treat them like a Tankenstein: use Incendiary, and avoid Shock.
• Mainly, they use a melee attack or charge, but they occasionally throw a lightning ball that can momentarily stun the Vault Hunter.
• The easiest way to take down a Loot Goon is to get behind cover or atop a roof. It will then do a "taunting" animation, whereupon the Vault Hunter can plink away with headshots for an easy kill. Conversely, just backpedal and blast away at its head with a shotgun.
• Besides lobbing lightning balls, they occasionally perform an electric slam attack that is similar to Sledge's skill, and does considerable damage to shields.

Notes

• Like a Tankenstein, killing a Loot Goon with a critical headshot does not produce a zombie brain.
• The contents of the Loot Goon's weapon chest have the same level as the Loot Goon. In the endgame, this is one of the few sources of level 69 gear.

Trivia

• A Loot Goon's green skin and general visage may be a reference to The Incredible Hulk.
