These Shamblers are hulking monsters who can crash through walls with ease and will crush you to a bloody pulp if they get a hold of you. Individuals who run into one of these beats will want to make sure to keep their distance. Now, Shamblers are strong enemies who can take a good amount of damage before they die, which means that you will have to deliver a good deal of damage to them while keeping your distance if you want to kill one effectively. 

We suggest using Molotovs to dish out continually damage to one of these monsters. You should then utilize your hardest-hitting weapons and traps to eliminate this kind of enemy quickly. Weapons like your shotgun, rifle, and explosive arrows from your bow will hurt the Shamblers significantly and allow you to kill them effectively.
