How to beat all bosses in Killing Floor 3

1) Impaler

The Impaler is a tanky boss that lunges at the targets, damaging them with its retractable blade. This enemy is fast and will chase the specialists if they try to escape. The best course of strategy is to fight them head-on, instead of looking for corners. They also have some glowing weak spots that can be exploited to deal additional damage.

Areas, like forearm cores, head and back cores, are armored, which can be destroyed by using Armor-Piercing or Acid ammo-type weapons. You should aim for the forearms, which will stop it from firing projectiles. You can swiftly predict the Impaler's movement, as it charges in the direction it faces.

2) Queen Crawler

Defeating the Queen Crawler is easy compared to other bosses. This boss enemy is not armored, and you can target any area of its body to deal damage. However, it's still lethal and can chase the specialists with its speed. The beast is not only agile but can also corner your team by spawning Crawler larvae.

You can't outrun Queen Crawler or allow it to corner you in an enclosed space. Its weak spots are, head, glowing pustules, and inner mouth, which can be targeted with Heat or Biological weapons to deliver maximum damage. Use ziplines and ledge mantling to escape from its larvae.

3) Chimera

Chimera is possibly the hardest boss in the game. This armored abomination can use both melee and ranged attacks, giving it an unfair advantage in the match. It can summon Mire Cysts, which will ambush your team during the entirety of the boss fight. You can shoot the yellow projectiles called Mire Globes to prevent the Cysts from spawning.

The optimal way to defeat a Chimera is by shooting its face with Cold and Force-type weapons. This is the only spot in its body that is unarmored. Upon reaching half health, it will lose its armor. Various glowing spots will appear on its body, which you can shoot to inflict additional damage.
