Hocker

Summary
The Hocker is a zombie found within ZAPT:R. It takes on the appearance of a tall, rather skinny zombie with skin colors varying from lime green to mint green. If a Hocker spots a Survivor, they will run up to them and then proceed to spit acid at them whenever they get close enough. The acid will do 10 damage 5 times in a row in less than 3 seconds, which makes the Hocker an incredibly dangerous zombie to be around.

Player Hockers could be considered even more dangerous than bot Hockers, as not only can they climb up surfaces like Standard Zombies can, but they can also fire their acid spit from a distance even further than the bot Hocker's can.

Background Story
Survivors would constantly be on a lookout for these zombies, as they can easily devastate a well-prepared group. Luckily, the Survivors have taken note of its taller-than-usual appearance, as well as its skin colors varying in between different shades of green. To this date, many still are not certain where the Hocker broods its acid in, though most assume it is likely its stomach.

It is still currently unknown what the Hocker may have been before the infection.

Survivors

 * Hockers will only attack if they get up close to you. Make sure to keep your distance away from them.
 * Hockers can be very easily identified through their varying skin colors, as well as their tall stature.
 * A Hocker's spit can deal 10 damage 5 times in a row in less than 3 seconds, which would amount up to 50 damage per hit from the acid.
 * These zombies have the same HP as Standard Zombies and Smokers, so it should be relatively easy to take them out.
 * Keep an eye on areas higher than you, as Player Hockers may prefer to snipe at you from a distance.

Zombies

 * Hockers can be excellent in helping taking out trapped Survivors (i.e. choked by a Smoker or being ridden by a Jockey) way faster.
 * Your acid does have a pretty short range, so try to keep hidden while also staying relatively close to the Survivors.
 * Once a Survivor has very low HP, the acid's effects will not work on them. Therefore, you need to take them out through some other means.
 * Be careful -- you only have 100 HP, so you may easily be taken out by any Survivor.
 * Team up with any zombie horde to double your damage against a Survivor team.

Trivia

 * The Hocker is very heavily based off of the Spitter from Left 4 Dead 2.
 * The Hocker was added to ZAPT:R on March 1st, 2020.
 * This makes it the first brand new zombie added to ZAPT:R.
 * Funnily enough, Hockers can be affected by their own acid damage if they spit at a Survivor way too closely.
 * In concept art for the Hocker, it was shown to have an elongated neck with a pouch in it, used for storing its acid in. However, this never came to fruition as Dark Blockland Guard 2 didn't exactly know how to model at the time.
 * It's acid was also shown to have dispersed into a puddle upon contact with a surface. However, this idea also never came to fruition, likely due to the difficulties in trying to make such a thing happen in Blockland.
