Mimic
A fast Special that disguises itself as an object before grabbing an Operator.
Quick facts & reference
Overviewedit Overview
A Mimic can look like ordinary loot until it reveals its tentacles and mouth. In Modern Warfare Zombies it closes distance quickly, spits acid, and can pull an Operator into melee range.
Countering the Mimic
Break line of sight around cover to lengthen its route. Its mouth is the critical zone, but lining up that shot at close range risks a grab. When it commits to a grab, the creature stops moving and squadmates have a brief chance to focus fire.
