Gorefiend (Killing Floor 2)

The Gorefiend

Gorefiends appear as the same as Gorefasts but dark skinned and has a long tongue, wielding 2 large swords wedged in both arms. They are quite durable and fast, while also possessing the ability to spin at a fast rate damaging their fore. They fulfil the role of the damage dealers and for a small line of defence in the specimen line-up. Gorefiends utilize same AI settings as normal Gorefasts and has difficulty-specific odds to spawn instead of their single bladed counterparts.

Speed

Gorefiends move slowly when docile, and sprint when enraged.
Gorefiends will only begin sprinting upon getting close (8m) to players. They do not sprint on sight despite having 100% sprint chance.
Gorefiends will sprint once they are shot.
Once enraged, Gorefiends will never stop sprinting until they are killed.
Movement speed is randomized within ± 10% range and further modified by a multiplier based on difficulty.

Walking speed (per difficulty)	(216 - 264) x (0.9 / 0.95 / 0.95 / 0.95) x (1 / 1 / 1 / 1)
Running speed (per difficulty)	(481 - 588) x (0.9 / 0.95 / 0.95 / 0.95) x (1 / 1 / 1 / 1)
Hidden speed	600
Sprint chance	Normal - 1 / Hard - 1 / Suicidal - 1 / HOE - 1
Sprint chance (when damaged)	Normal - 1 / Hard - 1 / Suicidal - 1 / HOE - 1

For comparison, by default a healthy player character with the minimal weight walks at speed of 383 units/s, and sprints at speed of 460 units/s.

Gorefiends will destroy armor extremely fast, and continues to chip away at armor.
Gorefiends can also attack with their swords if players are too close to them.
Gorefiends can block gunfire. When shot at, Gorefiends will cross their swords in front of their face to block bullets.
