When exploded on, your blind. When puked upon, you are blind.
Do they both attract the same number held? I think if your exploded on there should be more of a consequence like double the amount of zombies you had held for the puke considering you have exploded a shit load.
What do you guys think? Because, if your dumb enough to shoot a boomer when he's next to you there should be more of a consequence than the same you'd get for it just vomiting.

well the puke is a short range the explode is a big area so there is a big disadvantage to have it near people

short range
I think that the puke goes a little more than short range in some of the new video's it looked like it could go in real life about over or around 12 feet. When it explodes it just has a radius distance of like 4-5 feet.

I agree, non damaging boomer explosion seemed like a massive nerf to the boss when I first heard about that, there needs to be some other effect that makes it very bad for your health in some other way when a boomer dies near you.

Maybe a temporary life shortage? It doesn't actually hurt you and your hp goes down by 20 but comes back up over 10 second period :D

The person that shot the boomer should receive the most damage/punishment in my opinion.

The puke attack doesn't summon a fixed number of Infected anyways. It charges up the longer you wait. So, maybe the number of Infected, resulting from the explosion, is always the same while the puke attack slowly gets stronger.

your blind

The word you're looking for is "you're."

Good thinking.

This is somewhat unclear. Some Ppl say it does not do any damage at all. Some say only on higher levels of difficulty. I just don't know for sure.

The damage it caused was taken away a long time ago. That was a really bad idea IMO, and they should at least make it do damage in higher difficulties, if not in all.
