Here are all the types of units.

Default enemies (Poxwalkers)

They are infested no matter where you shoot them.

Default Enemies 2

Idk what they are called but they are always Unarmoured

Armoured Default Melee

This guy has Flak Armour unless you shoot him in the head or legs where he is then counted as Unarmoured

This guy is Unarmoured unless you shoot him in the head then he is Flak Armoured

Grunts with Guns

This guy has Flak Armour unless shoot him in the arms or legs then he is Unarmoured

These guys are both Flak Armoured unless you shoot them in the arms or legs then they are Unarmoured

This guy is always Unarmoured

Bulwark

He is Unyielding everywhere except on the arms and shins where is Carapace Armoured

A bit of extra info: for some reason as long as you are in front of him it will always count as you hitting his shield which is 0 damage, even if you hit him in the legs or head or side. So if you want to do consistent damage to him, make sure you are always behind him because his shield will magnetically draw your bullets for some reason.

Crusher

He is always Carapace Armoured

Dreg Gunner

He is Flak Armoured on the chest and left foot, but arms, head, shoulders, legs and right foot are Unarmoured

Scab Bomber

Scab Flamer

They are always Maniacs

Scab Gunner

monsters?

LCDR Kydek 23 Oct, 2024 @ 6:39pm

The unarmored zombies you don't know the name of are called "Groaners".

Rodrigoberto 18 Jul, 2024 @ 11:04pm

What about bosses?

Aiden_2010 10 Dec, 2023 @ 11:17am

bomber head and arms seem to be unarmored

darth.crevette 7 Dec, 2023 @ 1:37am

"Dreg Rager: he is always a Maniac"

Yup, checks out!

SolidShark 29 Oct, 2023 @ 7:55pm

flak and caraspace is always a concern on Damnation. Get your team pump'd!

Dress Shirt Guy 12 Aug, 2023 @ 11:50am

So #1 is Maniac, #2 is Flak, and #3 is unarmored

Nicoy 12 Jan, 2023 @ 10:26pm

Yep these second basic enemies are Groaners, also im pretty sure Scab Bomber has unarmoured head. Except for that all of rest the seems correct

Rune 23 Dec, 2022 @ 2:02am

Default Enemies 2 there is perk with +damage vs Poxwalkers and Groaners - and as everything except those have names and there is one free name, I would assume, they are Groaners
