Summary
- Burners in Daryl Dixon’s The Walking Dead spinoff pose a new threat as the iconic zombie guts trick no longer works on them due to their physical properties.
- The presence of burners makes it challenging for Daryl and his companions to navigate through hordes of zombies. The risk of physical contact with burners, who can cause severe injury with a simple touch, means they need to think fast about their next steps when facing a group of burners.
- Not only is physical contact with burners dangerous, but their blood is also acidic, making it fatal if it touches the skin. This eliminates the option of using burners’ blood for camouflage, further complicating Daryl and other characters’ escape plans.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has introduced new burner variants that make the iconic zombie guts trick impossible to pull off. Throughout this beloved franchise, audiences have witnessed characters smothering themselves in zombie blood and organs to stop these walking corpses from smelling them. As seen in The Walking Dead’s first season, Rick and Glenn opened up a zombie to retrieve its blood for camouflage, allowing them to walk among the dead. The masked scent has helped characters to escape hordes and even join them when sneaking past human enemies unnoticed. However, a new variant in Daryl Dixon’s spinoff could make this trick ineffective due to the zombie’s physical properties.
Burners are The Walking Dead’s new zombie type, and it’s clear that these zombies aren’t to be messed with. Daryl had the unfortunate experience of getting an acidic burn from one of these zombie variants as he tried to fight them off, suggesting that no matter what characters wear, the mutated variant can still burn and cause severe physical damage. The zombie gut trick has always worked for characters escaping difficult situations, but that might not be the case anymore with the burners in Daryl Dixon.
Daryl Dixon Can’t Use The Walking Dead’s Zombie Guts Trick With Burners
Although the blood and guts trick was a smart way of getting through zombie hordes, Daryl Dixon can no longer use the iconic camouflage in the presence of burners. Since these burners can injure characters with a simple touch, it would be challenging to get past them without some form of physical contact. It’s a risk that Daryl wouldn’t take seeing as he got grabbed by one, causing his arm to severely burn and require cauterization from Isabelle. If a group of burners were to show up again in larger numbers, Daryl and his fellow companions would need to think fast about their next steps.
Avoiding the touch of burners is impossible for the zombie guts trick, but using them for their blood is also out of the question. The burner’s blood is acidic, meaning one drop on the skin could be extremely fatal if the wound isn’t cleaned and properly cared for. Shown in the Daryl Dixon premiere when the titular character stabbed one of the zombies in the head, the blood immediately began to sizzle on the ground, proving its blood had the ability to burn whatever it touched. This means that Daryl and other characters can’t use burners to cover themselves in blood and guts in order to escape.
Burners Make The Walking Dead’s Zombie Outbreak Dangerous Again
Burners are new Walking Dead variants that raise the stakes for Daryl and his new friends, Laurent, Isabelle, and Sylvie. Regular zombies, as seen throughout the main show, have followed the stereotype of being slow and somewhat clumsy. Although these zombies could still grab people, many characters have escaped their grasp unharmed, but the same can’t be said for burners. The burner that grabbed Daryl seemed like a stronger variant, with its contaminated skin burning Daryl as he struggled to pull his arm free. Stabbing these zombies up close could also risk their blood spilling onto the face and other parts of the body, another dangerous injury that may even cause death.
The outbreak has always been dangerous, but the characters eventually got used to the way zombies behaved, including their weak points and strengths. However, introducing other zombie variants will undo this knowledge because characters like Daryl have no experience with them, increasing their chances of actually getting infected. It’s obvious that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon producers are making the zombie outbreak dangerous again by creating these new variants, which also means the iconic zombie guts trick becomes impossible for survival.
