Leaper

Summary
Some characteristics can be traced to the fast Crawler type zombies and the high-jumping and prowling Hunter-types that have disappeared a few years ago, suggesting that this could be a mutation, or perhaps it has even evolved from crawling on all fours and jumping to great heights to a more focused and powerful leap. However, the fact that Crawler-types and Hunter-types have both vanished so quickly and that they were almost immediately replaced with Leapers suggest once again, as shown with the previous specimens that have seemingly appeared out of the blue, that someone or something out there is making these zombies, or at least are genetically modifying them.

Controls
Leap: Leaps forward at a fast speed, pinning and disarming whoever it lands on. Consumes 20 energy.

Rip: Damages currently caught victim by 10 HP every hit at a rapid rate. Consumes no energy.

Tips

 * To avoid Leapers, shoot them in third person as it's easier to hit them. If a leaper jumps at you and you don't have ammo, time your melee attacks as they can save you, and quickly switch to your melee weapon if you have one at hand and hit it to do the most damage. Third, go to higher ground where the Leaper can't get you easily, but be warned as they can still jump nearly as high as you can.
 * Leapers can jump higher by looking up.
 * Hold space to cover ground quickly, or rush a survivor.
 * Jumping off from a high place on a survivor will usually allow you to deal a decent amount of damage, even if they're with their friends.
 * If you look up and hold space at the right angle, you can pin down survivors on trees in Panama Beach.
 * Try not to have low energy near survivors, enough misses and you will be totally defenseless. You require your prey to be pinned to attack it.
