Dead Space Remake (2023)- ExploderExploder
Exploders are small hunchbacked suicide-bomber necromorphs. Because they are meant to destroy themselves by explosion, they are the most efficient type of necromorph. A single Exploder can create dozens of dead bodies for Infectors to transform. If they explode near you, they’ll inflict a great deal of damage and knock you off your feet.

How to Beat Exploders

To beat Exploders, simply shoot the yellow sac on their left arm; This will cause them to explode and splatter. Be sure that you are in a safe enough distance as the blast from the explosion can still chip away at your HP if you are too close.

Utilize Their Sacs

When confronting a horde of Necromorphs, sever the yellow sac on an Exploder if there is one, and throw the sac at other Necromorphs for efficiency.
