Mangler Locations
Eliminate the Bounty Contracts
Manglers are found in Eliminate the Bounty contract missions. This contract can target other Elite Zombies, but often times it would direct you to a Mangler. Keep accepting these contracts and you're bound to come across one.
Escort Contracts
One of the best ways to spawn Special Zombies is through Escort contracts. Although random, Manglers have a high chance of spawning while you're escorting the ACV. In our experience, we were able to fight a total of 5 Manglers in a single Escort contract!
Random Spawns
Manglers can also randomly spawn on the map and often times it would be during contracts. To have a high chance of a Mangler spawn, it's recommended to accept contracts in the medium or high threat zones.

Use Shatter Blast or Napalm Burst Ammo Mods
You can destroy a Mangler's armor by shooting it using a weapon with the Shatter Blast or Napalm Burst Ammo Mods. This will significantly increase the damage you deal to a Mangler, as you can directly hit its flesh.
Aim for the Head
Every zombie has a critical spot that acts as their weak point; for Manglers, it's their heads that serve as a critical spot. Always try to aim for this spot to deal more damage to them.
Use Energy Mine Field Upgrade
The Energy Mine Field Upgrade can deal significant damage to Elite Zombies, and Manglers are no exception. To use it, make sure that you have the Energy Mine Field Upgrade equipped in your loadout before heading to Urzikstan.
Once you've accumulated enough charge, click on (Rb + Lb) on your controller or (X) on your keyboard to plant it on the ground. Once it is planted, lure the Mangler close to make it explode.

Keep Your Distance
Attacks from Manglers are fairly easy to dodge; even their range attack can be avoided by simply running backing up a bit. Make sure to avoid confronting Manglers in tight spaces, as they can get to you before you manage to deplete their health.
What are Manglers?
Humanoid Elite Zombies
Manglers are human-type zombies covered in metallic armor that almost makes them look robotic. This type of elite zombie is known to be extremely durable and adept at attacking melee or midrange with an explosive weapon.
