    Licker Target
    The Licker's primary weakness is its exposed brain. You can quickly dispatch a Licker with a few good shots to the head with an Assault Rifle.

    Use Flashbangs to Stop Their Movement

    Lickers are blind but extremely sensitive to sound. Knowing this, you can stun them if you throw a Flash Grenade at them to stop their movement.

    Carlos' Tackle

    When using Carlos, you can also use his R1 to punch the Licker and leave it stunned for a short duration.

    It Has the Same Timing As a Perfect Dodge

    When using Carlos' R1, the timing is the same as a Perfect Dodge. Dealing with Lickers is easier when using Carlos because of this ability.
