Karnivore punks

Karnivore punks are a high-level enemy that can be found in Nukem Academy, which is located in southwestern Slagtown (NK on the map.)

Karnivore punks do loads of bullet damage. This can be countered with Caballero jackets and pants, along with other armor with high bullet resistance (DC exo gear, for instance).

They are worth 350$ per kill through karnivore killing contracts which can be procured at Commander Andy's in Slagtown.

Decently skilled firearms users should not have much of a problem with Karnivores due to the ability to get into cover before or during a fight.

They also, rarely, drop flame chains and 44 magnums. So do footballers for some reason.

Do watch out for mutant footballers as they are on a whole different level than the punks.
