* The Whippers zombie variant from the SoLA DLC looks nightmarish enough with them being zombified women that were completely disemboweled which somehow has caused their small intestines to get wrapped around one of their arms. They use their small intestines as makeshift organic whips to attack you with which is disturbing in itself. Their is extra added on horror that much like the Bursters they will talk to you if you hit them enough, screaming for you to stay away or that they'll kill you in a frantic tone, which suggests that they also are very much aware of the horrific state they are in and likely have no control over their bodies. This lends further credence to the horrifying idea that a lot of the other zombie types are aware of what they are doing but cannot stop their own bodies from killing and eating people.

* One of the many actions the army and CDC were taking to curb the outbreak was to (and brace yourself for this one) [[spoiler: process large quantities of civilians and isolate them, gas them with chemicals to render them unconscious, and then liquefy them while they were still alive by pouring their bodies into a swimming pool converted into a vat of super-strong industrial alkali. The "meat soup" that resulted was then pumped into the sewers as a haphazard form of disposal, creating a [[MeatMoss nightmarish situation in the sewers]] that put even the nastiest dens of the first game harshly to shame.]] [[ShockingMoments Holy mother of god.]]

* Ambient dialogue activated when a Burster is made aware of the player can have the zombie variant either begging for help from or apologizing to the Slayer. Implying the horrific possibility that the Bursters, and perhaps ''more'' zombies who cannot vocalize properly anymore, may still maintain some form of consciousness that forces them to watch themselves kill, maul, and devour other humans from within their own bodies.

* The massive tumor-like growths of infected flesh found in certain places, voluminous enough in mass to cause ''earthquakes'' and seemingly sentient to a degree. And what's weirder and more horrifying is that no one, not even Reed and his group, knows what purpose it exists for, if it even has a purpose at all.

* The game begins with an airplane crash, complete with the PlayerCharacter impaled by debris and pulling it out of his body. Unsurprisingly their bleeding because of that.

* The Autophage. On the surface it seems like an average zombie plague, maybe even something that some MadScientist cooked up in their lab to set upon L.A for whatever reason. But under that bland surface and as certain truths come to light, the true scope of this sinister pathogen becomes frighteningly clear: [[spoiler: It's a genetic kill-switch, set into every man, woman and child on Earth, and set to pop within the next hundred years or so, causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt as every last living human alive falls victim to the Autophage and drives themselves to extinction in an orgy of carnage and destruction.]]

* The F.L.E.S.H. system truly takes {{gorn}} to new heights, where you can kill the zombies in incredibly gory ways.

** Hell, the entire evacuation is one. The military desperately trying to evacuate as many people as possible while also doing ''everything'' from keeping the outbreak contained.
