The Charred Ridden belong to the Common Ridden family in Back 4 Blood, alongside the Common, Armored, Blighted, and Volatile variants. These enemies are perpetually engulfed in flames, yet they take no afterburn damage. Their constant burning makes them easier to spot from a distance, which can be especially helpful in levels where fog or Gloom cards are active.
Their card effect warns that they deal damage over time to anyone nearby. However, this only becomes a significant threat if the player has cards equipped that increase fire damage taken. The more subtle danger lies in their immunity to fire-based attacks—Molotovs and gas can explosions won't stop them. As a result, Cleaners must stay alert around burning entry points like doors or windows, as Charred Ridden can walk through flames unharmed.
