On Insane difficulty, all charged zombies do 150 damage, except for the Businessman and Construction Worker. They do 300! damage a hit. Infernal variants of the Businessman and Construction Worker also do 2x the damage as the other ones, but less than the charged.

Thanks to FranticDan for pointing this out in the forums.

I think they buffed radiated businessman and worker up to biker/tourist/bigmama grade:
<passive_effect name="EntityDamage" operation="perc_add" value="1"/>
And charged variants inherited this badassery.
If charged biker/tourist/bigmama existed, they would have probably done the same damage .

Is that consistent with their infernal variants (for construction worker and businessman) also doing double damage?

Yes, infernal zombies template also inherites from radiated template.

Although in other cases they change zombie damage by swapping to a different "arm" weapon, so the whole thing might be an experiment that slipped through and not an intentional change. Personally I find it fine that worker and businessman are stronger at radiated+ grades.

Are we allowed to bump these threads? Just curious if this is intended or not.

I think it's kinda neat that there are two specific zombies that you have to really keep an eye out for -- ones that will totally wreck you -- but I'm assuming it's not intended.
