Dillon is the fourth major boss encountered during the main story. You'll face him in Venice Beach.

During the main quest The Giant-Slayer you'll need to access Lenny's store's parking lot, at the north of Venice Beach. Climb the damaged southern fence - you won't be able to leave until you beat the boss. Dillon, an Inferno Crusher - a stronger variant of the already known Crushers - will appear.

The fight works similarly to those with "regular" breakers:

  1. Block or dodge in melee range - Blocking is preferable, as you can stun the boss with a successful parry.
  2. Block shockwaves or jump over them - Dillon causes waves of fire, which are more dangerous than regular ones.

You can weaken the boss using:

  1. Melee weapons - remember to hit him with strong attacks whenever he kneels after depleting his blue bar.
  2. Firearms - watch the indicators around the boss and stop firing if the game informs you he's resistant to the weapon you're using (its damage type).
  3. Fury mode - activating it will vastly increase your damage output.

Just like in other similar battles, don't focus too much on regular zombies, prioritize the boss. Dillon will drop some loot and Lenny's Parking Lot Key - you can use it at any of the gates to leave the arena.
