The Scab Captains in Darktide use a mixture of powerful melee and ranged attacks to damage party members, and they also have an energy shield that protects them. When broken, the energy shield will knock back nearby players. This shield will recharge after a few seconds.
One player can keep the Scab Captain busy by engaging him in melee, disrupting his ability to shoot at people and buying time for allies to deal with any other threats. His melee attacks can all be blocked or dodged and it's quite easy to learn his attack patterns once you've fought him a couple of times. Make sure to block or dodge his sweeping heavy attack, which has a very wide angle of impact (it can even hit you if you're stood behind him).
