The Spitter

The Spitter is one of the masters of ranged combat for the Xenomorph team. Though you lose the ability to spit neurotoxin, you gain a powerful acid spit and spray that can quickly incapacitate your targets. Remember that you are also a glass cannon and will best help your team by being ranged attack and support, not by running into melee fights where you can easily be brought down by weapon fire or explosions.

Playing the Xenomorphs Call of Duty man

To engage the marines and make the xenomorphs prevail, you can:

• Use acid spit to hit marines
• Poke around corners to shoot at marines
• Spit acid spray to stun marines
• Blast scatterspit to put the fear in marines' heart
• Maintain distance between marines
• Engage suppressive fire against marines' push
• Extinguish fire, whether on ground or on xenomorphs, with acid spray

Your acid spit is a fast-flying projectile capable of traveling up to seven tiles. When it hits a marine, it will do damage both from the impact and from the splash it makes as it puddles on the ground. Unlike neurotoxin, this burn damage is permanent until healed. Acid spit has a chance to be blocked by barricades, and will land in front of the barricade if this happens.

Your second powerful ability is acid spray which sprays a line of acid across the ground up to seven tiles away. This ability must be channeled for a short time (less than a second) and will then spread in a line towards your target, allowing you to move away even before it's finished. Acid spray will knock down any marine that it hits and will do damage to anyone that moves through it while it's on the ground. It can also be sprayed through barricades, making it a powerful tool for attacking fortified areas.

Maturity Statistics and Evolution Paths

The Spitter can evolve into a Boiler or Praetorian.

Maturity increases stats as follows.

• Slash is the melee damage when the xenomorph is in harm intent and slashing marine. In the code, it's melee_damage.
• Melee, bullet, laser, energy, bomb, bio, rad, fire, and acid are soft armor values, not hard armor, which means that they reduce damage by a percentage rather than a flat value.
• Spit Delay is the charging time it takes to spit acid

Spitter Abilities

Ability	Description	Plasma Cost	Cooldown
Toggle Bump Attacks	Allows you to toggle bump attacks on and off. This allows you to slash any enemy creature by running into them. The red arrow means it's on, you attack when on HARM intent; the green arrow means it's off, you push when on HARM intent.	N/A	N/A
Rest	Used to rest and get up. You heal faster when resting on weeds.	N/A	2 seconds
Psy Drain	This ability is used on dead Marines. For every Marine's psyche drained, the Hive will gain between 30 and 90 psychic points, depending on the number of Marines spawned; and 1/8 of a larva.	50	N/A
Corrosive Acid	Expels acid onto an object or wall, destroying it after a while. If used on wall, a hole will appear after some time. Small xenos can climb through, large xenos can break the wall with the hole on it open. CTRL + click to interact with the acid hole. During the prep phase, all xenomorphs with this ability get strong acid. [Acid Strength by Caste] Drone and Sentinel, and Scorpion have the weakest acid. Takes 8 minutes to melt a hole in a regular wall. Cannot be used on reinforced walls. Hivelord, Shrike, Spitter, and Praetorian have common acid. Takes 3 minutes to melt a hole in a regular wall. Cannot be used on reinforced walls. Boiler, Primordial Hivelord, Queen, and King have the strongest acid. Takes 1.5 minutes to melt a hole in any type of wall.	75 if caste has weak acid; 100 for medium and strong acid	N/A
Xeno Spit	Spit neurotoxin or acid at a target or tile. While neurotoxin is generally not lethal, it will cause pain and slow marines and can have a big impact while supporting other Xenos or fighting on your own. Your acid spit will do burn damage and can slowly wear down poorly-guarded barricades.	40-100	N/A
Scatter Spit	Scatter spit discharges a buckshot spread blast of 6 x 20 burn damage acid projectiles that leave short duration acid puddles behind.	280	5 seconds
Spray Acid	Channel a linear spray of acid across the ground at a target or tile up to 7 tiles away. Knocks down targets it hits and does tick damage to any target that stands in or moves across the acid while it remains on the ground. Extinguishes fires on friendly xenomorphs and on any turfs.	250	30

Primordial Evolution

Once the hive has enough psychic points, your queen has the option to unlock powerful primordial evolutions for each strain. Primordial evolutions grant additional abilities for the relevant class.
For the Spitter, this primordial ability is Machinegun Spit.

Ability	Description	Plasma Cost	Cooldown
Machinegun Spit	Massively decreases the firing delay of acid spit.	N/A	N/A

Tips & Tricks

• Spitters are very accurate. Take advantage of darkness and range to constantly deal damage to marines on the edge of your vision.
• Acid spray applied in the right spot can turn the tide of a battle or save your life if you need to escape. Don't forget to use it.
