Creeper

Creeper

Summary

The smallest and least intelligent of the Plague, the Creepers are quick and attack in packs. They like to get the drop on you from above so keep your head up and wits about you. Once you have them on the ground, a good head stomp should do the trick.

Attacks

The Creeper has two methods of attack the first being a close range melee attack. When the attack in melee they have a chance to leap and srike you. The second way they attack you is by spitting a ranged acid attack although the attack is weak, but when attacked in swarms this can be deadly.

Variants

The Creepers come in two variations the first being a small red eyed form that is weak. The second variant is a large blue eyed variant that has all the abilities of the smaller one just more powerful.

Spawning

The creepers like most of the other Plague are spawned by the pods although they do have a tendency to appear from the hole The Plague makes in walls to get around.

Strategies

Good strategies to kill creepers is to use area of effect weapons on them they are weak and are easily killed by those types of weaponry. The best seen area of effect weapon used is either the DLC Arc Welder weapon,XNG-5000, or even just the Charge launcher would work effectively.

First Seen

The Creepers are the first form of The Plague you encounter.
