Hazards

What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 12
Heavy carnivoresGrabs and pinsArmour damageTorporSwarmsHeat
  • Carnotaurus — Fast mid-size carnivore that closes distance quickly.
  • Ravager — Pack hunter that also uses zip lines, so it follows you along them.
  • Aberrant Raptor — Pounces and pins a survivor on foot, and comes in packs.
  • Tek Raptor — A Raptor with more health and damage; pounces and pins.
  • Aberrant Arthropluera — Its ranged acid attack damages armour directly, and destroyed pieces cannot be repaired.
    Hide rather than Flak, with Fiber and Hide to repair. Kill it at range.
  • Arthropluera — Its ranged acid attack damages armour directly — primitive Flak breaks in one or two hits — and armour damage cannot be repaired if the piece is destroyed.
    Wear Hide rather than Flak and carry Fiber and Hide to repair. Kill it at range; it out-damages armour faster than you out-heal it.
  • Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius — Torpor per hit, higher than almost anything its size, and it is fast.
    Bug Repellant, and Stimulant for the hits that land anyway.
  • Araneo — Webs you in place from range, which stops you kiting and stops a mount fleeing. Its bite applies torpor.
    Kill it at range before it closes. Bug Repellant makes it ignore you entirely.
  • Pulmonoscorpius — Torpor per hit, higher than almost anything else its size, and it is fast.
    Bug Repellant, and Stimulant for when it lands hits anyway.
  • Titanoboa — Applies heavy torpor per bite and is quiet enough to reach you before you see it.
    Stimberries or Stimulant on your hotbar. Two bites will drop an unprepared survivor.
  • Aberrant Meganeura — As Meganeura — a swarm that interrupts rather than kills.
    Bug Repellant.
  • Onyc — Attacks in numbers, drains stamina, and is small enough that most mounts cannot hit it.
    A shotgun, or a pike on foot. They path erratically, so aimed single shots waste ammunition.
Not a threat: Dung Beetle, Glowtail
