Crawlers

Crawlers are one of several different types of enemies in Infested Planet.
__TOC__
== Description ==
Crawlers exclusively manifest within the Hunt campaign missions and the Ironman weekly challenge, requiring the Trickster's Arsenal DLC. These entities emerge following the destruction of a hive and at fixed intervals. Their objective involves traversing enemy territory to a randomly designated location, subsequently transitioning into a hive.
Crawlers exhibit the ability to generate Barriers as they progress, which notably mitigate rear-directed damage.
== Countering ==
Countermeasures against crawlers primarily entail positioning oneself ahead of their trajectory due to the defensive nature of the Barriers. A tactical approach involves observing the crawler's trajectory and executing a Teleport Jump maneuver to position the player's squad ahead of the target. Alternatively, utilizing a Stasis Field temporarily immobilizes the crawler, allowing marines to relocate in its path.
Efficient deployment of rockets, while targeting the frontal aspect, proves effective in countering crawlers. A group of five riflemen strategically employing rockets can neutralize a crawler provided the frontal angle is adhered to. Additionally, snipers emerge as proficient adversaries against crawlers, emphasizing the importance of frontal targeting for optimal results.
