All Enemy Types In Aliens Dark Descent

The Aliens Dark Descent enemy types require you to be skillful while dealing with them. It would help if you discovered new paths as you pave the continuous world and find shortcuts to safe zones. Moreover, use motion trackers to monitor their movement to stay ahead as Xenomoprhs adjust accordingly to the player’s habits. According to the latest update on the official website, here are all the enemy types featured in Aliens Dark Descent 

Facehuggers

These are small and fragile, but their deadliness cannot be overlooked. They are easiest to defeat but can perform instant kills by jumping swiftly at your face. According to the bio, they evolve as baby eggs that come to life as facehuggers upon finding a suitable host. They will come across like a mine as you come near the egg. The facehuggers are unique Aliens Dark Descent enemy type, a spider look-a-like form of Xenomorph.

Guardians

Guardians are new enemies to be included in the lineup. These are very creepy humans who worship Xenomorphs. They are a new enemy type and an elite in the Darwin Era. Also, Guardians undergo a device implantation known as Marlow, as visible from the trailer. These creepy creatures are the ones you should be looking forward to in Aliens Dark Descent. 

Praetorians

They are huge and more challenging than most Xenomorphs and appear once a Hive is near completion. Hives were not developed in the movies, so they were not to be seen. Their main objective is to protect the Queen and can be identified by their broad head crest. Furthermore, they undergo a specific process to get very hard skin.

Queen

The Queen is the final boss, which you will probably encounter. Every Hive is led to her as she lies within it. It is the most clever and largest form of Xenomorph.

Runner

It differs from human-spawned Xenomorphs as it roots its physicality in four-legged animals. It moves around very fast, but at the same time, Runners are less resilient as they have low HP.

Synthetic

These brilliant creatures attack whenever you go to a restricted area or breach specific protocols. Their aggressive behavior is indicated when their eyes turn red. Moreover, they are incorporated with AI and have hairless rubber skin.

Warrior

These are the most lethal of all the Alien Dark Descent Enemy Types. Moreover, Warriors have ridged skulls which makes them look more frightening. Droners and Warriors are often compared, but warriors outweigh them as they are more dangerous.
