AVP Alien Wepaons / Abilities

An in depth look at the Alien from Aliens vs Predator

The Alien

The Alien is fast, fast, fast. Stealthy, deadly, the perfect organism. Playing as the Alien will take some getting used to, as they are extremely quick. Wall crawling may get you dizzy, but once you get the hang of it, you will find it an extremely useful asset. The Alien comes equiped with a basic, yet effective set of bio-wepeapons; listed below. The Alien itself is a weapon, making it the most dangerous enemy to be stuck in close quarters with. If you can, lure your enemies to you and strike with fast, extreme force. You want to avoid major brawls, especially with Predators. The Alien is best used in dark, confined areas and with low-dropping ceilings. Use your speed to your advantage and outflank your enemeies before they know you’re even there.

Claws

The Claws are rutheless weapons, capable of shredding enemies to pieces. The Alien’s claws are sharp, armour piercing and FAST! You can graple enemies, slice them up, or scare them away. The claws look fierce and inflict terrible slashing, ripping force when unleashed. If you’re in the way of these hell-storms, start your prayers, cause you won’t get away. Once the Alien is within arms reach, it’s normally too late. These are your most valuable weapons as an Alien and will save you from many encounters you will face.

Tail

The Tail is extremely long, the only long ranged wepaon the Alien has aside form itself. The tail helps balance the Alien when climbing and inflicts amazing force when used. The Alien’s tail has been seen to throw enemies around like rag-dolls when they get a good shot. The tail has a long spike at the end which can pierce armour and inflict terrible damage. If the damage wasn’t enough, the striking speed is also unmatched. Look out. Use the length and speed of your tail to your advantage.

Head Bite

The Head Bite is the deadliest wepaon the ALIEN has. It is a one-shot kill, if executed correctly. The power behind this wepon may be short range, but packs a massive ammount when it comes to inflicting damage. The bite is best used for when sneaking up on enemy units, ususally from behind, liek int he films. Then, when aimed at the head of the victim, fire. As nasty as this is, it inflicts terrible force and ends any possible conflict you have have had to face head-on.

Facehugger

The Facehugger is the primary form of the Alien besides the egg and is the main source for species procreation. It is used in the “Harvest” ability the Alien holds, where you will hold your prey up, available to the Facehugger to impregnate without any risk of a struggle. The Facehugger is not particularily tough and is low armoured, therefore not a good idea to rush into battle with one. Normally, you will start as a Facehugger and you will use the shaddows and confined spaces to navigate and get close to viable hosts without giving your position away. Be sure not to attack prey out in the open as this will bring attention to you and you then risk failing your purpose and your Alien Chestburster will never get to evolve into a fully functioning Alien adult. Your species depends on you not being found, so therefore be stelthy and quick.
