Fun fact, its no longer called 'runner mode' because a runner xenomorph is a different alien, its called crawler mode now.

[@spinutto]

Pretty sure it's because people noticed the ''Runner Mode'' doesn't make you any faster, or give haste. So they changed to remove any misconceptions about the power.

[@mrcoolman6843]

They changed it because in the ptb people though “runner mode” was when it was running on two legs and not when it was on four legs.

Alien is the first movie i can recall.. At 4 years old, it was still the 80’s they were not so strict about kids watching horrors. Afterwards i went to bed, my stepmom helped me change into my pyjama, under the bed was my dad with a black glove. He grabbed my ankle and hissed.. I haven’t slept alone untill i was 11😂 Alien has emotional value🤦🏻‍♀️

[@vladimirkrejci8325]

Probably a hot take: The Xenomorph is just a more polished version of the Demogorgon. Both use tunnels to get around the map, both have a special attack, both are sci-fi licenced killers, both can detect survivor thanks to the tunnels. It also makes sense, since they cannot sell Demogorgon anymore.

[@TheReZisTLust]

It's just a long attack ranged Dredge

[@redeclipse6197]

Nah as a p100 Demogorgon who’s now a Xeno main. (I have to state my credentials) Xeno and Demogorgon are different enough, and their abilities have different pros/cons.Xenos probably a bit better but doesn’t just outclass Demo in every way like he’s made out to be. The Portals give stealth and you could chose where to put them allowing stealth tactics that Xeno can’t do because of pre determined spawns. Demo portals also act like a radar for everything around it which makes it also usable as a defense and tracking tool which Xeno can’t do, but Xenos tunnels have no cooldown, are always available and let you see footsteps. Shred has a longer range, and shorter cooldown than the tail but it can’t hit over objects, and isn’t constantly charged like Xenos. Also Demo can’t be taken out of his power like Xeno can. Overall they’re about equal and one isn’t outright better than the other

[@poissonsumac7922]

Oh thank heavens somebody else said it.

[@poissonsumac7922]

​@OOM-26 You'd be surprised, I've been saying this on nearly every single Xeno video and I've been raked over the coals on each of em. I can't fathom how people defend this creative bankruptcy. It's GOTTA be due to the IP.

[@redeclipse6197]

@@poissonsumac7922 They’re hardly similar at all. Their only similarities is that they both have map traversal options and a ranged m2, both of which work entirely differently from one another. The Shred and tail play entirely differently, and the portals/tunnels share no similarities except getting you quickly from one point to another.

[@chaddybear9845]

Fun fact: the xenomorph can't see where you are while in the tunnels if you're croutched (me and a friend tested this in a private match)

[@randombeing3701]

Kinda lore accurate even if that's a bit weird forgive me if I'm mistaken but I think they were stated as being blind in an alien comic so I imagine they have an enhanced sense of hearing so that's why you can see where the footsteps are while in the tunnels, similar to echolocation. obviously the killer itself can't be blind but if it's hinting toward it I find that pretty cool.

[@Madewithmematic11037]

Same reason why holding the turret prevents your footsteps from being seen, because the turret slows you down to a snail crawl for some reason

[@dovahkat9635]

​@@Madewithmematic11037 Holding the turret probably slows you down just from the sheer weight of it. I mean, it is a complex piece of machinery that would also have to have a loaded fuel tank in order to function. Also, I imagine they didn't want survivors being able to haul these around during chase and, perhaps, set one up while the Xeno is animation locked to force it out of crawler mode without any chance for counterplay.

[@gachalordnoobie4911]

You can also notice that the vents are not 1 to 1 with the map. With the underground being much smaller than the actual map. Suggesting that the underground is another sub-section that is created from medium sized areas around the entrances and connected to the exits on the surface so you do TECHNICALLY teleport.

[@sgtsnek962]

The killer power being simple and the killer being easy to pick up is not a bad thing to be honest not every killer needs to force you to use 4d Machiavellian schemes to win the match sometimes you just want to hop on and enjoy yourself ( I know enjoying yourself in DBD? Impossible)

Floods of Rage, Make Your Choice, Dark Devotion and Hysteria are a mean build with cats carrier and star map cause you can easily dip after a hook and reenter with enough time to find the unhooked while carrier let's you sneak up on them healing for an easy exposed down.

[@ScarTrek]

It's just a free bonus jumpscare

[@nestofferns]

A couple fun facts! Hitting turrets counts as a missed attack, which means if you time it right you can hit survivors *AND* a turret in the same attack. Additionally, that means that the attack cooldowns when breaking turrets is different between your m1 and m2, tail attack always has the same cooldown hit or miss and claw has the shorter “missed attack” cooldown, and as such you should always break turrets with your claw whenever possible, which just helps emergency helmet’s status as the best alien add on. Also, for survivors, you can use turrets to “body block” hooks. The killer can still break them obv, but it might buy those extra seconds needed for a boil over to break out

[@Tundraviper41]

it is pretty good but I dont really seem to get a lot of value out of it, unlike the purple keyboard, which pretty much shows survivor locations for the entire duration of the trial as they are probably working on those gens that are lit up. and imo, preventing the generator from popping is way more important than knowing where survivors know after its been popped.

Praise be the algorithm, glad to see you putting something out after what youtube pulled.

[@Bodyknock]

Blindness gets a bad rap, but when you consider that Windows of Opportunity is currently by far the most used survivor perk in the game, Blindness hard-counters that perk. Knowing that Blindness I inflict is probably negating at least 1 or 2 survivor perks per match is by itself enough for me to use perks or add-ons that can inflict it. 🙂 And I do like using Third Seal, especially on killers with special attacks (e.g. Alien's tail attack, Huntress hatchet, Victor in the Twins) since it allows those special attacks to inflict Blindness. I'll never claim Blindness is a game winning effect or anything, but I do think when you consider Windows of Opportunity being as common as it is it makes Blindness kind of attractive to me.

[@Gaiacrusher9fan2]

Monitor & Abuse is definitely great on Xenomorph. I've yet to consider Ultimate Weapon in a build, but I've done well with Nowhere To Hide nonetheless. Plus Xenomorph has managed to make me start to love Eruption. My fourth slot? Depends on my mood or killer challenge.

I will die on the hill that rapid brutality is the best perk in the game for xeno. It perfectly combos with the extra MS from crawler mode and the fact that you can catch up for a tail attack 85% of the time within 5-10 seconds bc you don’t need to ready the tail like nemi or phead.

As Xenomorph, I do not care at all about turrets. They don't exist to me. I still eliminate all 4. I eliminated the whole squad 5 times in a row, b4 1 surivived in my 6th match, and all survived my 7th, but then 8th again, I eliminated all 4. I let the turrets burn me. I just don't care they are there. Like the Xeno in Alien Isolation, not caring, that you're burning him with a flamethrower and still kills you. I bring the reality of Alien Isolation into DBD.

[@ultimatelifeformSTH]
