Hydras are spike turrets that a Gorge places from its build menu. They are free, but each gorge can only have 3 at a time and they must be placed on infestation.
- Shoots spikes (15 normal damage) at marines within 17.78 m, with more spread at long range.
- Health 125 (+16 per biomass), maturing to 160 over 140 s.
- Hydras alert the alien team when they spot marines.
- Hydras are flammable and are an easy target for grenades.
- Building a hydra gives no construction score (see Scoring).
Tips#
- Hide hydras around corners so marines walk into them, not snipe them from a doorway.
- Hydras + webs + clogs in a doorway make a strong choke.
