Aliens

• Drone - The most common enemy you will find in the game. Weak on their own, they usually attack in large numbers. Drones can also leap across gaps, sometimes past defenses.
• Ranger - Starting from Deima Surface Bridge, you will encounter these acid-firing aliens. They will fire three acid pellets at the direction of a marine, which can be rolled under.
• Shield - Starting from Deima Surface Bridge, you will sometimes encounter these massive aliens. They are powerful close-range attackers with a large shield in the front (its front legs) that can often block attacks.
• Buzzer - Starting from Rydberg Reactor, you will find these small, agile aliens. They do little damage, but can fly and mess up a player's camera when attacked.
• Boomer - Starting from Rydberg Reactor, you will find these large tripedal aliens. They do not attack directly, instead inflating when they see a marine. Destroying an inflated boomer will cause explosive bombs to shoot out of its body.
• Parasite - Starting from SynTek Residental, you will encounter the parasite. They are weak, but fast, and will infest marines that they manage to jump on. They can be the most powerful enemies in the game, as countering infestation requires much healing (or the use of a electric charage armor). They are often found inside swarm eggs.
• Grub - Harmless little aliens that are found around swarm eggs. Bullets do no damage, but they can be stomped.
• Mortar - Found in Sewer Junction B5 and Timor Station, the Mortar bug is a large enemy that shoots three acid bombs (similar to the Boomer) at marines at a time.
