Facehuggers
Facehuggers are the embodiment of the second phase of the Xenomorph's life cycle. This page is part of the Aliens: Dark Descent enemies guide and provides everything you need to know about Facehuggers and how to defeat them.
As the name implies, Facehuggers will do anything to give you a big ol' hug to your face and use you as their incubator for a baby Xenomorph's birth. Once a Facehugger latches to your face, it will stay permanently attached until the incubation process is finished. Once done, it will crumple to the floor and die.
An attempt to remove the Facehugger will be impossible, as it will constrict the victim in an effort to stay in its position. If continuous attempts are made to remove it, the constriction's force will eventually break the victim's head.
How to Defeat the Facehuggers
The Facehuggers' overall health is relatively low, however, they are quite fast, and their presence must be considered a priority. When a Facehugger is about to attack, an exclamation mark will pop up on them. Kill it before it gets to any of your Marines, because if it does, your Marine will be considered dead.
However, the Xenotech Extraction Device will allow you to save your Marine by getting rid of the implanted embryo. The Extraction Device can be found in the Dead Hills Location.
