Revision 5

Minecrawlers are carapace-armoured insect predators that infest the Colony's mines. Alkimia Interactive has publicly shown a redesigned Minecrawler for the remake, and later released a "Minecrawler Queen Concept Animation" that confirms the queen is returning in remake form.

Where They Live

• Inside the Old Mine and the other mining complexes the camps dispute over.

• Hidden nests below ground level. The carapace makes them hard to spot in low light before they strike.

The Queen

The Minecrawler Queen is a far larger, more dangerous version of the standard Minecrawler. Alkimia's concept animation shows the queen in motion rather than as a static asset, which implies a dedicated encounter rather than reskinned standard Minecrawler animations. Specific stats, loot, and location pins for the remake have not been published before launch.

Combat

• Hard carapace. Minecrawlers take reduced damage until the player lands hits on softer angles or uses the remake's finisher animations to crack their armour.

• Swarm fighters. They spawn in small groups inside enclosed spaces, which limits the Hero's movement options.

• Torch relevance. The Flaming Torch is a useful tool for navigating crawler-infested sections of mine where the Hero would otherwise be fighting blind.
