The Spiker mutant is one of the mutants in Miscreated.
Basic Info[]
Behavior[]
The Spiker mutant is commonly found wandering in any of the locations around Orca Island.
The Spiker mutant has a relatively small aggravation range, and will attack any players that wander too close and/or into its line of sight. Like all other mutants, the Spiker mutant is attracted to gunfire, explosions, whistles, movement noise, and VoIP transmissions.
When provoked, a Spiker mutant will continue to attack until it perishes, or kills its target. The Spiker mutant will not follow its target indefinitely - it will stop attacking and return to its roaming once its target is out of its follow range.
Appearance[]
As with the Crazy mutant, the Spiker mutant retains much of its human features - with the exception of a large spike that has mutated and replaced its right forearm, hence giving the mutant its name.
Loot[]
Spiker mutants have an inventory and drop various loot, such as consumables, clothing, and various equipment.
Combat[]
General[]
In combat, the Spiker mutant charges towards its enemies and attacks with physical blows, using its spiked arm as a melee weapon. Every hit it lands does 10% of damage to health, with a chance of causing bleeding to its target.
Strategy[]
- When attacking with any weapon, always aim for the Spiker mutant's head for maximum damage
- The Spiker mutant can be killed with a single headshot from most ranged weapons
- To avoid being cornered, lure the Spiker mutant into open areas. This also allows for more tactical options, such as maneuvering space or retreats
Dangers[]
- A provoked Spiker mutant may alert nearby mutants to the player's position
- If the Spiker mutant can see but not reach a player, they may throw rocks at the latter, doing damage and increasing torpidity
Weakness[]
- The Spiker mutant's top speed is slightly lower than that of a player on foot - they are not able to keep pace with a player at full sprint
- Unlike players, mutants cannot jump or climb over obstacles
- Spiker mutants may be distracted by wildlife and lose focus on their original target
