How to beat the Spitter

• Close the gap or out-range them with a rifle: they back off when you get close.
• Their attacks are toxic, so the Hazard Suit, toxic resistance parts and the Hardened skill blunt them.
• Shock is their weakness; fire does little.

Health and damage by map

Enemies get tougher on harder maps, deeper into each map, and with more players in the squad (see co-op). In the first area of each map:

An elite Spitter (gold ring, from 2 players up) has 1.8× the health and 1.25× the damage, and pays 2.5× the XP and 2× the gold.

Elements

Takes 50% extra damage from Shock. Takes 50% less from Fire.

Where it appears

In Survival and Defend it joins the waves from wave 2 (sooner with a bigger squad).

Loot

Each kill pays 6 XP (more on harder maps) to every player and drops 1–3 gold per map tier, shared by the squad. It drops a mod crate 1.5% of the time, a gun case 0.75% and an armour plate 0.38%.
