All StarRupture bugs and how to kill them

StarRupture‘s early access build has plenty of bugs in Arcadia-7, and I am not talking about software glitches.

You’re not alone on the alien planet, as various bugs will aim to make your life miserable. They will attack your base, and you’ll also find them when traveling from one point to another. Thankfully, every type of bug you encounter has specific weaknesses that you can exploit.

How to defeat all enemies in StarRupture

While all enemies currently available in StarRupture are bugs of some kind, they come in different shapes and sizes and require different approaches to handle. Most of them will appear in swarms, making it harder for you to take them down. All species come in different sizes, and most of them have separate movement speeds and attack patterns.

Flinger

These are one of the nastiest bug types as they can attack you from a distance. You’ll first need to keep track of the source of the blob that they shoot at you. Dodge the blob, and close the distance as much as you can.

They’re really squishy, and a few bullets will usually take care of them. Try to have a steady aim since they move a lot. Once you’re close, Flingers are pretty easy to take down. They’re more dangerous when they appear in swarms.

Slashers

Slashers are aggressive bugs that resemble larger black-widows. They move rapidly and jump at you from a distance. An effective method is to dodge the jumps as much as you can.

Their mouth is their weak spot, but it can be tough to aim when you also have to dodge the attacks. If they latch onto you, they will deal plenty of damage. Hence, maintaining distance is paramount. Thankfully, their outer armors aren’t the best.

Younger Slashers

Similar to Slashers but younger in age. They are smaller in size and have a grey trim around their bodies. You can shoot them as they’re easy to take down.

Exploder

These blue bugs have growing sacs that ultimately explode to deal plenty of damage. The explosion also stops your shields from working. You can guess when they’re about to attack, as their sac will start glowing.

The first task is to stay away from the range of the explosion. If that’s not possible, move out of the explosion’s immediate radius. To take down the bugs, shoot the sac, but also maintain distance.

Spitter

Like Exploders, Spitters also have sacs, but green in color. Instead of exploding, the sacs grow, and the bug will spit the green matter on you. Be on the move to avoid the attack, and keep shooting at the sac.

Additionally, you can also come across the Goliath, which is the hardest enemy. A separate guide for it is in work. You can find it in areas with rare loot, like the Redleaf keycard spawn locations.

Hytale is about to go live on early access, and you can play the game if you’re on a PC.

The upcoming game was on the chopping block last year when Riot Games canceled the project. Since then, things have improved for the better as Hypixel founder Simon Collins-Laflamme managed to secure the publishing rights.

While the early access isn’t available for free, joining it is pretty simple.

How to join Hytale early access

Hytale‘s early access version won’t be available on Steam. While the game could appear on Steam in the future, that’s not going to happen anytime soon. If you want to start playing the early access on Jan. 13, your only option is the game’s official website.

There are three different editions available for purchase. All three editions guarantee you instant access to the game, along with a bunch of goodies. But that’s pretty much all you need to do. Go to the website, select your edition, confirm your purchase, and you’re good to go.

Hytale’s early access release date

Hytale is releasing worldwide on Jan. 13 (in early access). It’s only going to be available on PC, and you can only get your copy from the website. As of writing, there’s no confirmation about when we will be able to buy it on Steam (if it appears over there at all).

The main reason, perhaps, has to do with the possible state of the early access version. The official website already has a disclaimer about potential bugs and glitches. If Hytale does arrive on Steam, I believe it will only happen after the game exits early access state in the future.
