Survivors have plenty to fear with a new type of monster on the prowl in Dead by Daylight. Those on the hunt have plenty of perks, abilities, builds, and strategies to consider. During the Public Test Build of the monster, players have been test playing the killer and its design. While the design for the Xenomorph is terrifying in its own right, does the representation stand up to its movie counterpart?
Playing as the Xenomorph means having a loadout that makes the gameplay, at the very least, equivalent to how the Xenomorph would act. It’s not very well off in way of strategy, but it does have the senses and instinct of a perfected killing machine. The loadout you get to work with comes with all kinds of ways to benefit from the Xenomorph’s killer instincts. In this article, we’ll show you what you have with the Xenomorph and what you can do to make it just as intimidating as the first time you saw it.
When considering the Xenomorph’s unique abilities, the first one to come to mind that can help make gameplay easier is Runner Mode. This mode allows the Xenomorph to start running on four legs, making you faster and reducing your Terror Radius significantly. While in Runner Mode, the Xenomorph can use a Tail Attack to flick a deadly tail at (and hopefully, drag) Survivors when they are within range.

Using the tunnel system, the Xenomorph can travel across the map to find Survivors quicker. During entering and exiting these control stations, players as the Xenomorph can view a submap. This gives the player plenty of mobility as a killer, having the equipment and conveniences required to hunt down other players.
As you learn how to best navigate and play as a Xenomorph, there are some builds that you can work on to find your groove. Getting the hang of playing as a Xenomorph can be tricky with all the differences it has from the standard feel of the game. Some of the following builds may help you rumble more effectively on the corners of your players’ vision:
The perk ‘Hex: No One Escapes Death’ ensures that once exit gates are powered, the Dull Totem on the map is lit. During this perk, movement speed is increased, and every Survivor on the map has a permanent Exposed status effect. For the end game, this perk is pretty devastating. It works well with the Xenomorph’s natural build, lending itself to the quick speed and grappling attacks it already has in its arsenal.
The Sloppy Butcher causes Hemorrhage status ailments and Mangled status ailments to anyone struck by them. This is great for a Xenomorph, at least

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game where death comes easily, and developer Larian Studios is more than content to let important characters fall foul of all manner of nasty ends – sometimes even before you’ve met them. It’s handy, then, that the Baldur’s Gate 3 Speak with Dead spell is very easy to access on any playthrough, but it can be a bit of a pain to work out which of the many corpses in the massive RPG game are actually worth chatting to. Fortunately, things just got simpler with one of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 mods.
In playing around with the retro game streaming subscription service Antstream Arcade recently, a thought occurred to us.
Sayu is a 4-Star Anemo Claymore character from Genshin Impact. So far, she is the only Anemo Claymore character in the game. She is also the only 4-Star Anemo Healer on the roster.
Freminet is the newest 4-Star character to join the Genshin Impact character roster. He is a Cryo Claymore character from Fontaine and is accompanied by an adorable automaton, Pers. His Utility Passive Talent makes him excellent for underwater exploration – fitting as he’s a well-known diver.
Also known as Childe, Tartaglia was the first Fatui Harbinger introduced in Genshin Impact. Taking up somewhat permanent residency in Liyue, Tartaglia toes the line between friend and foe with the Traveler. For the most part, he tends to be a friend.
Baldur's Gate 3 is somehow still turning up juicy little surprises. Granted, I only used Speak with Dead when I had to claw info from the grave for an investigation—I rarely did it just for flavour kicks. This use of the spell in Act 3 has some wild implications only obvious to those with tabletop brainworms (like yours truly), and I'm here to pass on that existential dread to you.
If rougelikes, rougelites, or any other dungeoneering quest has taught us anything, it’s that trial by fire and trial by error are the two best ways to go about the randomly generation dungeon crawling experience. Throughout Halls of Torment, you need to pick different abilities, items, traits, and other such critical elements to the gameplay that impact your session going forward.
Lyney finally made the Mono-Pyro dream team possible. As the first 5-Star of Fontaine in Genshin Impact, Lyney does not disappoint. While his attacks are flashy, his damage is nothing to scoff at. He specializes in AoE Pyro DMG and off-field Pyro application. However, he’s a fragile character due to his constant HP loss. Also, Lyney does not do well with Elemental Reactions.
Larian Studios' Director of Publishing, Michael Douse, has taken to Twitter to comment on a recent article about weaker subscription deals hitting indie devs.
Genshin Impact Version 4.0 added a fifth Anemo sword character to the roster with Lynette. Any player at Adventure Rank 25 or above can claim a free Lynette from the event, “The Curtain Never Fall On Magic.” She’s a great addition to your Fontaine exploration team since she shows you Recovery Orb locations and increases their restorative properties (HP and Aquatic Stamina) by 25%.
People are already having fun with Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon’s mech editor, creating robots that look like everything from Grand Theft Auto’s CJ to horrific corporate marketing armed with twin gatling guns. For as amazing as AC6’s mech maker is, though, there’s one thing it can’t create: a tank strutting around on bare legs and heels. Lucky for us, then, that Custom Mech Wars is on the way.
