Spawn Behavior

Nova-6 Crawlers typically start spawning once a certain area in a map has been accessed and will continue to spawn within the normal rounds in smaller numbers than zombies from that point on.

Combat Strategy

Nova-6 Crawlers cannot damage players from range and move slowly; therefore, the best way to kill these creepy crawlers is by keeping your distance and aiming for the head. Upon death, they will release the Nova 6 gas around the death location unless killed by a melee attack, trap, wonder weapon, or explosives.
