Flying Crab Hatcher

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Flying Crab Hatchers are nest-like objects often found near rivers, cliff edges, Resource Nodes, Power Slugs and Crash Sites. They periodically spawn Flying Crabs when aggroed.

Behavior

When approached by a pioneer for the first time or shot from a distance, the Flying Crab Hatcher will spawn 3 Flying Crabs. Afterwards, it will periodically spawn 1 or 2 Flying Crabs every 5 seconds or each time it is shot, until the Hatcher is destroyed or all pioneers get away from it. Spawned Flying Crabs die when they hit a pioneer or a vehicle, or after 60 seconds. The Flying Crab Hatcher does not respawn.

Flying Crab aggro sphere radius is 60 Meters.

Tips

  • Parking a vehicle over a Hatcher will cause spawned Flying Crabs to die upon touching the vehicle.
  • If a Hatcher is alone and both  Blade Runners and  Xeno-Basher are equipped, bunny hopping (sprint, crouch then jump followed by another crouch) to its melee range then quickly bash 3 times will kill it before any Crabs can spawn, due to the spawning action taking around 5 seconds.
  • Avoid aggroing more than one Hatcher at a time. Either destroy them from a distance with a  Rebar Gun or  Rifle, or carefully trigger the Hatchers one by one by approaching them slowly.
  • It is possible to stay much closer to a Hatcher by hiding behind foliage (trees, shrubs, etc.).
  • As Flying Crabs only have 1 HP, the  Boom Box is an effective weapon against them, as it deals AOE damage.
An aggroed Hatcher will continue spawning Flying Crabs until it's destroyed.
