It's very possible for one C-4 to completely wipe out a group of them, depending on how close they are to each other. Groups of Arachnoids packed together are very vulnerable to a C-4 charge, especially if it's very close to them. The assault rifle works for quickly clearing out Arachnoids because of it's instant-hit bullets, while the rocket launcher can be used to quickly lob a rocket at each Arachnoid, killing it instantly. Groups of Arachnoids can be dispatched with the assault rifle, C-4 Demolition Charges or the rocket launcher.Melee attacks are still often doable as Hatchlings tend to appear in locations with a significant amount of cover. This puts the player at a higher risk of being hit by part of a surprise burst. Note that going for a melee kill is a little more dangerous than a double-barrel shotgun kill, as the player needs to be right next to the Hatchling in order to do it. Close range Hatchlings can be killed with either the Double Barrel Coach Gun or a one-hit kill melee attack.
The player may take some damage while the rocket is travelling to the Arachnoid, but this can be avoided by hiding behind something or briefly running away from its field of vision. One shot will gib a Hatchling, and rockets don't take long to travel to their target at medium range. Medium-range Hatchlings can be killed with the XPML21 Rocket Launcher.These weapons give the distance necessary for some of their bullets to miss, while you can hit them with very high or perfect accuracy. Long range weapons, such as the M29 Infantry Assault Rifle, work best against the Hatchling.The Hatchlings secondary weapon is their tail, which they will make use of in close-range combat and deliver a powerful sting should the target be within range. Once it has cooled down, the Hatchling will resume firing. Like the chainguns fired by the adults, the Hatchling's gun is prone to overheating after being fired for a prolonged period of time. It is extremely accurate, but is not as devastating as the chainguns used by the adults. Hatchlings are equipped with a chaingun that is provided with unlimited ammunition, so they never need to reload. Like the adults, they are sent to patrol the streets of alien-infested cities or to serve as frontal assault troops in combat and to force enemies hiding in cover and out into the open. They first appear in Gates of Hell, and are replaced by Adult Arachnoids later in the game.Īs Hatchlings are not as strong as the adults, they are often deployed in medium to large groups to compensate for their lack of physical strength and to overwhelm the enemy. In Serious Sam 4, Hatchlings are roughly as common as they are in Serious Sam 3, though they more often appear alone or in small groups with other enemies. Hatchlings are also common in Jewel of the Nile, appearing in large groups in Together Forever. Later in the game, Hatchlings appear few at a time, often to distract the player whilst they are attacking other enemies. In Serious Sam 3, they are first encountered in Under the Iron Cloud, often in small groups. Hatchlings are fairly common enemies, though they don't usually appear until the third or fourth level of the game they are in. They carry a chaingun which is extremely accurate and equipped with a techno-magical ammunition replenisher. They are not as tough as adults, as they still have undeveloped exoskeletons. Besides the extreme difference in size to the fully grown Arachnoids, they can also be distinguished by the lighter color of their exoskeleton and their thin, underdeveloped necks, which are also one of their vulnerable points. They are a late addition to Mental's forces, as the ongoing war with Earth has depleted his ranks, forcing him to rely on younger specimens to meet demand. Hatchling Arachnoids are young holy warriors of a primitive arthropod race from the planet Scorpius.
