If Xenomorph ever joined DBD, this should be its power:
- Put egg “traps” around the map.
- If a survivor gets close, a Facehugger leaps out, grabs their face (survivor screams of course), injures them, and infects them with a xenomorph embryo.
- Facehugger will then patrol the area for 30 seconds (bot AI) looking for other nearby victims before it curls up and dies.
- At the time of his choosing, the killer can teleport (Freddy style) to an infected survivor and crawl out of their belly as a new Xenomoroh. Survivor becomes inured, is Broken for 30 seconds, and has Endurance for 30 seconds.
Teleport is selected by choosing a survivor icon at the bottom of the screen, so that he doesn’t actually know where they are in the game field.
The endurance effect is given so the victim survivor has a chance at escape. The power is intended to help the killer get to other survivors when he thinks they’re grouped up.
Open to modification ideas!

I was hoping for death chest bursted style, but this works too! Also xenomorph should be able to vault faster and climb over pallets, because it can.

Also maybe incorporate the acid blood somehow.

Would be weird for someone to not die by having a Xenomorph explode out of them.

Agree, but we have take sooooome creative license for the sake game mechanics. 😉
If it makes you feel any better, his mori could involve the little interior jaw going for a head bite!

As much as I would love to see that, I don't think it would really fit into the game.
I mean, Xenomorph is probably one of the most deadly creatures you could ever think about. Unless you have a flamethrower, you are dead the moment it charges towards you. Pallet looping and stunning it just feels wrong.

Would they pop out of the chest fully formed? That’d be a little wierd don’t you think?

I dunno. In my mind, anything involving chestbursters or something similar would more likely be made comparable to the Pig's Reverse Bear Trap.

Mmmh not rrally convinced of being viable despite is good on lore wuse area.
I would copy paste Shred ability of demo.
holding M2 make an egg to spawn and make that if survivor pass by get inmovilized and enter on parasited status. While Parasited status you can see killer instinct notification (alien doesnt attack if you were parasited becuz he knew you have it) you got 1 min to remove the parasite on a surgery chamber. If you dont you get killed.
Would be a demorgorgon + The pig.
If not it would be a nice M1 killer and we dont like em huh?

Oh yes, lore was the inspiration for sure. It’s actually really hard to stay true to the lore without making this a waaaaay OP killer. As has been mentioned already, surviving a chest-burst is difficult to wrap your head around, but then so is getting a meat hook through your heart—twice. So I think we could swing this.
I definitely see the merit to your Demo-Pig idea, But I just think it’d be better to have something more unique than a re-tool of existing powers. I think recreating the Alien life-cycle would be so much fun!

Ok. I love this, but arent facehuggers supposed to die after detaching from a victim?
Would the Alien spawn fully formed or would there be like a cooldown while the Xeno matures?
Could Chestbursting down a survivor if they were already injured?

How about instead of the broken and endurance combo cancelling each other out you have an attack cooldown (15s) while the chestburster matures into a xenomorph?
You could speed up the cooldown by "eating" the old eggs then every time you teleport and transform, your new eggs have increased trigger range.
Also, would the facehugger attack you instantly or can you try to outrun it? What would be the counter play to eggs? Cleansing? Crouching?

Yes, the Facehugger dies shortly after detaching. I wanted to give it 60 seconds before dying, where it can patrol a relatively small area. This keeps the danger for groups high.
Great question and suggestion! I think there should be some ability to dodge a Facehugger leaping from the egg if you have lightning reflexes, but for the most part it’s gonna get you if you’re not expecting it.
The immature chest burst is perfect for this! It could be small enough to make survival believable - maybe coming from the right side where it doesn’t hurt your heart. And then we don’t need the endurance effect. Let’s give the baby alien some time (15 seconds?) to grow up before it can hurt people. It can still chase in that timeframe though. (Another option is that it can injure anyone right away, but can’t down survivors until matured.)

I mean, Freddy is a Dream Demon and you still pallet loop and stun him. Doesn't feel right either. But gameplay-wise makes sense.
Lore-wise, Entity will most likely weaken Xenomorph (just like Freddy), to make feeding process last longer, so it won't be able to kill that easy.
