StarRupture‘s early access build has plenty of bugs in Arcadia-7, and I am not talking about software glitches.
You’re not alone on the alien planet, and different bugs will aim to make your life miserable. They will attack your base, and you’ll also find them when traveling from one point to another. Thankfully, every type of bug you encounter has specific weaknesses that you can exploit.
How to defeat all enemies in StarRupture
While all enemies available currently in StarRupture are bugs, they come in different shapes and sizes. Most of them will appear in swarms, making it harder for you to take them down. They not only differ in their sizes, but most of them have separate movement speeds and attack.
| Bug types | How to defeat them |
|---|---|
| Flinger | These are one of the nastiest bug types as they can attack you from a distance. You’ll first need to keep track of the source of the blob that they shoot at you. Dodge the blob, and close the distance as much as you can. They’re really squishy, and a few bullets will usually take care of them. Try to have a steady aim since they move a lot. |
| Jumpers | Jumpers are aggressive bugs that resemble larger black-widows. They move rapidly and jump at you from a distance. An effective method is to dodge the jumps as much as you can. Their mouth is their weak spot, but it can be tough to aim when you also have to dodge the attacks. |
| Smaller Jumpers | Similar to Jumpers but younger in age. They are smaller in size and have a grey trim around their bodies. You can shoot them as they’re easy to take down. |
| Bombers | These blue bugs have growing sacs that ultimately explode to deal plenty of damage. The explosion also stops your shields from working. The first task is to stay away from the range of the explosion. If that’s not possible, move out of the explosion’s immediate radius. To take down the bugs, shoot the sac, but also maintain distance. |
| Throwers | Like Bombers, Throwers also have sacs, but green in color. Instead of exploding, the sacs grow, and the bug will spit the green matter on you. Be on the move to avoid the attack, and keep shooting at the sac. |
The exact in-game names for these bugs might be different, but I have yet to find out. I have named them based on how they behave (and their attacks work). There’s the Goliath as well, which is a massive beast. I have mostly avoided this large bug, but a dedicated guide is in the works.
