You can crawl through vents faster than anyone is going to react to your presence, so don't be afraid to scout out as many locations as you can to figure out the best place to hide. If it's dark, that's even better, since someone who comes inside may not see you unless they get close.

Note that you will be gibbed when the larva comes out, so there's very little hope for you after that. Hydroponics cloning is also a viable method. Either ripping out the larva through Surgery, or having you scanned and ready to clone when you eventually explode. There are a couple of way to deal with this. Using a Health Analyzer will show an Unidentified Foreign Body if you are infected. These symptoms mean you are forming a larva. If you've been infected, there will usually be telltale signs. There is at least a small chance that you will not become the host to an alien Larva.

Some helmets/masks will prevent facehuggers from latching onto your face, such as Bio Hoods.īeing facehugged is not a guarantee of infestation. If the facehugger is taken off in the first few seconds, the person is usually not affected. If a facehugger jumps onto, or is thrown onto someones face, it usually rips off the mask (if they have one) and attempts to infect the person it's on. Playing as aliens and against aliens takes some finesse, so make sure to read it all. This guide is fairly comprehensive and long. The third way is for a miner to find a facehugger on the mining asteroid, get facehugged/get somebody else facehugged, and bring the resulting larva to the station. This is most often the case and is usually an event on the server barely ever happens. This can either be as a forced random event that is exactly like the CentCom alert, or by just spawning some facehuggers and/or eggs somewhere on the station. The second way is for admins to spawn them.

This almost never happens, as aliens are turned off by default for random events. They can pop up almost anywhere, even right next to you. This means that in a very few random places around the station, facehuggers and eggs have been seeded. The first way is for the random event where CentCom broadcasts that an Unidentified Lifesign has been detected aboard the station. Aliens arrive on the station in one of three ways.
