Runners are the most common Xenomorph enemies in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, much like in the original game. Even if they aren't as common in other pieces of Alien media (as they're born out of quadrupedal hosts), they represent the bulk of the Xeno hive in this series, probably because of their smaller size and weaker body.
The average Xenomorph swarm will have tens – if not hundreds – of these agile killers pouring out of every vent and hole in the environment, only leaving room for small respites between long onslaughts. They're not mighty individually, but they can quickly become a problem in great numbers and/or when supported by more dangerous Xenos.
Destroying Runners isn't difficult; the challenge is to do so efficiently and before they overwhelm you. They're vulnerable to all weapons and will throw themselves against everything a full squad of Colonial Marines hits them with.
