Spitters are another returning Xenomorph variant in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. These enemies are the only Xenos with ranged attack capabilities, and you shouldn't underestimate them.
As you venture deeper into the hive, Spitters become more and more common. In most missions, they'll be the most abundant Xenomorphs along with Runners. The reasoning is simple: They're the only alien variant that can put ranged pressure on Colonial Marine squads when Combat Synthetics aren't in the mix too.
Spitters might attack alone or in small groups, but always stay back and bombard Marines with acid spit that deals damage on impact and over a few seconds. They're vulnerable to all weapons, but also leave larger pools of acidic blood when killed, so make sure to stay back when you down them.
