Primarily found in The Swamp, Blood Spiders hunt down and suck the nutrition out of live prey.

They attack in groups and are more dangerous than, say, an average group of dust bandits. Blood Spiders are highly resistant to bleeding damage and recover consciousness quickly. They will try to eat an unconscious or dying character by draining their hunger.

There is also a rarer, and stronger, variant known as the Elder Blood Spider.

Damage Calculations[]

These values are for when striking a target with 0% damage resistance. Animals can have one of three qualities for their "weapon". (Moving their position in a squad, saving and then reloading can change to another quality of the weapon) The 23 in the cut calculation is from the minimum cut damage (13) combined with 10 piercing damage which Blood Spiders have.

Variant 1

Cut = 23 + 0.8774025 (Martial Arts + Dex)

Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0039) + Strength (0.0117)

Variant 2

Cut = 23 + 0.89232 (Martial Arts + Dex)

Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0052) + Strength (0.0156)

Variant 3

Cut = 23 + 0.9072375 (Martial Arts + Dex)

Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0065) + Strength (0.0195)
