Divider Overview

Divider Dividers are tall humanoid necromorphs. They’re not as fast as Pregnant necromorphs, and they don’t have sharp bladelike arms like Slashers, but they are still difficult to contend with. When the Dividers approach, they’ll thrash you about. Once destroyed, they divide into small spiderlike creatures that can swarm you quickly.

How to Beat Dividers

Use the Force Gun

To kill a Divider you must first rid it of its humanoid form.

The fastest way to do this is using the Force Gun; a couple blasts will cause the Divider to divide into its creepers making it vulnerable.

Dealing with Creepers

Although a divider is slow in its humanoid form, its divided pieces move are fast enough to swarm around you.

To deal with creepers, use the Force Gun's alternate fire followed by the Pulse Rifle's alternate fire. This strategy deals with all creepers at once.
