How to Beat Pregnants

Casting Stasis

Cast stasis on Pregnants to slow their approach, and give you a clear shot on their weak spots.

Target Their Limbs

When aiming at a Pregnant's limbs, make sure to shoot their legs first, followed by their arms.

This strategy slows the pregnant down, allowing you to deal with other enemies in the area.

Never Shoot the Stomach

The Pregnant's stomach store Swarmers. When a Pregnant's stomach is shot and ruptured, it releases the Swarmers creating a secondary threat you would not want to deal with specially when facing a horde.

Pregnant Variants

Difference with Standard Variant

In appearance, Super-Pregnants have mud-textured skin and a green glow in their eyes and stomachs. However, it is noticeable in combat that they are far more durable and faster than their standard variants.

Rather than Swarmers, what comes out of a Super-Pregnant's stomach is either a Lurker or Super-Lurker.

They are also capable of self-destructing when near Isaac which deals a moderate ammount of damage, but is dangerous when encountered in groups.

Death by Pregnants

Isaac Gets Dismembered

If a Pregnant hits Isaac while on low health, it will dismember him similar to other necromorphs that hit him when on low health.
