How to Beat Twitchers

Shoot their Chest

Twitchers are resistant to any source of external stasis, but they have a built in stasis module on their chest.

Shooting a Twitcher's stasis module not only slows them down, but also affects the area around them with stasis.

Use the Force Gun

If you're having trouble shooting a Twitcher's stasis module, you can use the Force Gun to obliterate them in one a couple of shots.

In easier difficulties, you can one-shot a Twitcher with a Force Gun with guaranteed satisfaction.

Shoot their Legs

Given how fast Twitchers are, it is best to shoot their legs to disable their fast movement. This strategy also gives you an opening for other necromorphs in the area.
