Description
This Mire-infused monster represents one of Dr. Moorcroft's major achievements: the first self-replicating zed. Significantly larger than her fellow crawlers, the Queen can lay hatchlings at a prodigious pace. But perhaps most daunting is her ability to create Mire points for short-range teleportation.

How to Beat Queen Crawler

Queen Crawler Tips

◆ Destroy web traps and eggs by damaging them.
◆ In the final phase, avoid Mire portals she attacks from.
◆ Executes downed players.

Hit the Glowing Spots

Queen Crawler Weakpoints

Mouth

Hind

Phase 2 Hind

The Queen Crawler's weak points are the multiple glowing spots located in its hind, and another inside its mouth. Focus on attacking these points to deal higher damage to Queen Crawler, especially when Zed Time is active.

During the final phase, the hind disappears, lessening the weak points available to shoot. In its place is a singular glowing spot located directly behind the Queen Crawler.

Zed Time Guide

Use Heat Damage If Available

If available, focus on using Heat Damage with weapons like the Incinerator M7 or guns modded with Incendiary Rounds or Shells.

How to Deal Heat Damage

Shoot Web Traps and Eggs

Shoot Web Traps and Eggs

Queen Crawler will spew eggs and web traps, spawning Crawler Larvae when left alone. Destroy these when they appear to lessen the pressure and clean up the battlefield.

Avoid the Mire Portals in Phase 2

Queen Crawler Mire Portals

Queen Crawler enters her final phase upon reaching half health. During this phase, Queen Crawler starts creating Mire portals that they can use for travel and spawning more Larvae.

Watch your footing and avoid these portals as the Queen Crawler may appear from them, dealing high damage to allies upon emerging.

Maintain Distance and Remain Mobile

As a general tip, it is recommended to maintain a distance from the Queen Crawler at all times and remain mobile throughout the fight. Utilize ziplines within the vicinity or sliding for positioning.

When the boss is targeting an ally, they tend to perform quick lunges that may be hard to avoid at close range, or jump attacks that deal AoE damage upon landing. Parry the lunges if possible, or focus on finding a better position first before shooting to avoid being downed.
