Licker β

The exposed brain. Once it's down, a Stab with the Knife kills it in one hit. Shotgun, magnum, Hand Grenades and Acid Rounds for groups.

A Progenitor Virus refinement of the Licker: nearly blind, hunting by hearing and smell, and clinging to walls and ceilings. Its pounce pins you and tears your throat: instant death, with a single counter prompt; miss it and your partner has to save you.

• Stealth: walk, holster your weapon and don't kick doors open: they won't notice you.
• One or two: handgun to the brain → it coils back and shows the weak spot → shoot it → it falls and sometimes stays down → Stab.
• Hordes: grenades, shotgun, magnum or Acid Rounds. Shoot them while they are still on the walls. In 5-3, Proximity Bombs while you push the container.

Lion Heart (₦2,500) at random. IGN: killing them usually returns more ammo than you spend.

Attacks: tongue impale (QTE), quick slash (light), wind-up heavy claw (moderate), pounce (death) and a lunging swipe (light). The Heart Stopper award ("defeat a certain enemy by stabbing it in the heart") is most likely this Stab: no other enemy has one. In 5-1 a door you must kick open wakes the ones in the glass tanks, and how many come while you wait for the elevator depends on difficulty. The 5-2 Passage is a good farm: kill them all (up to 5 Lion Hearts), save and quit without leaving the room, continue and repeat (a GamesRadar reader tip claims about ₦100,000 in 20 minutes). Figurine: 5 BSAA Emblems and Chapter 5 cleared.
