A Chaos Spawn is a mindless mutant creature that was once a human but due to devoted servitude of Chaos they devolved into a insane and twisted abomination.

In-Game[]

The chaos spawn will be a random encounter that may burst out of a nearby wall or appear from around a corner. It can move fast and will periodically leap towards players.

The Chaos Spawn will always attempt to get into melee with players. It has a 3-hit combo that will break guards after the first hit, meaning you'll always take a hit if you don't also dodge the attacks. Every so often, it will also attempt to grab a player, which will leave them unable to act while the spawn bites into them, causing them continuous Corruption damage while the Spawn heals itself. A Veteran: Sharpshooter grenade, Ogryn: Skullcrusher Bull Charge, weak spot damage, and other sources of stagger will cause the Spawn to drop its held player.

Strategies[]

The Spawn will beeline for one player in particular, attempting to beat on them and then grab them. Being next to a player that is the target will also cause you damage as its attacks have a wide spread. It will eventually lose interest if it is unable to hit its original target and will then re-target to a different player.

Like other bosses, avoid fighting the Spawn nearby ledges or on bridges. They can very easily melee players off of ledges, leading to an insta-kill.
