Npc headcrab fast

Entity Description

Fast headcrab

Much faster than the average headcrab. They typically infest rotting corpses rather than human hosts, creating the terrifying fast zombies. Since the headcrabs move and attack so quickly, they can be thought of as a substitute for the notorious snark of Half-Life 1. It is best to place them in small groups to rush the player.

Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, effect flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.
