Spitter
General#
The Spitter is the only class that can turn a survivor without ever touching them. Its acid does not infect: it pours radiation into anyone standing in it, and radiation at 100 turns you all the same.

Ability: Acid Spit#
Costs 60 power, 3 second cooldown.
Throws a glob of acid that forms a pool where it lands. The pool spreads outward in three steps up to a 3 block radius and lingers for about 15 seconds.
Anyone standing in it takes:
- +2 radiation per pulse
- 1 damage twice a second
- Blindness for 5 seconds
Playing It#
Acid is a tool for taking space, not for killing. Put it where survivors have to be rather than where they are: in the doorway they are defending, on the loot chest they want, at the bottom of the stairs they need.
Against a group holding a small room, a pool that spreads to cover the whole floor is often worth more than any amount of melee pressure. Blindness alone can break a defensive line.
The Gas Mask blocks the acid entirely, so a survivor wearing one can walk straight through the pool. Watch for the golden helmet before spending 60 power.
