Discussion AAAAASSSSSSSSSS

I was making a run for the achievement from completing the game without dying and I got near the end of the game when a facehugger I had never encountered before came out of nowhere and ruined all those hours of gameplay

I've seen people try to toss a flare with the alien charging at them full steam. Might as well use a bullet or 'nade your self for all the good that does :P

SO the minigame comment tells me you were.... in Mission 17 using the generator? You just got a jump scare from the alien and pulled two handles and now it's power on via generator.

Somehow you didn't trigger the facehugger when you got the keycard which I believe is possible, but I've never seen it. Most people shoot it.

The facehugger spawns in the boxes in the room via a triggerpoint which sadly encompasses the generator.

There are no other facehuggers near minigames.
So if this is not the right part of the game I'm confused where you were.

I was in the reactor. Only thing I can think of is maybe I overlooked an egg or something idk. I'm usually really thorough with that though.

So the alien nest then. That's part of the reactor core missions.

The nest has 3 scripted, free-roam facehuggers and the rest are all from eggs which have a proximity agro range. They can be nasty buggers by spawning and making noise after you've passed out of hearing range. Once locked on they tend to follow you if your back it so them.

That's probably what happened then. I must've gotten close without realizing
