Warhammer Survivors Is Out Now on XBOX Game Pass: How to Handle the Gloomspite Gitz

Reading the Gloomspite Gitz

The Gloomspite Gitz are cave-dwelling grots who worship the ‘Bad Moon’ and expect it to bring the Everdank, an era of perpetual twilight. Their different enemy types use distinct attacks and movement patterns, making knowledge of the faction essential to survival. Moonclan Stabbas form the swarming foot soldiers, attacking everything in their path and trying to overwhelm players with sheer numbers rather than posing the greatest individual threat.

Surviving the Squigalanche

Squig Hoppers bounce unpredictably across the battlefield, and a nearby Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig boosts their attack damage while adding more erratic movement. Boinggrot Bounders are veteran Squig-riders armed with lances who charge toward the player with precision, making them a different kind of positional danger.

At the front of the stampede are two chained Mangler Squigs. Their teeth and the chain can both hurt the player, so avoiding the pair means watching the space between them as well as their path. Mangler Squigs always arrive in pairs; once one dies, the survivor becomes frenzied and deadlier.

Troggoths and the king

Rockgut Troggoths lumber toward the player, but their toughness and regeneration make them difficult to defeat even when they are moving slowly. The recommended tactic is to acquire Maleneth’s Poisoned Daggers and reduce the Troggoth’s health from a distance.

Trugg the Troggoth King raises the stakes with an Ironshell Club that produces wide, telegraphed impact zones and can send a hit Survivor flying. His arcane keystone also releases elemental projectiles that can cause burning, poisoning or bleeding. Because Trugg is an Extremis-level threat that no Survivor or weapon can simply overpower, players will need to find his weakness.
