    The Broodmother can spit tentacles to drag you in.

    Use weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to quickly dispatch smaller spiders and the Broodmother.
  5. 5
    If the Broodmother grabs you, focus all your fire on it.
  6. 6
    Avoid using throwable explosives like Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives as the Broodmother moves frequently. If used, ensure it stays within the explosion radius.

    Upon defeating the Broodmother, you will earn the "That’s a hell of a spider" achievement.
