Asw boomer.png

asw_boomer is a point entity present in Asw.pngAlien Swarm. Boomers are hardy aliens that approach enemies and "detonate" themselves, releasing many acid bomblets. Even without using their suicide range attack, they're still a threat up close with their 3 pointed legs.

Tip: A small yellow line shows the direction a boomer is facing inside Hammer.
