Developer comments[]

Concept was calling for something that was bit more scorpion like that emitted small insects from its orifices to attack the players. I tried to lean in real hard to the Trypophobia aspect of the design, sorry in advance!

Journal entry[]

A journal entry about the Sentinel family has been shared on December 12th, 2022.[1]
Although the official Back 4 Blood 𝕏 account named Holly Forrester as the author of the journal, the initials "H. P." do not match Holly's initials "H. F.". It can be assumed that this information is incorrect because, moreover, even her handwriting does not match her own journal. There is an entry in this journal regarding the Swarmers:

Swarmer

— Expels a swarm to chase down targts
— Same swarms as Breakers??
(Need a larval sample to verify)
YUCK, those holes make my skin crawl! H. P. about the Swarmer
