It is only wasting your ammo, time, and energy. Because of the fact that the vital organs that were once in the torso and chest area of most Necromorphs made from human corpses have been mostly replaced by muscle by the Necromorph contagion, attacking the chest and torso areas do very little to stop them. The only effective way to "kill" a Necromorph is to shoot or cut enough of its limbs off to disable it (arms and legs). Injuries that would kill an ordinary being, particularly the attack on necromorphs of where the vital organs of the host organism would be, have little effect on them, and conventional methods of attack require tremendous skill to kill or even damage them.Ĭountless people have died due to not knowing the Necromorphs' only vulnerability: cutting their limbs off. The sole purpose of almost all Necromorphs is to create more bodies to spread the infection, while the role of one particular creature, the infector, is to specifically infect non-necromorphs to make more of themselves. These creatures are extremely aggressive, and will attack any non-necromorph on sight. The Necromorphs are the reanimated bodies of the dead, revived and reshaped into horrific new forms by recombinant extraterrestrial genes.
