Rimworld Fleshbeasts Explained: Tips & Tactics

Learn all you need to know about Rimworld's Fleshbeasts, a set of weak entities from the Anomaly DLC that can quickly overwhelm you with sheer numbers. #rimworld #rimworldanomaly #petecomplete

With the Rimworld Anomaly DLC, we see a psychological horror theme added to Rimworld in what is arguably the most unique of the Rimworld expansions. A strange monolith is found on the map and things can soon devolve as horrifying entities appear and threaten the colony in ways never experienced before. In addition, Rimworld Anomaly also adds ways to contain these entities, dark new psychic rituals and a new ending to Rimworld.

Rimworld is a Sci-Fi colony builder simulation game focused on managing a small group of survivors with the goal of eventually building a space ship to escape the planet. Rimworld is developed and published by Ludeon Studios. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the game went through several Alpha and Beta versions before seeing the release of the Rimworld 1.0 version in October 2018. This playthrough uses Rimworld 1.5, the latest update to the game.

Fleshbeasts - the definition of cannon fodder enemy.
Individual beasts are weak, but it is their numbers that kill you.
Fighting against them hinges on couple of details - they are the bane of ranged pawns with zero melee capabilities - elbow blades, knee spikes, talons all make short work of them and turn them into non-issue as long as you have at least semi-decent armour.

As for target priority - I'd advise you take the big ones first - make them swarm BEFORE they reach your lines - precisely because they split happen in "busrsts", meaning they can and WILL land on your vulnerable backline otherwise.

One of my favrite part about this DLC is the moving limbs on the flesh besst, i cant wait to see what modders do with it.

These vids are so refreshing to watch after scrolling past the absolute crap most shorts are.

And I don't even play Rimworld

Man that last flame shot though. Friendly flambe

Something I did not know until very late into a game is that being struck by a fleshbeast has a miniscule chance to transmit metalhorror infestations. I had to go through a lot of fruitless interrogation sessions with my new colonists before I figured that out.

All hail Pete Complete, the best teacher!

Loving this cataloged creature reels, after ending with this series, couldn't you do something similar with hice and mechanoid pawns?

[tefras]

Lots of sweet succulent twisted meat after each raid though!

[TheFinius]

Good info the Like and Subscribe pawns were very creative. :)

I have found that a single backline melee psycaster still works well. eleven good melee pawns with skip moreso. Skip centipede into eight warhammer users annihilates them. Bulb freak too. all melee has no care for splitting into more weak to melee targets. Melee OP OP when used well.

Wait, that shot in the end with all the turrets and sand bags, have we seen that before in the ice sheet serie? :o

[WackyIraqi]

The key to dealing with fleshbeasts is to install Grimworld 40K and liberally apply bolters in their general direction.

You forgot to mention the metal horrors Infection chance.

[amoksapandega]

Literally just make a straight line, wall both side all roofed and melee fighter front and back or just build wall/door at the back, and make sure its packed with your fighter colonist there is no unused tile

[RavenCarver]

Does this contain spoilers for upcoming episodes? I'm seeing some turrets and sandbags that aren't there yet in what has been published so far, lol.

If you have royalty, fleshbeasts can be thrown into chaos by manhunter pulse

[filianoreboreal]

I wonder of they can spread in a maze or a small opening like hallway what happen then ? The beast still spread to all side or just front and back ?

[burcerdil]

What about manhunter pulse ? Have they fixed it ?

[ruennnalakuvera]

i have bad experience with hundreds of fleshbeasts. they massacred my colonists in the early game. (randy highest difficulty)
