GRAIN ROT Corrupted Guide: Identify the Threat Before Choosing the Fight

Identify before closing distance

Official screenshots show Corrupted with different silhouettes and combat situations. Recognition matters because the same room can become unsafe when a different threat controls the doorway or range.

Use visible movement, attack pattern, and available space before committing the crew.

Several Corrupted attacking through a burning GRAIN ROT room — Silhouette and room geometry are part of the threat, not background detail.

Choose a fight for a reason

Fight when the enemy blocks the objective, protects priority loot, or threatens the return. Bypass when the cost is greater than the value behind it.

A crew low on health, ammunition, or coordination should not accept the same fight as a fresh team.

Version damage claims

Community tables may provide useful test leads, but damage can change and conditions may be missing. Record the patch, Vessel, mutation state, and test setup before publishing a number.

Until that reproduction exists, describe the observed danger and decision rather than inventing precision.
