Control the surroundings
ID-010 is the scorpion-like creature associated with infected bodies. Watch overhead vents for its presence and keep track of bodies nearby. Purple liquid is a warning to check the route rather than rush underneath it. Older guides can describe behaviour from before balancing changes: developer update 0.20 explicitly says ID-010 can no longer sting players who are themselves inside vents.
Remove support, then fight
- Find a Flamethrower before a deliberate hunt.
- Burn nearby bodies to reduce opportunities for reanimation and force more direct encounters.
- Damage the creature when it engages, then regroup if it withdraws.
- Use a Health Injector or a healing station if poisoned.
To capture it, clear bodies near the shuttle approach and containment area first. Lure ID-010 into the chamber, use flame to hold the vulnerable moment, and close the door while it is inside. In co-op, keep the healing tool accessible to the player doing the lure. Do not confuse a teammate's infected former body with the living player; verify identity before moving into close range.
