Purple Spreader

Appearance
The Purple Spreader is an elite version of the Spreader. It can be found on Level 3.

Behavior
The Purple Spreader behaves just like the Spreader, shooting at players from a relatively far distance. It shoots four bullets in a horizontal line and they slow spread out. The Purple Spreader, like the normal Spreader will move away if you get too close, but it will sometimes stay where it is if it has already finished its shooting cool down. Unlike the Spreader, it will split into three smaller Purple Spreaders. These smaller Spreaders are smaller and weaker, and they shoot smaller bullets. They will also start to shoot as soon as they are killed. The amount of bullets and their line of fire can make it hard to avoid them.

Strategy
So you want to try and hit the Purple Spreader with area damage so that you kill the smaller Spreaders when it splits. This will avoid the large amount of bullets that they shoot out once the original Purple Shotgun is killed. If your area damage attack doesn't kill them straight away, dash to the side. You want to try and kill off those smaller Spreaders right away because they can cause trouble later on. Also, make sure not to destroy one to close to you because the smaller Spreaders' bullets might hit you as they do shoot right as the original is split.
