Update history

July 21, 2010 Patch

  • Fixed this hat not being posed correctly on class loadout panels.

December 2, 2010 Patch

  • This hat was made paintable.

Bugs

  • Similar to an existing bug with the Holy Mackerel, the jiggleboned tail of the parasite may become twisted and knotted.

Trivia

  • When the hat is shot after falling off of its owner, it will bleed.
  • This hat will split into two whenever someone wearing it dies; this also happens in Alien Swarm where if the player dies from infection, the parasite splits into two or three, depending on the difficulty.
  • When clicked in the backpack this hat makes the sound of an actual Alien Swarm Parasite, instead of the sound played by selecting a regular hat.
  • The Parasite is worth 1 scrap. It is worth such little because it can be gained by buying the FREE game so anyone can get it.
