Playing a Praetorian
Playing as the Praetorian is near identical to the Spitter but grants a more boosted arsenal, as well as the ability to secrete pheromones
which assist your fellow aliens (as well as yourself) at the cost of plasma. Praetorians also have an exterior exoskeleton that acts as armor to protect them from ranged projectiles. The spit rate is increased, which allows for a rapid spit attack, but you've become a bit slower. That's the downside.
Generally you'd want to be guarding the Hive unless ordered not to, as your abilities are made for defending and keeping watch of infected hosts. If you're fighting, remember that you're a slow target but durable enough to sustain some damage as you're armored. Also, your pheromones give a passive boost if activated.
