Evolving from the Drone, the role of the Carrier is the rapid infection of multiple hosts at a distance. Though it loses the ability to secrete resin, the Carrier instead is able to carry up to 6 facehuggers upon its back, and launch them over a distance with great accuracy.
Spreading the Infection
The Carrier's ability to throw facehuggers gives it a similar role in combat to the Sentinel caste. Using facehuggers to disable your foes opens them up for assaults by other members of the Hive. Alternatively, your foes may instead lose valuable time and ground attempting to remove the facehuggers before it is too late, with you pelting them with additional huggers all the while.
Enemies with damage or no head protection are easy targets for the Carrier, able to be take these targets out nearly instantly with a single, well-aimed strike.
