The Nursing Spewer is a medium-sized Terminid that is a variant of the Bile Spewer. Besides spewing their bile, they emit a thin spore cloud around them.
Spawning
Nursing Spewers can be first found on 
Medium. They can spawn from Bug Breaches, within patrols, and guarding Objectives and Bug Nests.
Starting on 
Challenging, Nursing Spewers can be found guarding Minor Places of Interest.
Occasionally, Nursing Spewers will replace Bile Spewers.
Behavior
Nursing Spewers behave similarly to Bile Spewers.
Nursing Spewers act similarly to Bile Spewers. However, upon spawning in, they will emit a thin spore cloud around them, obscuring smaller Terminids such as Scavengers. Killing them will dissipate the spore cloud. Unlike Bile Spewers, Nursing Spewers are unable to fire bile bombs into the air on any difficulty.
Nursing Spewers have 
Light armor on all difficulties, unlike Bile Spewers' 
Medium armor on 
Extreme and above.
Tactical Information
- They are best killed by shooting their head, which is their weak spot. As they have light armor, every weapon can deal damage to it, with Support Weapons being especially effective at killing them quickly.
- A single well-placed grenade near or under the Spewer will often one-shot or nearly kill it. The G-16 Impact grenade is especially effective, and can even kill 2 adjacent Spewers with a well-placed throw.
- The butt has high a durable rating but no explosive damage resistance, making any weapon that is explosive or plasma based a good choice against spewers.
- Weapons that stagger, such as the SG-8 Punisher and ARC-3 Arc Thrower, can interrupt their spewing attacks.

* Parts with their HP listed as "Main" do not have their own individual health. All damage dealt to these parts is transferred to the enemy's Main health pool.
** Refer to armor values and enemy durability as defined in Damage.
*** The percentage of damage that is applied to the enemy's Main health pool. At 0 HP, the enemy dies. Unless the enemy has constitution, then it will bleedout and die.
**** ExDR means explosive damage resistance, this is a percentage between 0 and 100. If this value is 100%, the part is explosive immune, meaning explosives cannot damage it.
Explosions will only directly damage Main health if it is internal.
