Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Symbiotes were initially set to be removed on October 18th 2021. The date was altered due to a glitch.
    • The glitch allowed players to keep the speed boost and Glider Redeploy without having the item after being rebooted.
  • The canister's design is taken from the one used by the Life Foundation in Venom (2018).
  • On release the Venom Symbiote only changed the Glider for console players due to the files relating to Eddie Brock's cosmetics not being encrypted there. This was fixed in Update v18.10.
  • The Venom Symbiote functions almost identically to the Carnage Symbiote and thus they cannot be stored together in the player’s inventory.
  • It functions similarly to Venom’s Smash & Grab, however, it has two additional abilities and smaller cooldown time.
  • By grabbing a chicken with the Venom Symbiote, the player instantly receives 15 Health. This doesn’t work with other Wildlife and is a reference to how Venom eats chickens as an alternative to humans in Let There Be Carnage.
  • When this item is picked up, the Tendrils of Venom Back Bling will be equipped.
