Starcraft 2 Zerg Multiplayer Guide: Become a Zerg Master in Starcraft 2
Starcraft 2 Zerg Multiplayer Guide
The Zerg are a very different race to the Terran or Protoss factions in Starcraft 2. A gathering of many different species that have been infested and genetically modified into perfect living machines of war, the Zerg are constantly evolving into new and more terrifying shapes - even their building units are genetically morphed Drones, and each part of the Zerg Swarm serves as part of the larger collective. While Zerg units are relatively plentiful and cheap to construct, they are not as hardy as, say, the Protoss, and are constrained by their requirement for Creep to allow them to construct new buildings, as well as each of the units requiring a specific structure to unlock its genetic potential within the Larva. This can make playing as Zerg initially bewildering for the less experienced Starcraft 2 player.
Thankfully, Bright Hub is here to help. We’ve compiled a massive guide to all things Zerg, with detailed articles packed with Zerg strategy tips, beginners guides for each individual Zerg unit, a comprehensive look at all the many varied Zerg building units and their roles within the Zerg colony, and a walkthrough on how to unlock all the Zerg-specific Starcraft 2 multiplayer Achievements on Battle.net. With this guide close to hand, you’ll soon get your head round the strange and twisted nature of the Zerg.
