Yes,people are using the Crawler in playtests,the people that are dumbshits fail with it,but the Smarter people,who also plan with other Infected team-mates,play it very well,as of now,it's vision is still similiar to that of the Other Infected (Kinda yellowish-green tint),but it's still well liked.

In the Infected Freeplay test,arguably the most cunning and evil use of the Crawler was getting a Screamer to bring down the pain on the Survivors,then have the Crawler pick them off.The Crawler works best in areas where there are decent Drop point because of its Approahc,grab,run,drop playing style,dropping a player with a Diving Suit disables its function due to the survivors Immobility.

It was rated by the Testers as the 2nd best new infected in the whole mod,aside from HADES
