Try to keep a safe distance so that you have time to run when it throws a pod. Alone, the Vore is straightforward to take out as long as you have cover.It isn't necessarily an easy enemy to kill, either at 400 health points, the Vore's maximum health is second only to the Shambler. Its homing ball does significant damage upon impact, and will chase your movement almost precisely until it hits something. The Vore is one of the toughest Enemies in the game.As a packet overflow happens when the Quake engine reaches its limit of created entities, this means it is impossible for any projectile (from you or the Vore) to spawn into the map until at least one of the energy pods is destroyed.

Packet overflows will continuously display error messages until the problem is corrected. This occurs when the Vore has spawned in enough projectiles that the Quake engine is pushed to its limit. Note that this means that the Vore can eventually cause a packet overflow.

The energy pod never vanishes on its own it must make contact with another entity or wall in order to explode.

The pod does 40 points of damage on impact, which is enough to cause instant death if the player is low on armor and health. But if it gets too close to the player, then it is very difficult to throw off and contact is a near certainty. At a distance, the pod can be tricked into hitting a wall if the player takes cover quickly. The pod moves quickly and is nearly impossible to outrun it is also good at maneuvering corners if the angle is right. It unleashes a homing projectile that matches its target's movements almost precisely.

The Vore has only one attack, but it is particularly powerful.
