Welder Fighting

nice idea - make the screen dark, apart from bright flashing around the bit you're welding...

You don't need to reload a welder.

You should not reduce the range.

It is bad enough in heavy action having an EXO suit, 2 skulks, a grenade explosion and an onos right in your face whilst trying to repair the EXO. All you can see is a visual mess, and you have no real idea of where you are positioning yourself.

If anything range should be increased to allow you to view more of what is going on and to allow for easier repairing when players are moving, but with a reduction in damage to life forms.

Solution: Have two different cones. One small and short that checks if you hit an enemy and one how it is right now, that checks for welder targets.

Why didn't I watch this before? That was ridiculously enjoyable to watch. Please never nerf the welder.

I tried this the other night. I was only able to get 1 kill with the welder in about 25 minutes. During that time I took out the entire alien cyst chain twice without a single skulk trying to stop me, killed many rt's because a lack of cysting, was repeatedly yelled at for being an idiot with the welder, and I even got a congrats on being such a good troll. I figured the aliens would come to me if I was attacking the cyst chain, they did not. Will be trying again. I can say this is harder than it looks.

Movement is key obviously, you need to be able to dodge attacks and dance around, else you likely won't succeed

If I can learn to welder kill I will be much better with a rifle/shotgun. I will be practicing.

If you stop for a second you can hear marines approaching from pretty far away. Might be something to think about during that boring time while holding the fire button ;-) .
