Hopefully this hasn't been thought of before, but I was reading quite a bit on the forum about how to combat onos as marines. The main idea that goes around is the rail gun that would be low fire rate high damage.
Here's my idea, how about a tranquilizer gun? It would be purchased from the armory for 5 res and replaces your pistol. This tranquilizer gun, when hitting an alien prevents any REGEN on the alien for a certain amount of time. (10-20 seconds?) So no regen from gorges or crags if you manage to hit them with a tranquilizer dart. The dart would be a one shot then reload type mechanic.
This would make the strategy of running in and out with an onos be less effective because the onos would have to wait longer each time before he can heal and come storming back in. Or, it would help you kill a fleeing onos because the crags he makes it to right around the corner won't give him that extra 100 health he needed to stay alive to turn around and kill you.
