While the new map Descent, my friend and I discovered a few exploits on the map:
-In Hydroanalysis, the vent there on top where gorges can easily destroy marine structures if they captured that area, there is no possible way to shoot the gorges without grenade launchers or jetpacks which the marines would usually get late in the game unless rushed everything. Even then the Gorges can barricade themselves within the vent

- In a vent in gravity control, is practically the same thing, the marines can't hit anything up there. 06103FDCE264E7480BE437CF560D4605FD5A95C3

    Those aren't exploits.

    Thanks for the tips. I now know where to gorge.

    The vent above hydroanalysis is by design. Its a huge advantage for either team to hold that tech point, and so it needs to be a high risk high reward scenario. The hive is extremely siegable, and is also very easy to assault for aliens.

    The second one, isnt an exploit, but at the moment it doesnt concern me. If I see scenarios that warrant change, I will do so, but as of now I only see that as a minor issue.

    For the second spot, if you stand on the extractor, its very easy to shoot any aliens up there.

    This post makes me think of the nano vents back when they didn't have covers.

    And if by any chance they're watching this thread I want them to know I miss them very much and want them to come back.
