    We've seen this before. It is the Kharaa evolving into an ascended state, becoming unkillable. It is a very distressing issue and the TSF researchers are working on a solution.

    Looks like a missmatch between the client and server hitboxes for the hydra. Essentially, when you are shooting the hydra, your client predicts the hydras health and armor values from the damage you are doing. However, from the servers point of view, you have been 'missing' the hydra this entire time (i.e. the server thinks the correct hydra hitbox is offset from the one you see), such that when it updates your client, it resets the hydras health back to full. Its a bug that used to happen to certain alien structures, such as shifts, where it was using the 'growing' hitbox rather than the 'grown' hitbox.

    Probably caused by a server error or mod. Not a big issue unless you see it happening repeatedly. A quick workaround is to attack the structure with an AOE effect weapon (e.g. grenade launcher or flamethrower).

    Likely means its an issue with the server. Are you seeing this issue on other servers?
