<div class="IPBDescription">its worked a few times</div> Ok start game this is what you drop

1 inf portal
1 armory
1 arms lab
lvl 1 armor upgrade


This only works if you dont opt to run to a hive and build there. The extra armor gives your men that extra second to kill the skulk as they get their carapace upgraded. Plus your already 1/3 the way to nearly impossible to get killed by a skulk.

Of course later on you get your other spawn portals and all other goodies but so far this armor upgrade is payin off when I command.

    Not a new strategy... Sorry.
    It is called the armslab rush. Works pretty well.

    And that extra armor won't let you survive against skulks any longer than lvl0, I think. Skulks do 75 damage / bite, right?

    I beleive i posted this a month ago, you really should look at past strategy's before deciding whether a strategy is new or not.

    do you have any idea of how many strat posts there are? Im not trying to take any glory on this from you and your "new strat" post. Im just trying to enlighten the eyes of those who havent read every single post made to date in the ns forums. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The first armor upgrade is the most important upgrade in the game next to MT. It addes one more skulk/Lerk bite you can take, and one more acid rocket.

    Skulk bite does 75 damage but armor mitigates some of that, at level 1 your HP only takes about 56 points (hence two bites) level 2 however notches it down to 40something, allowing you to take 3. HUGE advantage for the marines.
