How To Kill The Onos Easily!

Pegenator · April 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">This works on melee fades, too.</div> Problem: 1 helluva big <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> is rushing towards you. What will you do?

Solution 1: PANIK!!!!!!!11 FLEE!!!!!!!!1 HLP COM!!!1

Solution 2: Pull out ur hmg, tell him to Shut The **obscenity** Up & medspam like hell!

Solution 3: Calm down, pull out your knife and crouch before him.

Correct answer: Solution number 3.

Why Solution number 3? Most of the players are newbie controlling the onos. They will just aim too high, not hitting the marine.
This tactic works like a charm with the shotgun, too. HMG isn't bad either. Well, about every weapon works. If the onos uses paralyze or charge you're in a world of trouble.

This tactic is also a menace to the newbie fades, for the same reason as the onoi.

I can see why it would work against Onos, but against Fades? When a Fade swipes, they hit pretty much whatever is in the middle of their screen. They just have to look down at you, as opposed to the Onos, which has to aim a bit.

The onos is prolly moving too fast for this... Dunno. Could work.

Well my head didn't explode after reading that.

You've got a point though. I see Onos go down to JP/shotgunners more than anything else. Just zoom in, shoot a round or two at point-blank range, then zoom out.

It's tough to paralyze a fast target.

yea but..... what if the onos isn't a newbie.

Just about any strategy will work against a nub onos. Something that works purely because of having poor opposition isn't much of a strategy. Besides, even if it took him 30 seconds of knifing to figure out how to kill you, an onos with regen would probably not even be close to death. It's not like an onos has to attack all by itself, either; a few skulks, lerks, fades, etc. will mop the floor with your knifey butt while you get distracted by the big target.

There is no reason a fade should fall to this. Crouching makes you really slow, which means your are a sitting duck for a few acid rockets.

If there's no fades about and you see an onos coming drop 4 packs of mines and put them all in one spot. We killed 3 onos' in a row before a fade came along and blew us and the entire base up lol.

No offense, but since when do people need tips on how to kill newbies?

Once i was lucky when i fought against a fade. Map was ns_caged and aliens had just destroyed our base (only CC was left up there). There was a gorge building stuff under the com chair. You know in that hallway behind those ladders which takes you up to the com chair.

He had builded a sensory chamber almost against that wall and then fade started to chase me with his claws. I jumped behind the sensory chamber, so i was between it and the wall. I crouched and pull out my knife. Fade jumped in front of me and started to swipe and i slashed him with my knife. He hit me about 10 times, but i didn't take any damage. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> After 10 second battle i managed to kill him with knife.

I think hitboxes were messed up somehow in that situation. Fade probably only hitted at that sensory chamber all the time. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
