Whenever you are close to being killed the 'Redemption' upgrade teleports you straight back to the hive to be healed.

It's not terribly useful as a skulk unless you've got other upgrades as well, and even then upgrades tend to be cheap enough that you might be better off with carapace and living that little bit longer.

If you plan to evolve up, however, then it's better because it means you don't have to spend the resources evolving again.

when it works its great, but there will be players it never ever works for, because of connection or just bad luck :/

Redem is excellent for newbish gorges - I used it quite frequently when I was still learning the Tao of the Gorge. It's also pretty handy for fades. Once you get used to fighting with those classes, though, you'll probably be good enough at getting *yourself* out of trouble that you won't need Redem to do it for you. I almost always get Cara nowadays, especially as gorge.

Redemption's just funny. Best of all is that rare time you're leaping at something and redeem mid-leap... It might not be useful, but it's funny.

Oh yea its real funny when you get redeemed back to a hive that has spawn points about 15 feet off the ground. Then redem is instadeath. Like that map uhh marsoutpost i think. DO NOT GET REDEMPTION AS A GORGE ON THAT MAP. Poof ahhhhhhh splat.

Mappers, a prerequisite for getting your map official is not screwing your spawnpoints!

a little note... redemption is very usefull to higher level aliens (fades, onos) (even though the description states it shouldn't work with onos) and every time it works, you should praise it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

on the contrary, if you are the marine that just initiated the redemption mechanism... you are likely to curse redemption to hell and back <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Actually, I am usually happy when I cause a Fade to redeem, because I know it only takes 20-30 LMG bullets to cause it to redeem, as opposed to the 60-80 bullets required to kill a carapaced Fade.

Yea Id much rather have a redeeming fade comming at me than a cara fade. I know if I can just hit them with half a clip poof gone fade. But with cara its like oh well might as well drag out the ole knife and start slashing.
