Does Spores Hurt Ha?

Tomper

<div class="IPBDescription">What's the deal...</div> Hello,

A quick question: does spores hurt marines in HA? I've heard people on servers yell that HA are totally unaffected by spores, is that true?

I kind of figured spores were a gas attack that ignores armour... but who knows, perhaps those HA has build in gasmasks?

Does anyone know?

Cheers!

Nope - HAs can have a nice little picknick inside spore clouds without a care in the world.

I think I read somewhere that Heavy Armor was originally designed as a pressure suit for space-combat or something. Anyway, HA comes with its own air supply, so yeah, they're immune to spores.

Which is why I think far not enough comms invest enough stuff into getting them very VERY early in the game.

Yea, I just managed to test this on a 2.0 server and the HA can indeed unfold a blanket, pour a cup of tea, and munch on a biscuit, without being bothered by those spores. No damage what so ever.

Always fun to see some lerks try to spore the HA's. Or umbra them <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Initially spores did damage to HA. But then they took it out because of balance problems. Entire HA trains got wasted cause they are too slow to get out of the cloud in time and the lerk could keep them constantly spored.
