Can you web a marine by shooting it at him or must he walk through a strand of it?

    Welders will cut webs, and GLs will destroy them as well. That's all I think.

    Once a marine is webbed, he just has to endure it until it is over. You cannot end it early.

    Web turrets sound like an excellent addition to a the alien arsenel. You cannot web a marine directly, we tested this and found that it made gorges far too effective as attackers, which is not there intened role.

    Wait a sec, you can web a marine because I did it tth other night. Just shot web directly at him and he couldn't move very well and walked away really slow. So I'm pretty sure it works.

    You cannot web a marine DIRECTLY. However, if you web two walls on opposite sides of the marine, and the line that gets drawn crosses his path, it will snare him. It's possible you had just been webbing a wall, and when you fired the web directly at the marine, it hit a wall behind him and the line intersected with his position. That's all I can think of. I tried this in-game during my own gorging runs, and it's tricky, but possible.

    When webbed, a good tactic is to just turn around and run the other way. It's faster than trying to run backwards while webbed, and being able to see the enemy does you no good since you can't attack anyway.

    It annoys me that some official NS site somewhere told me that shotguns can cut through web. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> Somebody needs to correct that misinformation. It was either the official NS site or the Ready Room.

    shoot the floor in front of you, and then the wall directly behind him with web. It works as long as they dont have an HMG and insta kill you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
