<div class="IPBDescription">As marines</div> Killing an alien with knife was once a cool thing to do, but now it's not rare anymore but commom. The other way leap kills aren't very common now?

Which weapon do you think is the most 1337357 weapon to kill with?
(donøt say stomp anything done with charge and weapon change)


I vote for Welder kills.
and second is leap kills.

    I don't think the weapon switch bug that works for the onos works for any other aliens. I've experimented around when bored with this. You can't spit someone and switch to bile bomb and get a bb kill, it still credits it as a spit kill even if you've got the bb selected at the time. It may work with skulks and leap, but leap does so little damage that it's hard to get a kill with it anyway. And since all skulk weapons do damage, getting a leap kill but switching to something else isn't really that impressive.

    For marines:

    welder
    knife

    For aliens:

    parasite
    leap
    stomp
    charge

    PS: interesting how aliens have more weak attacks...

    Mid air grenade ownage VS a skulk, or getting five kills with a <b>hand</b> grenade is impressive.

    I'm impressed everytime I see someone kill something with an LMG. And a little jealous too.

    When I get a pistol kill with > 500 ping.
    Generally, when a lerk is flying after you, and you smack it's face with a hand grenade. May not kill it, but it's funny as heck.
  • Swift_IdiotSwift_Idiot Join Date: 2003-01-05 Member: 11883Members
    I like midair lerk/grenade impacts. It's the funniest thing ever. Especially if they are at full health and you do it twice.

    Parasite kills are still funny. Welder kills are crazy hard. You have to get them down to 2 HP.

    Finishing off a Fade, Ono and Lerk....all with 2 clips of pistol ammo, and they're all charging you. As they've killed all your friends. Then dying to a gorge.

    Well i find knifing fades sometimes funny.

    Camping AR 35 hive,(near the weldable door to gorges hideout) killing 7 skulks in a row. Changing postion......getting healsprayed, from behind, just to see that 2 shiny little meds dropping on your corpse.

    edit:
    everything that involves a draw, such as: Standing in a spore cloud, with nearly full hp/ap suddenly beeing charged by the sporing lerk, blasting him to heavens with sg and dieing the same moment from his spores.

    btw: I knifed my first NS onos yesterday (hive 1)

    I got a welder kill the other day:

    I was a heavy, and welded a skulk to death as he bit me over and over.

    He would have won, but I had another heavy welding me at the same time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Leap doesn't do a lot of damage? I'm pretty sure it does 80 damage actually, which is 5 damage more than bite. With focus, if you hit them with leap and bite them once, unless they have level 3 armor, that's basically a one hit kill. And leap is pretty easy to kill with, it's just that most skulks switch to bite before they finish their leap so it does no damage.

    I believe leap does less damage, and it'll still do damage if you switch to bite/parasite/whatever. Best kills = knifing or welding lerks.

    I recently made a leap kill.

    I almost cried.

    In fact, I cried.

    Err, no. Leap does 80 damage, spread out over one second. You have to be in contact with the marine for the full second you're leaping to do 80 damage. In reality, by the time you get to them, you'll do maybe 10 damage. Unless you really want to stick around for a second leap right in their face....in which case you will get owned. Hard.
  • NuubNuub Join Date: 2004-01-05 Member: 25059Members
    Knifing a skulk thats leaping right at you. Or a lerk thats flying right over you, that's fun too. Of course its more hilarious with a welder but when that happens, I must have a demo of that.
