<div class="IPBDescription">Noobish ones, at that</div>Crosshairs seem to be disabled by default and can't be enabled without cheats on, am I doing it wrong?
Skulks still get one-hit by grenades?

Thanks for your time.

    Crosshairs are disabled before the round start. Cheats 1 forces the round to start and thus they are enabled. Grenadelauncher damage wasnt changed afaik, but the reload and shooting(?) is slower and detonate time of grenades is longer.

    as a skulk, it takes 90 normal-type damage to kill you, 170 if you have carapace. the grenades deal 130 to ~169 damage depending on upgrades, so either way you die in 1 hit unless you have carapace which makes it 2 hits. (these calculations assume you got a direct hit, i dont know how splash behaves)

    edit: the reason you survive now is due to the change of carapace. the downside is, it slows you down whenever you have evolved it.

    edit2: skulks with carapace actually absorb 170 normal-type, not 190. this does not change anything for this scenario though.

    170 with carapace (50x2 + 70), but otherwise correct.

    sorry, you are right. i just realized it myself, the script added the values on top of the base values instead of replacing them...

    Wait, skulks surviving a DIRECT HIT from a grenade launcher? That's just stupid...
    (not calling anyone here stupid, just saying they should be very dedded)

    Really? If anything, I would've thought damage across the board is too high as is...ok then. :p

    well if you have weapons3, only 1 more damage is needed to kill the skulk after hitting him with a grenade. assuming you are not moving out alone with your grenade launcher, it should still be pretty useful... on weapons0, 4 additional bullets will do (5 if he regenerates a bit).
