    psh, skulks and onos? try axing a lerk or fade lol its the nimble ones that are the prize.

    I keep whipping out my axe when I run out of bullets, in the hope that the fade hastruly overcommitted, but it has yet to result in a glorious fade axe kill.

    was 1 millisecond away from welding an Onos after 10 second weld-chase :P but accidentally shot 1 bullet and killed him when a lerk interfered!

    How do you think people fought skulks in the past centuries, before rifles? Halberds, swords and crossbows, man. Look it up in "Trattato Di Scientia d’ Arme, con un Dialogo di Filosofia" from Camillo Agrippa, he dedicates a whole chapter to fighting the extra-terrestrial life forms. Against skulks, he recommends the use of buckler and practice of proper footwork to sidestep the skulk's jumping bite.

    Oh, and try reloading a crossbow after you miss. Hint - it cannot be done running around.

    and back when men were men, and monsters were monsters, a good crossbow bash would truly devastate skulks. how is it we've grown so effete?

    Reinforced should reintroduce crossbows.

    Keep trying. Never done it in NS2, but soooooooooooooooooooooooooo rewarding in NS1

    I got nano'd once and actually won a knife fight with a fade. I got a few shotgun shells into him first, of course.

    I seriously remember getting far more knife kills in NS1 than axe kills, I don't really like the axe animation so it's probably just a mental thing :(

    I have killed an Onos with my axe before, though!

    "If your in a server and you own skulks with the switch-axe please just leave the server. You are obviously too skilled in the game for everyone else and frankly your just ruining the experience of everyone else." ;);)

    The NS1 knife swung alot faster (HL1 crowbar speed) than the axe does now

    I got a fade with a welder recently. I will admit, it was total luck. I was trying to keep our exo alive while he was trying to take down the fade. Next thing I know it said Cannon Fodder welder killed fade. It was a WTF moment for the fade I am sure.

    got flame thrower killed the same way, nearly full health,tried to take a swipe at a ground flame thrower and suddenly died, apparently tailwind are sneaky.
