<div class="IPBDescription">it can kill????</div> i never saw an onos kill anybody with primal scream until last night. it didnt say anything about it being used as a lethal weapon in the manual. But then i saw it used (and it took down a lot of marines)

how much damage does primal scream do?

    It's the charge that kills the marines, but the current selected weapon appears as the weapon used to kill. So if youi change to paralyze when charging you can kill with paralyze.

    Same for skulk leap: leap, then change to xenocide (when you have 2 hives)... You'll see a few confused marines lol (OMG THEY GOT 3 HIVEZZZZ!!!!!!!!111111) lol

    FYI everyone, primal scream does no damage, but it increases attack speed, energy replenishment speed, regen speed (if regen is your upgrade), damage done in attacks (am I missing something here) to all aliens within radius, thus making it an INCREDIBLY powerful "weapon" as the rest of your team (as well as you yourself) will take down marines and their structures phenominally quickly.

    No, it does no damage but if you charge and then change the weapon to primal scream the charge is still active. You'll kill your enemies with charge but a primal scream kill will appear...

    yeah I know that fire, I was just pointing out that it's not the primal scream that's doing the damage <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes. Primal scream can kill. So can paralyse. So can web, umbra and blink. I've gotten all of these myself, and REALLY **** off some admins. And the best part, you can do this without ANY hacking.

    Have fun!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You can only use this trick as a skulk with 2 hives. You need leap as it is the only weapon with that sort of "continuous" damage.

    Ok guys this is how you can do it (but dunno about in a pub lol)

    Go into a server, activate sv_cheats 1 then you use the command to kill all using a certain weapon (or current weapon). Get onos with primal and then use the cheat command to kill all players.

    Player is killed by Primal Scream

    heh <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    EDIT: Same can happen with Umbra lmao

    How to get an umbra/blink/web kill.

    1) Charge as an onos.

    2) While charging, morph into the class you want the kill as.

    3) Switch to your hive 2 weapon.

    4) Charge marines to death! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    PS: You can also get a weaponless kill if a marine decides to run into your egg while you morph. This is the most difficult kill to get in the game.

    PPS: IMO, the most fun to do is switch to a skulk and rack up a huge amount of parasite kills in a row.
