<div class="IPBDescription">once upon a time i killed an onos...</div> Hmm... how to kill an onos with your bare hands...
but really, sometimes when the game has reached a point where marine victory seems rather impossible. We always decide to just live as long as possibe. And thus we die either very slowly or quick and painful. The most common endgame creature is the Onos. Killing this creature is extremely difficult, and the mere presence of this mighty behemoth spells doom for the poor fool., but on to the point.
Me wanna know how to best kill an onos.

1.Pull out your hmg
2.Pull trigger on hmg
3.Let bullets fly into Onos until creature is not moving anymore
Keep to the high ground where the Onos can't get you.
As wisely stated before, get to the high ground.
DIRECT grenade hits into the body work well.
Level 3 shot guns do massave damage. But you have to be close in an area where the Onos cant get you. this is hard when the aliens are also attacking with fades and spore shooting lerks.
If the Onos is standing near OC, DCs out side the marine base and you have some siege cannons...
MASSAVE server crashing turret farms. Im talking like 50 turrets here. This happens once every 1,000,000 games but when it does **** really funny and that Onos drops dead in 1.5 seconds.
Luck, the Onos was ment to be a game ender anyways. I usualy do the same as you, If i know we cant win I fight to the death and prolong that alien vicstory as long as possible. If you are going to die, take some aliens with you.
Oh, and try to shoot onos from behind or left/right side. I have noticed that if you shoot onos in the head, it doesn't take that much damage.....hitboxes are skrewed or something... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hmmmm, I got killed by paralize just the other night <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
You got paralyzed and you dopped on the ground from high roof? Or did the paralyze kill you when you was standing on the ground? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
That's weird. Once i kept shooting one jp'er who were landed on to a one pipe. Shooted him with paralyze about 40 times and he didn't take any damage. And even the little info box which appears when you select paralyze says that it doesn't cause any damage. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Lvl 3 Weapons
Lvl 3 Armor
HMGs-Grenade Launchers-Shotguns-Welders
Jetpacks
Heavy Armor
Emplaced Sentry Turrets
And coupled this with good grouping techniques. Is it possible to hold back onos?

2)Switch to desired weapon

Wait until they are inside your spawn area hitting stuff and making noises. Get in behind it and start knifing.
With enough distractions around he may not notice and if some teammates are also hurting him you might get him.
Alternatly, run and scream.

We had setup a last resort base on the catwalk in viaduct ( Nothing ), the Onos were running around like rabid dogs below. The guy killed me somehow, when I checked my console to see what the kill registered as it did say *insertnamehere* killed Even~Flow with Paralasys <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
The graphic in game was a skull and crossbones. I definately did not fall to death.
Get about 7 people with LMGs and that onos is toast.. if he's alone

However...More imporantly, I was ina game were onos where being used and we managed to win the game (took us an hour to get everything for the marines back...but we did it). We were already fully upgraded on ALL of thetech tree so the Comm had the ability to do basically whatever he wanted. The first thing he did was place turrets all in access points to our hold out position. Then he gave 3 people HA with HMG and Welders. There were two onos that rushed base. Because the turrets where in their way the onos couldn't reach the HA/HMG's. The HA's slammed the onos and in seconds...the onos died. Once the Onos died the HA's soon got two more HA/HMG/Welders tot ehir contingent making 5 total HAs. (this is the truly hard part) the 5 HAs stuck together so and the comm diligently made sure they always had health. When we arrived at the first Hive we could we didn't break any formation and concentrated all power onthe hive. Not a single HA died because of the teamwork we had going on. Since the other aliens didn't have the res to get anymore onos the aliens couldn't send any real support to take out the HA's. With the first hive down we secured it and then very slowly moved to the second hive and did the same thing whittling away slowly at the aliens with PATIENCE and TEAMWORK (very key to winning in such bad situations).
Ultimately it is winnable but most Pub servers don't have people with the maturity or intelligence to stick together in groups for an hour slowly killing the aliens. So the odds are extremely against you...but you can win it.
Everyone is like, skrew the HA, JP pwn's !!!
Once we fought againts fully upgraded HA team with 3 hive aliens. We won that battle eventually, but it wasn't easy. We lost 4 onos and couple fades in that fight. We won because the xenociding skulks and lerks, who kept shooting spore. Xenocide was actually the only thing that worked against them effectively. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
I would agree with this general idea - jump on top of a resource collector, a ledge, something, to get out of the obvious hitzone.
Then never stop firing.
I remember an onos attacking our siege attempt in triad, and there were a couple of sentries to get in the way as it ran around. I emptied multiple LMG clips into the beast, while standing on the resource collector, and the poor alien player just couldn't get the angle and range needed to reach me as I shifted around on top.
It won't work all the time - other players probably could have reached me, but as this onos ran back up the ramp to eclipse, my last LMG clip finished him off.

Try charge. Kills HA dudes like you wouldn't believe. Pick adrenaline for your movement upgrade too so it lasts twice as long.
The other day, on ns_siege005, We had a full squad of HMG/HA waiting at the end of alien access, We heard the familiar scream of an onos, and within seconds, We had a 500lb beast charging at our squad. We all opened fire on it, and it dropped dead at our feet. The rest of the alien team were mincemeat after that, and we stormed in and took the three hives.
Moral of this story? Focus fire kills.

Another way to avoid the onos is to jump behind a barrier and shoot at it. This works well when in eclipse. If the onos is stupid he will go around and by that time you will have jumped over to the side the onos was on. If the onos is smart he will paralyse you. The trick is to keep moving.
how to kill a onos?
dont let them get them is my best suggestion or if ur teams sucks gang up
Charge and even good old gore absolutely destroy HA marines. The trick is to not be the only thing they have to shoot at. Have your teammates engage them, THEN charge in for the kill(s) from a flanking direction preferably. Don't rush at them from the end of a long, straight corridor.
Sadly, marines don't have any Onos counter as of 1.04, except a jetpacker who got up in a very good vantage point somewhere. Too bad the Onos can either leave or level an entire base in the time it'll take him to die. The only way to survive Onos with half a brain is to not let them get any in the first place (keep denying the 3rd hive) or its GG the second you hear that first primal scream.
not really
lvl. 3 armor
lvl. 3 weps
nade launcher
pistol
HA
The best way to kill an onos is to get it from behind. Position a marine out of sight at each side of a door, and when the onos runs past, it usually won't notice them. All they need to do is keep firing at it until it dies or another alien gets them.
