Aliens actually need some good lerks at start and afterwards fades. You cant just do all skulks saving for onii. Get those lifeforms on the field, train with them to be efficient with those and win

* Random stuff on ceilings blocking my fade/lerk/jp. ( the cables near ventilation is a stand out culprit, random chains on ceilings )
* Powernodes
Other little annoyances that nags me during a whole match:

Babbler armor is great. Tried it last night with a sympathetic gorgie, it is an awesome combination with fades. Fades generally get quickly into combat so the 20-30s time after which babbler fall off isnt a penalty for the quick moving fade. Extra a…

(Quote) This is really important. Don't put your 1st obs in base, it is far more useful for your marines out in the field, and can also be used for beacon.

Agreed, it takes way too long to switch weapons, especially when compared to NS1.

If there are 2 skulks biting it ( or a bilebomb gorge + skulk ) recycle is better by a thin margin.

I was thinking about that recently. I remember back when we were scrimming torment in NS1 that we saw frequently one LMG gun down 3-4 skulks with 1 lmg clip + 1 pistol. I did a quick look up of recent matches and saw 1 (!!) 3 skulk…
