Marines not closing cades and hugger throwing mechanic?

So I was hit bad as SL while fighting on the front and had to pull back to heal my IB. One of my docs was healing me when suddenly a hugger lunges at him and hugs him. I drag him in the FOB and put him in stasis. I then proceed to get healed by the FOB doc. Suddenly out of no where a hugger hugs me while lying on the surgical bed. I wake up while being dragged on the DS along with my medic. Inside the DS an OT was helping with the stasis bags when boom, hugger to the face.

If you play marines for gods sake close the cades.

Then theres this thing where xenos can throw huggers behind cades. I was at some point manning an m56d in a crumbling FOB while defending against harassers and and occasional queen pushes when all of a sudden a hugger appears behind my CLOSED cades and gets me. I am sure the hugger was a bot so could it have been thrown in by xenos? I honestly dont know. I sure was annoyed as hell

I would pay real metal if I could attach an upgrade to flip cades that makes them automatically close after 10 seconds of being open.

it was, like 99% of huggers, a UAV ghost player. as for cade gate hate, i dont play WO because bros dont close cades. as a bravo main, i have a sixth sense for cades being left open, except it manifests as a physical pain in my skull.

90% of playing WO as an officer is spamming close the cades. I feel you.

Xenos can travel through the vents and pipes on the colony. If they enter a pipe and the pipe is broken somewhere, either by explosion or being unwrenched from the line the xeno can pop out on that tile, but will not be able to climb back in. Let this be your PSA to not unwrench pipes inside the FOB unless you’ve disconnected external routes in. Explosions can also sometimes destroy pipes.

honestly, if it was tied to whether the area had power or not, then it be actually really cool.

Medics lacking situational awareness is an issue. I’ve made a couple hugs recently with patients lying on roller beds. I didn’t even have to pounce for one, just strolled up and hugged the guy while the two medics fluoride stared.
