Remove death by neurogas

Title.

Neurogas should NEVER kill, because the whole purpose of neurogas is to debilitate and, if you get hit with enough, stun someone without the ability to fight back and be easily dragged back. But if you get hit by a full cloud, and know you cannot escape, its actually just better to sit in the cloud because you will take a fatal amount of neurogas and instantly die, which allows you to be recovered by marines instead of be dragged away as per its intended feature.

TL;DR neurogas should never do damage, but the longer you stay in it, the longer your stun.

Xenomain detected. Neuro kills to prevent easy caps. Otherwise every glob would lead to +1 cap.

pretty sure neurotoxin is a toxin and too much of any toxin would kill any human

Every direct glob SHOULD be a cap, though. Unless your the first one to get hit by a glob not knowing a boiler is there, boilers telegraph they are there for the rest of the marine team. If you get hit by a glob and no one is brave enough to drag you out or at least shoot into the gas then run in when the gas is gone and help intent you back up, then you deserve to be captured.

I have 100’s of hours in Marine and barely 100 combined hours in xeno, so not sure why the first accusation is xeno main.

god no. It would make it WAY too strong.
Besides, Neurotoxin aint for capping anyhow. The fact that it rather easily kills caps, should show this.
Just because it can apply a stun/debuff, doesnt mean its made for capping.
It CAN be used for capping, but thats not its main use. More a versetile support tool.

This ain’t a xenomain take, it’s just a bad take.

I main xeno and I’ve never once thought neuro should be non-lethal cuz it turns out that neurotoxin is pretty goddamn lethal. If anything I always thought it was a little underwhelming until I got hit with one on the rare occasion I played marine and realized that its effects aren’t readily noticeable to the xeno player.

I think most xeno players would agree a Boiler is not meant to facilitate caps with direct damage. It’s a long range AOE damage and crowd-control unit, creating space for the frontliners and a safe spot to engage and disengage from. If the frontliners happen to stop slashing for once in their lives and cap as a result then hooray, but that’s not the boilers aim with its globs.

Why OP wants neuro to be non-lethal is beyond me.

Isnt neuro gas some type of nerve agent like Sarin Gas. I would imagine like the above mentioned agent, prolonged exposure would be lethal

N’wahs out here discussin’ how Neurotoxins work, here, on an internet forum, unable to google the term.

In our case sentinel and queen’s neuro are harmless for a short term, while boiler neuro gas is something different.

neuro is valuable because it leaves marines defenseless to be slashed and fracced to actually damage them instead of just burning them which they get defibbed once and they’re fine

Oh rigth. Just a little fun fact thats mostly unrelated.

We have another type of neurotoxin, that is exclusive to the ARES core. It got exclusive neurotoxin gas.
Wich has some uniqe qualitys to it, like this specific uniqe gas, is the only one that has a property that causes it to be blocked by masks with the “block gas” property.
Wich are most marine masks.

And no, it does not have anything to do with the gas blocking var all the masks have. That is empty and remnant from atmos. Its a spereate thing.

Whatever ARES core has is some mumbojumbo that works both on humans and xenos.
