Why Does Every OP Have That One Guy?

Depends heavily on who’s playing the lurker (Even a moderately competent marine can solo a bald warrior and lurker with a shotgun and not much else, whilst a veteran lurker can whittle down a group of baldies into slush.)

It’s basically a roll of the dice- Backlining means an M240 or UBF is stupid strong (almost guaranteed kills if they fuck up by extinguishing while you chase), M37s are king for CQC, and M4RA is great for chasing disengaging xenos without mobility debuffs.

How effective any of this is pretty much dependent on the skill of the other guy, given the xeno player always has a huge inherent advantage.

Even the best players are easily killed by lurkers, they’re just the anti-everything. Best thing to do is hold a corner that is well-lit and LRB them as soon as they get close. The PB into volatile UBF is extremely strong and it’s my go-to when backlining.

I was literally about to make that joke.
