Poison attack

Racer1

I'd like to see one of the aliens get a poison attack...something that does low initial damage, but does damage over time (maybe 10 seconds). It could have the side-effect of temporarily parasiting the marine. Maybe it could be a special attack that takes extra adrenaline.

I don't know which alien would get this. If the lerk still had melee attack, I would say that would be the perfect rush, bite (and poison), run strategy.

Another option would be to make the gorge spit do this, albeit at a weaker level. If it parasites, it would give the gorge an ability to alert nearby aliens of a marine attack by spitting them.

No parasite, but I like making this a feature of the gorge. I'd even extend it to structures, so gorge spit does low DOT to structures.

Agreed, combined with Heal Spray armor corrosion, sorta makes up for the absence of Bile Bomb.

Probably what the Gorge upgrade Bacteria will do.
