Bilebomb

ZiGGY

Yes it only attacks buildings, my question is... does it blow up mines?

Stakhanov

errrm... I don't see how an attack harming metallic buildings could not harm metallic mines... it's a 2nd hive ability , to be used to siege bases and clear defenses... mines are mostly defensive weapons. If the bile bomb doesn't set off mines , then something is wrong.

It may have been suggested before... but why not make it damage the marine armor too ? This would force HA's to keep welding each other and pause the attack when a battle gorge shoots bile bombs at them.

Nemesis_Zero

BBs are pretty bugged as of now, so I'm not sure whether an answer can be definite, but to my knowledge, they do blow them up.

That_Annoying_Kid

do they take away armour?
it would only make sense, but if there bugged, let's get the fixed first <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

its gonna look pretty strange having a bile bomb come out of a gorge (unless they have changed the model) . almost as strange as the gl...

DDTrini_Lopez

This is related to bilebomb , well , now as Fade sometimes it's hard to use bilebomb because in small places it just blows in front of me and makes me damage . If the gorge has it now , does it throw the bile bomb further away ?, cause a gorge is smaller than a fade ... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Nemesis_Zero

Bilebombs don't damage organic targets (i.e. the players) anymore.

Frogg2

yes the gorge can shoot it very far.

Jabba_The_Hunt

I think that when the gorge shoots the bilebomb it should push the gorge back slightly cause its so powerful, that would look so cool.

Does the Gorge make a new sound? A sort of hurling/spit sound would rock <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

You mean a sort of "hoc too-ee" sound? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

nicuss

bilebombs are being shot straight, they don't fall like they did before. so you kinda have to jump and shoot down, or shoot a wall, or aim directly at a building. and they are moving slooooow... weird <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Kenichi

they move so slow its as if there is some force on the receiving end that is repelling it.

MagiTek

I really think that the aliens need some way to counter minespam, short of "taking the hit". Gorge spit, with its increased ROF, seems ideal.

Infected_Marine

I believe it was the intention to make it so that aliens couldn't set off mines with any abilities, but it sounds like BB are messed up.

Personally I think that it would make sense that BBs are the only thing that can take out mines, but I wouldn't think that would be balanced personally (or the other way around, depending on your perspective).

Nope. Nothing blows up mines at this point in the game. I've spent many sessions devoted soley to mine experiements. Parasite, spit, web, bilebomb, acid rocket, spikes, spores, umbra, etc, etc, etc won't blow mines up.
