Aiming With Devour

XShrike

<div class="IPBDescription">Search wasnt working</div> What part of the ono do you aim devour with? Is it the tip of the horn or do you cover the marine with the whole horn?

hello

with devour it works best to crouch infront of the marine and the aim at then like there was crosshairs in the screen


make sense?

devour and stomp go hand in hand, and if you have problems with devour then don't use it unless your target is stomped, then move up to the running devour etc


you also have to be decently close, and not to far away for devour to be succesfull

And as for search, both work for me, but some people can't use the upper one, so use the bottom one. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Basically, try to keep the marine in the centre of the screen.

I find aiming for the lower legs or stomach is the best idea. Try it, see what works.

you have to aim at the marine where your crosshair would be if you had one with devour. what's easiest is to scotch tape your screen and draw a crosshair on it. you will never miss

Or aim for their right thigh (from your perspective) with the tip of the horn. This makes where the crosshair would be, be in their abdomen.

Thanx for the help, I usually have to play gorge or other support roles because noone else wants to. So, I dont get a lot of practice.

You have to aim at the feet in order to devour them

Well, i just crouch and face the marine, then devour.. Works every time <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

stopm makes things a lot easier, and you have to bel close, though, having said that, i have devoured a marine when he was about 5 feet away. running. away. fast.

haven't done it again yet, i believe the phrase is "fluke"

Zig

well yeah, to describe something that doesn't happen very often.. or happened seemingly by accident

but yeah, devour has some kickass range that you don't really consider.

Few things more annoying than nearly finishing a hive with a jetpack/shotgun, only to be devoured by a magical rubber-necked onos from five metres away. =|

Most people are correct, but some arent.

If there was a crosshair in the center of your screen, thats where you aim. Its like using the knife, right? Aim in the center of your screen. Make sure marine is in center of screen.

BattleTech

Look at their feet, that's what I do. Though I still wish they'd remove the delays between switching skills.

xhair = devour hax

For me, the most important part has been realizing the very short range of devour. It's definitely shorter than gore, you'll have to almost touch your target. A crouching marine is very hard to get if you're not crouching yourself.
The range is still longer than some marines think though, which can lead to very fun situations.
Cloaked devour is fun. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
