What's The Hitbox Like On Marine Rt's?

If a skulk is behind the RT correctly, it's quite possible that you WON'T be able to shoot him without running behind it and exposing your fleshy bits to an attack. You CAN shoot through the legs. It's possible to Shoot a skulk biting on the bottom post of the RT from the other side - it's not quite wide enough to cover the skulk. Try using your pistol and aiming for the edges. If a skulk gets laterally behind the middle part of the RT, however, you'll probally have a heck of a time killing him alone. Best to bring help. Have one marine walk up to the RT, dislodge the skulk, get killed, and have the other one shoot it.

a rumor is that if you crouch you're more able to shoot through the legs. i don't know if this is true, but i use it anyway.

is there a fix for this hitbox coming?

That's true if they are near the ground, a good skulk knows how to **** a rt hitbox for maximum defense so that trick doesn't work.

If you happen to have a hand grenade, use it.

I always try to shoot a bit around the skulk's model. That means don't aim at the skulk, aim a bit outside of the model as the hitbox is squarish anyway and covers parts outside the model.

Often shooting a bit over the top or bottom of the visual model seems to yield positive results - but this is more trial and error, not any scientific method. Very often I'll see a set of sparks but get a kill by just pistoling the damn thing.

On the bright side, there is an infallible way to kill Skulks hiding inside one of their own nodes <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Which is know by far less people. I love to hide in rt and wait to marine to come knife it(hopefully he dont see you inside of the rt) And if he sees you you have easy time to kill him due the even more bugged hitbox of alien rt....

[Deleted User] · November 2004

Who says you have to even throw the grenade? If the skulk runs out from the node at the sound of your priming, then objective accomplished and you can shoot him.

I would also like to know how to kill a skulk (Or gorge, in my case) hiding in a kharaa RT.

Post a topic in Kharaa Strategy about it. =P

Shoot the RT? Or if it's a gorge just knife him.. he'll fall out because of the knockback.

Like that <a href='http://membres.lycos.fr/choc/skulkbitertgood.jpg' target='_blank'>?</a>

Drop a hand grenade at the base of the RT from a distance. By the time the skulk realizes that there's a grenade there or is getting there, one half to one second has passed, giving the skulk only two seconds to escape; and two seconds is still within a "leathal" area of the blast.

You win.

Cerebral · November 2004

walk up to the rt crouch and aim directly at the middle base post...spam your lmg and it will kill him 90% of the time...the hb for the center post is decieving and something about the lmg spread will cause it to hit him on either side of it if you just aim for the middle

Here's what it shows in HLMV (sorry for bad quality jpg):

im_lost · November 2004

I thought HLMV was useless for showing NS hitboxes.

tuemmykids · November 2004

Well, I don't know any other way to show hitboxes.
