Carrier direct hits not planting hugger on face.

[outordinary]

Bug Description:
Hitting a marine directly square in the face with a hugger doesn't hug it, only has the hugger drop and still get stunned.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Be carrier
2. Direct hit a marine (You throw facehugger at Joe Shlomo!) or (You throw facehugger at weeds behind Joe Shlomo!)
3. Watch as the hugger drops and he kills it due to long ass hugger stun time
4. Get burstfired on with all shots critting you since you don't deflect anymore
5. . . . GG

Pretty sure this is intended. Huggers thrown by a carrier get stunned for a short period before it can infect.

Wait really? What's the use of the carrier then? You would pretty much just bring huggers to an area where the queen isn't at. Any attempt to fight marines with huggers would just result in the above.

area denial, infecting hosts other xenos have knocked down, etc. There are various roles a carrier can play now.

Carriers aren't designed to be AWPs, buddy.

It's intentional.

I liked the glass cannon role it had before, but if that is how its going to go fine by me. Just weakens it to me. Squishy and weak it is!

Literally become a minelayer. Or a bait layer.

Place hugger in door frame, find a jarhead dueling smgs and let them shoot you a little. Then laugh as they chase you through the door way and get raped.
