Xenos on Big Red

[Reuben Owen]

discuss your impressions and strategies of xenos on the big red map

this map is pretty different from anything we've had before

good drones are a lot more important here compared to lv624, as weeds need to be spread in a lot more areas... even though theres less actual area to cover, it seems like a lot more due to being cut off from all the buildings, at the same time this "cut-offness" pushes marines to be more cohesive due to the fact they can't really run in any direction as far as they want

i like it its neat gud map

I tend to use the cave systems a lot. Because it's too tight for Marines to strategise within them and it's good for Ravs to insta-decap marines that fall over due to Queen Memescreech which is also handy.

Lambda Lab or Research Lab are both very good locations for a xeno hive, they are confusing, big and alot of marines never get to it most of the time, it has very few flanking spots to attack it from as well, being in the corner of the map.

Assaults are also now much harder due to MG nests and big amount of ground, which equals insane amount of firepower being fired back at you, forcing xenos to be patient and make marines be the ones impatient instead of just using a crusher + boiler + queen and just waiting until they win.
