PSA: Crushers aren’t in a good place.

[Gnorse]

Frenzy is borked to hell and back. Runners with frenzy can run FASTER than an M41A bullet. Just imagine what it would do to a crusher.

Roughly between three to five shot's with a M41A to put them in crit depends on the xeno tier,upgrade and if your using AP or not, crushers are the sole "Tanky" xeno.

You've clearly never played marine before and you haven't played since the new crusher update. 3-5 shots from a M41A will NEVER put a crusher in crit, doesn't matter if it's AP, normal or incendiary ammo. Even before the update, this was never the case. Doesn't matter what upgrade tier either. Even a young will survive 3-5 shots of any ammo type.

Yeh, crusher charge still way too slow.

I've been through entire rounds in which I wasn't able to land a single ram and so most of my kills in those cases were tackle + stomp/pull + slash

If you've failed to hit people all round, you must be a pretty bad crusher, not gonna lie.

Crusher shouldn't work like... "ME CHARGE ON UNGAS, ME HIT THEM EVERY TIME", you just need to have good timing and/or luck and/or narrow corridors.

My dude just ask the queen to give you frenzy pheremones -- Your charge speed triples, it's honestly pretty dumb.

Good luck with having the queen do that before the rest scream at her to ward

Well, that's not exactly a PROBLEM, is it ? more of a xeno problem, to be honest.
as other folks said, xeno players are spoiled.

With the 3-5 shots I was not talking about crusher which was why I said they are the sole Tanky xeno, Scout spec can and will crit mature xeno with 2 shots, Flamethrower could kill off T1 or t2 xeno up to elite if they can't get away to a safe position to resist, Buckshot will crit a ancient bloody runner in one shot, and two shot a elite hunter this numbers are to put them in to crit not kill them, now I'm not including warding pheromones which why we might be getting different numbers, but generally xeno's are pretty squish solo exceptions being queen and crusher, their seem tanky due to the fact they regen and usual get out of danger pretty easily.

Edit: just realised my original post Not this one but the prior one was worded badly, what I get for writing something when I'm half asleep I also very likely misunderstood what I was replying to, going to leave this post here anyway so people can read my shity ranting

Yeah I never said Crusher needs a buff, oh God no, or that there should be a dev-level change to this alien. I'm just pointing out that Crusher's charge is very slow, that's all.

i played crusher a bit for the first time inlong time recently. some close calls, but if an amateur such as me can not get slaughtered too easily i guess its a tuff class again in my book
