Groin/head if you're aiming to kill or hands if you're trying to capture. Anywhere else is just inefficient.

Who bought body armor that doesn't protect the body seeing as everything below the ribs is stuffed in that zone.

If you're a warrior, aim for the groin and exclusively use punch. Nothing else.

The Marine may survive, but their dick won't.

I always aim either for the head or the hands. They can't shoot you if they can't hold their guns.

Groin for seriously wounding a marine and holding up medbay while they fix bones, organs and tox damage. Heck you may get lucky and tox kill some poor marine and have medical give up on him.

Hands / Arms for crippling marine pushes and most of them will be ineffective after the splints fall off and the pain racks up.

Feet / Legs for when you want to feel like a xeno sniper and watch marines expend more and more resources pulling more and more marines who have lost the ability to walk due to pain.

If someone doesn't have a helmet on, make a habit of switching to the head. Otherwise, target groin.

Groin, if you are trying to delimb as rav then head or hands. Missing a hand is a guaranteed trip back up.

Hands. Just keeps them from using from shotties. Perfection.

If no head protection, obv head. Those "cool" looking marines are dead meat.

Feet. Not due to efficiency or anything, but purely for psychological effect. Marines coming up to medbay with missing arms and hands is normal. But an endless parade of one-legged marines hopping into medbay makes all the doctors wonder what kind of horrific foot-fetish lizards they're fighting down there.
So basically aim for the feet to troll?

I just go for the legs, because even if the broken bone gets splinted ya still are gonna move slow. splint an arm and your good as new.

In my rare time where I play xeno. I just switch depending of how much damage my caste can deal and enemy type. Many snowflakes are helmetless. So head. Torso in general with matyre lurkers and above, then just legs.

All armor protects the groin and protects it the same amount as it does the chest.

Take the feet. Can't run without feet, and Idk bout that one Spooky. I have better odds breaking the groin than the chest.

I think you just broke every xeno main groin's fetichisms.

You all got taken in by a meme someone started because I checked the revision history and it's basically always been like this.

It's alright. At some point marines didn't aim the head at all because one staff member said it dealt more damage to ravager. No. Totally not.

if you're faster than a marine, hands
you'll be able to get more hits on them even if they try to run, and they're less likely to be in a position to bap you with a shotgun
if you're slower than a marine, feet
damaged feet make them run away slower, allowing you to more easily run away/chase them

if you're on the defensive you want to hit hands (ex. defensive queen screeching, rav defending) so less people are in a position to push

if you have really high damage you can aim for eyes/head for extra decap chance if that tickles your fancy
I play Xeno 99% of the time. All castes.

Groin is best.

Once you cut off an arm or hand (or any limb) and you have high accuracy you’ll slash nothing. Groin means you’ll finish the job, plus the organ damage is great. IB in the groin also helps!

So last night I went toe to toe with a marine carrying a pulse rifle and a shotgun as an elite runner in a 1 on 1 situation
It took at least 5 leg hits on his right leg to cripple it, then another 5 hits on his left leg to down him. Afterwards it took at least 5 hits on his chest to kill him.

However the marine was decently robust and did keep me at bay because he had a mag harness on his shotgun, so not sure if he gave himself healing with a first aid injector and pain stop.
