Ancient Lurk bois and runners

[David Stormwell]

How do you kill somthing faster then a bullet?

Without a firing line

[DefinitelyAlone0309]

Kill all the queens and the drones, and ensure that the hive doesn't have the supply for those anymore and let them die on queen timer. Also, a lurker isn't really that fast without Frenzy.

Claymore delivery service? What is your problem?

Two way: put claymore somewhere

Dodge the pounce and PB them with buckshot

[DriedMilk]

Ancient runners are easy to kill

Ancient lurkera get ballsy like retards and die

[TrollerNoob]

Runner - Just PB buckshot him, literally that simple.
Lurker - If the lurker has more has more than 5 iq, it'll just stay out of range, land a pounce and kill you before you even get up. It might even tackle, so in this scenario -- doj and buckshot, or if you're a pulsey boi, use AP while running away towards the nearest marine you can trust.

[Mister Jeether]

Ancient runner is pretty easy to kill, really. Just shoot It or pointblank It.

Ancient lurkers survive a PB, and can be a living demon If they are smart. Usually, the best way to kill them is trapping It in a corner, surrounding It, then rape It with AP and grenades.

Grenadier Spec plays a important role Here, If they survive long enough, that is. Just stunlock It to death.

[Grubstank]

bit of a niche solution and more for lurkers than runners, but I've had good luck as a smartgunner with an M39 + AP-- the night vision and fast move speed can pretty much let you bully xenos, so long as you're decent at dodging skillshots. You're still not much of a match if they decide to run away, but what lurker is going to run from a lone unga with an M39? Extra effective on narrow maps with a lot of unopened doors/dead ends, such as prison station.

That being said, it's pretty high risk and the marines are down an SG if you fuck up, so there is that. And this doesn't really have application to the average PFC either.

Realistically? Dodge the pounce and get lucky with the PB buck

it aint my fault you said "ancient alien"

its easy enough to PB a runner, they're barely a threat as is

lurkers are a threat 1v1 and this much is guaranteed, they're probably the only caste you'll have trouble 1v1ing if you're good at keeping your distance and capitalizing on cooldowns

[Simo94]

as Master Splinter from TMNT taught me once, if you cant catch something, let it to come to you.

[simonset55]

Big cheese strategy, get a hunting trap from the northeast temple at LV or kill a pred.

Then you just run around with that activated in your hand, when the runner/lurker pounces you they get snared and you just get up and PB the hoe.

How bout, 1v2 One unga vs 2 lurk bois

[Gigazer]

How bout, 1v2 One unga vs 2 lurk bois

Oh god! I'm getting PTSD all over again!!!!!

[Gnorse]

flamers, chief.
land a direct hit and you're fucking set. Just chase that hoe and PB it when it resists.
Bonus points if you have a pair of binocs.

Well you're dying unless they both miss their pounce

[KingKire]

Help intent shake up marines, and squads of 3 people.

Turns a 6 second long knock out into a 1 second. Now instead of 2v1, you can do 3v1 and fuck that lurker up.

Lights/ flares are another good way to stop pouncers. Not just where the enemy likes to attack at, but perferably 3-4 screens around where they want to attack at. If lurkers/ runners cant use darkness to get away from angry marines, they will get fucked up ( no time to heal/Recharge plasma) . a dead mature alien is worth more than 1-2 dead marines by such a large margin its not even funny.
