Least robust moment.

[Moon Tune]

We have threads for robust moments and robust people, so why not have one for those moments of utter incompetence, bad luck or unrobustness?

Confess moments of unrobustness of yourself and others in this thread.

Waiting for about 15 minutes in the locker
said fuck it and made a brake for it to LZ1 to die in glory'

Get slashed to shit while the xenos were dancing on my body

[Doktor710]

A thing which happened right now... I am an elite hunter, a bit left to become Ancient one, marines are retreating to dropship, we are getting there, I am coming inside alone to kill the pilot and they are closing shutters... I am trying to stay alive, running around, PO shot two Marines with his own shotgun, I hit one Marine in the head aaand... getting shot and dying...

[Boltersam]

*Bonk!*
You know what happens next.

[Martzin]

insta-pounced, slashed, crusher charged, queen screeched, neuro-spat and dragged away, rav charged, corro-acid spat, boiler gassed, face-hugged, sticky resin-stuck, FF'd, and left for dead
dont rambo, kids. it can only end one way.

[spartanbobby]

One time I was fighting a runner and somehow managed to point blank myself with a buckshot shotgun.

[Tidomann]

PMC gives me a grenade. I'm a doctor. Tells me to follow him. I have my surgical tools in a bag in my other hand and a stretcher in my backpack. Enough oxy and anesthetic in a hypospray.

He goes down a ladder. I click it. Oops, I had the grenade hand targeted.

[Zokkie]

Retreating from a xeno through hydro while shooting a pistol to keep him away.
I misclick on a table, and gently lay the pistol on the table because of that.
Without realizing I am now trying to shoot the xeno with my non-existing pistol.
Xeno sees me fucking up and goes in for the kill.

[Sargeantmuffinman]

As a standard, I accidentially threw my shotgun instead of pumping it at a hunter. I still lived but that was embarrassing.

[SagaSword]

I setup the OB in the wrong direction so it annihilated the whole marine army instead of the actual assaulting aliens. I got a good laugh outta that. (pls dn't bannu meh it was a long tiem ag0 n' i was on drugs!)

[Casany]

I have two unrobust sniper moments...

The first one was about a week ago, when I was just sniping in hydro. They were advancing but I was keeping them at a distance, when I accidentally hit R. I didn't notice, and I was scoped in, tried to fire at a boiler and instead threw my sniper right at a spitter. I lost that sniper.

The second was recently, where I attempted to field strip my sniper so I could get the gyro I had off of it. Long story short I missclicked and shot right into my squad. It misses 4 marines and plants itself right in the SLs chest.

[Renomaki]

I had many, but if there is one thing that makes me salty, it is priming a grenade... Only to be spat down and blown up by my own grenade..

Talk about hoisting oneself by their own petard...

[Scrat505]

Played a bounty hunter event char who was rescued from the planet, got talking to the CL and it eventually came to the topic of hush money. She refused to pay me any and said that I'd be killed right here in the office if I refused to clam up.

Smoothly stand up and get face to face with her, take the glass I was drinking from, and try to smash it over her head with harm intent.

(Background info: The server I used to play on, Paradise Station, lets you do this, but not CM)

Start trying to feed it to her. She steps back and pulls a gun on me, so I rush her and try to disarm the gun. Chased her around the room while every single of the 7 disarms I got in failed. Get killed.

rip.

[Monoo]

Getting a perfect distraction while nested, standing up, ready to unleash hell on the vulnerable aliens around me...

...and throwing my rifle, which then bonked uselessly off of one of the drones shortly before I was tacklespammed into oblivion.

Point blank FFing three people in a row with buckshot.

Whacking xenos with a shotgun I forgot to load.

[Skimmy2]

Was Bravo Squad Lead and ordered to make FOB.

Bravo makes FOB.
Bravo shoots at walls in FOB out of boredom.
Bravo Private attempts suicide out of boredom.
Bravo private gets shot by accident out of boredom.
Alpha Charlie Delta kill last of Xenos.

10/10 we robusted a FOB

[Nick123q23]

Anytime I play Predator. No seriously, I've gotten so unrobust recently that it's not even funny.

Doesn't help that my mouse is dying, apparently.

[NGGJamie]

Be me playing PFC
Shotgun loaded with slugs because slugs are fun as hell.
Internet decides to lag horribly this day, 2000+ms ping to my router
Xeno comes up and attacks my squaddie, I try to step to the right once and fire with a proper line of sight.
Network lag, step right twice with one press
mfw I shoot a slug point back into my squaddie's back and the runner runs away.
mfw I get called a baldie and try to explain in LOOC my internet's lagging and I'm not being a shitter

he then spends most of the round in medbay. I FF many more times that round and just give up for the day after I die.

[Dolth]
