Can hide under alien corpses by grabbing them.

Post by poopbutt69 » 20 Dec 2016, 18:19

Bug Description:
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but im guessing it is. There are really big alien corpses like ravagers or preatorians, and you can hide under them by grabbing them. Aliens see alien corpses in their alien vision, so they have no way of seeing you. You could hide under a preatorian corpse with a buckshot or a grenade launcher or something and just wait and kill people that get near you without knowing your under these giant sprites.

Steps to reproduce:
1. find an alien corpse, any will do but bigger ones are better to hide under
2. grab it, aggressive grab it, then choke grab it
3. you're under an alien corpse and are unseeable, and impossible to target unless the alien uses alt+click or tries to push you out from under.

Yeah i would also say this is a feature, and very useful for setting up sneaky ambushes, turning the tables on the xenos

Not a feature? well, good luck making ayyliens tiny again

This place would be so much better if marines were replaced with cyborgs, atleast those would follow orders. assuming there was a rule forcing them to do so...

Can't reproduce, grabbing a dead praetorian doesn't show the corpse on top of it, it's always below. Humans and xenos both see the corpse below the grabber.
