If you stab the face of a hugged human, hugger dies.

[Heckenshutze]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): We all know, if a human gets hugged and you stick your knife and stab the face, You'll only hurt the player and the hugger will stay intact. Why?

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Counter-attack for that hugger tactic, lowers salt from friendly kill

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Aren't you tired of getting your face sliced to shreds because some boot tried to kill the hugger on your face but it actually killed you? Still, this tactic makes sense.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Devs.

But, then there'd be acid all over the guy!

Melting said guy to death.

[Heckenshutze]

But, then there'd be acid all over the guy!

Melting said guy to death.

If they shake you up, you can self stab the hugger and you won't suffer dmg. Why not a third party to do it for you then?

[Sargeantmuffinman]

Oh i'm not talking about the stabber, I'm talking about the hugged marine, it'd melt his face off.

[Heckenshutze]

Oh i'm not talking about the stabber, I'm talking about the hugged marine, it'd melt his face off.

Again. if you can stab your own face to kill the hugger and not melt your face off, Why then a third party can't do it for you?

[Steven Sneider]

you cant stab the hugger ,in all cases it will kill you.

[Heckenshutze]

you cant stab the hugger ,in all cases it will kill you.

Have you actually done it? I did. You stick your knife and click the hugger on the mask slot.

[Sarah_U.]

Corroder when.

Because it's not an actual mechanic, it's a bug.

[Heckenshutze]

Because it's not an actual mechanic, it's a bug.

It's a nice bug actually. I mean, it does no harm to the game, you still need to be shaken a few times to get up and do it.

EDIT: Maybe we can make it an actual mechanic, giving a chance to melt your face and get the "Unknown" title on your mob. Giving Mid-High burn dmg, just like acid blood works.

Really, I'd like to discuss reworking it so you can't "wake up hugged marines".

[Crab_Spider]

Really, I'd like to discuss reworking it so you can't "wake up hugged marines".

Is that a glitch or feature?

[NoahKirchner]

Really, I'd like to discuss reworking it so you can't "wake up hugged marines".

If you rework it, can you remove the damage from removing huggers off of the face to sort of curb hugger combat? Cuz that's the only reason people do it.

[MrJJJ]

Agreed, if removing it didin't do much (so much that if you have any previous damage, it breaks your skull, or even better, decaps you) i don't think people would use this method, and makes any hug have a chance to fuck you over, even after previous medical care.

[Butterrobber202]

Really, I'd like to discuss reworking it so you can't "wake up hugged marines".

Then the marines will be fucked. Because the hugger can and will break your skull bones

[Lucius Jones]

-1, melty face is not good for you health, and again it's a bug.

[JackStorm]

-1 because

melty face is not good for you health

[Edgelord]

I'd only support this if it did severe acid damage to the head. It's lore breaking enough that we can remove them (not complaining) but stabbing a fucking acid creature that is hitched to your buddy's face is just a bad move.

[Tristan63]

-Cough cough- "Hey jim theirs a thing coming at your face!"
"What!?"
"Look out!" -Jim "Twitch" Sanders has been stabbed in the head by Benjamin Werry!
Jim "Twitch" Sanders has been stabbed in the head by Benjamin Werry!
Jim "Twitch" Sanders has been stabbed in the head by Benjamin Werry!
Jim "Twitch" Sanders has been stabbed in the head by Benjamin Werry!
"Its dead jim!"
-Jims head rolls around-


Acid for blood wanker

Just take the facehugger off and stab it. I know there will be a instant field combat that the marine doesn't want to pull back the marine from the combat just to take off the facehugger and instead just stab the the hugger in the face while realistically, you would never absolutely stab a hugger on the marine in the face. A marine would have to stop and think these questions.

• Does the said marine knows that facehuggers are strong enough to stop the knife from penetrating to the nose of the victim?
• Is there a stronger spot for facehugger to withstand the penetration & die without hurting the victim?
• (When you learn of acid) What if I kill this victim because the facehugger spill acid all over the victim's face?
• Am I just being too lazy and not being conservative & perseverance enough to take off the facehugger rather putting victim's health in risk?

You will understand why in terms of psychology, a marine would hesitate to stab a marine's face and throw away your entire career because you thought it was a good idea to kill a comrade to take down a facehugger. This is not sacrificing. It's murder.

[KingKire]

+1 to the suggestion:
- people should be able to "cut" off a hugger from a marine.
- marine should have a chance of acid damage to the face, either light or possibly face disfiguring
-Hugged marines should have the huggers tooken off before they can wake up also sounds better overall/ makes more sense.

[forwardslashN]

This is problematic for a few reasons, such as stabbing the marine's face instead, and whatever lore reasons. Denied for now.
