Remove Crusher's ability to hold items

[UltimateShrekFan]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The crusher is a quadruped, it doesn't have hands. Enough said, really. Crushers are an offensive support caste, they already have a pretty big advantage considering their chance to deflect bullets and ability destroy barricades.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It will balance the game a little bit more. It makes no sense why a 4 legged animal can hold things. It makes sense that they can pull things if you imagine they drag them with their mouth, but the ability to hold things does not make a lick of sense.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

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

This falls under the whole "hugger combat" problem tbh.

who said the crusher wasn't holding things on it's arms and balancing them? it's possible to flip a face hugger onto its shoulder or arm and flip them off onto a host's face, or instead of putting it on a marine the face huggers jump from the crusher onto the marine

While I don't like hugger combat, I get it. But Crushers not just flat out killing any huggers they pick up is beyond me.

So Xenos get a carrier caste and a carrier-lite caste?

How on earth would you balance huggers on your shoulders, and why would a hugger even want to?

[UltimateShrekFan]

Also the crusher wouldn't have the dexterity to put them on it's shoulders

The huggers do.

ie:All the crusher needs to do is stay still while the huggers climb on.

And then they either fly off as it charges or splat against the wall and die after the crusher hits something

You know how tightly huggers hold onto faces?

Now they do that to the dorsal tubes.
