Predator Punches don't do damage to Aliens

Post by Boltersam » 22 Sep 2016, 11:38

Bug Description: The punches don't do any damage, it was mentioned to me by EenKogNeeto that they don't do it, and I performed a test.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Punch an Alien as a Predator
2. Ask them to say if their health has changed
3. No change.

An attack doing no damage. Must be a feature.

Sometimes the wrist shanks aren't an answer, simply because you want to take something alive or humiliate it rather than outright kill it.

Critting.

But again, an attack is supposed to do damage. That's the whole point of an attack.

I suppose, and I apologise for still being nit picky...

But don't aliens die in crit?

Invalid, they do inflict damage. Not much of it, however. I might see to change that.
