How long were you standing up? The picture shows a xeno spamming disarm.

He did spam disarm, but even when I stood up I was unable to walk away. There were times I was standing up 3-4 tiles and unable to walk/move away. It was like I was attached to him like I was an object. I couldn't even punch the alien when I stood up. Something with the Alien grab caused me to be unable to move.

Are you positive the alien didn't reinforce it's grab? They can do that now you know.

Not for long, we're removing that ability from xenos.

He may have reinforced his grab, but I couldn't resist out of it. Which is probably what happened, if it's not meant to be something you can ever get out of.

Just fyi resisting out of an aggressive grab is RNG, currently at roughly one in three chance to break the grab each try.

Ah really? I assume it's a bug then, I enjoyed it as it actually allowed me to drag hosts back to the hive if I spent enough time reinforcing the grabs. Hope it's implemented in a different manner instead then.

I experienced a variation of this bug. After getting aggressively grabbed by a Xeno, and hugged, knocked out, then nested... After waking up, I was unable to resist from being nested. I was in paincrit while lying in the nest, not sure if that prevented me from resisting too. Same "You can't resist in your current state." message pops up while trying to resist in the nest while awake, but was in pain crit and stammering.
