Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
The same way a spitter gets to switch spit types.

I'm neutral to the idea. As it stands, I see soldiers get knocked down from it by pain alone.

[Deadlymight]

The boiler is supposed to be a "glass cannon". So he shouldn't wander off alone in the first place. He should always have an alien to back him up incase of "ballsy marines".

[orelbon]

the spray only goes out for like 4 or 3 tiles it's not long range, and is only effective when someone gets close i dont see them problem. Boilers dont always have back up when needed by the way, earlier today the hive was getting over run so i had to break away and start flaking from the back, someone saw me and started to chase me but i was able to get away, the point is it only works when a marine is dumb enough to get close to a boiler in which case they can either get acid sprayed or neuro toxed.

it actually travels six tiles.

[orelbon]

Huh i've never used it and seen it travel that far i'll go check.

[ZDashe]

6 tiles is the max range. Usually I use it as corridor denial, because vet marines would be smart to run away from the trajectory.

That pain crit from getting hit directly is no joke. You fall to the ground and get boiled a bit more in acid if no one drags you off... Doesn't really need a neurotoxin version of it as long as you hit the target.

-1 the boiler is meant to be a t3 sniper and weak. This would provide a knock-down exploit.

[Infernus]

They are for sieges, not front line attacking.
Locked.
