Only that fatass slow alien can make stuff.

Resources will pile up on their own, providing you have resource towers made by those fatass aliens.

It tells you how many resources you need when you try to build/evolve.

all upgrades - 2 res.
lerk - 30 res.
fade - 50 res.

Onos was 100 in 2.0... I'm not sure what it is now. I don't see any reason why they would change it, though.

You get resources faster depending on the amount of Resource towers your team possesses. If your res is slow get more resource towers and defend the ones you have.
Don't forget you get res for kills as well.

Only the Gorge (Fatass alien) can make towers.


And I mostly play as a marine. Always have since the release of 1.0. I just suck as an alien.

lol, hurt your feelings eh?

Well, in 3.0, tab shows score/kills/deaths. Im usually #1 now, so no one has the authority to call me a newb

Gorge is fun, just sneak around to places marines dont expect you, build a few Ochambers, so they cant rush you while you work, and begin your horror. I never play anything else as a alien, I always gorge, because most people are res whores.

Marines have hand nades now. preety damn cool. Your an alien running around, then you hear a pin drop, and your like ..

A real shame that they show kills and deaths now. I've already seen some competition within my team and people going "OMG u r teh nub u hav teh low k:d ratio!1111!one" to someone who is playing as a Gorge and getting all the res nodes capped and secured. One of the worst things they could've done to this game is bring the CS '1337' attitude in.

Onos is 100 res.
Hive is 40 res.

Tips :

If you happen to be a Gorge and an alien starts biting you/hititng you etc it's an indication to heal him/her.

At the start of the round as an Alien, cap a resource tower.

Don't go commander if you haven't got a clue on what you're doing.

As a Lerk, be supportive, Umbra your fellow aliens.

Always drop a Defense Chamber as the 1st Chamber.

Don't join marines instantly expecting to get HA and a SG. (Heavy Armour and Shotgun)

When you have the web abillity as gorge, set it along the floor so it's harder for marines to see.

You can kill a skulk in less that 15 bullets. Don't spray and pray.

Follow your Commanders orders and waypoints.

When you have Heavy Armour ALWAYS keep your fellow Heavies Welded.

If the Fade or Onos starts to run away, chase it. It's on low health

Cover your teamates! if your buddy is knifing a Resource Tower, cover his ass.

A level 2 lmg can kill a fade in 1 clip.

Your knife is your freind.

You slowly gain resources over time. The more towers you have the faster it goes up. You don't get an immediate bonus for capping a node.
