    Xenos rushing armories and making it impossible for survivors.

    This wasn't a problem 1 or 2 weeks ago, but now its in almost every survivor round I play or spectate. Certain xeno will leave the hive while still in the larva stage or as soon as they evolve into tier 1 and rush any known survivor hotspot. Using meta info to get some easy kills and captures. While I understand that's the point of being a xenomorph, capturing and killing everything, it's gotten to the point that survivor is actually unplayable. It will legit just frustrate you and be a waste of time.

    Giving survivors weapons round start was supposed to fix it.

    The issue is, the random job selection (on top of the RNG of being lucky enough to get survivor) might shit on you and give you Assistant, or SALESMAN, which means you start off with a fucking BRIEFCASE.

    Not only is this deterimental to survival, and shitty game design, this also doesn't explain how said survivor actually SURVIVED the inital xenomorph invasion, considering the fact that if you don't have a weapon or special skills, there is no way you'd live.

    You encapsulate my feeling on it completely.

    Briefcase is enough to kill yourself and it's the best thing you can do by denying possibility of hive getting a lot larvaes.

    Git Gud. If you cant beat a runner to death with a briefcase you shouldnt be playing survivor. Let a real robusto have the slot.

    Thanks, but this is not Acid Goop.

    I do agree that survivor is rather boring role to play in the end, even before what's described above. The actual methods for surviving are to either hide in a locker, which is extraordinarily boring, or holding a pre-determined spot on the map. Could be more interesting if there were a few more survivors with not enough shotguns for everyone, forcing for some different defense strats.

    Nightmare LV scenario where Survivors spawn at the North Cave Lake with 2 lines of cades is the most interesting usage of Survivor mechanic ive seen in a long time.

    More nightmare scenarios like that, like a small UPP / CLF outpost, etc. would be great.

    Survivor isn't about the payout of surviving. Making it to when marines land is the most boring part unless you are going hostile. The fun of survivor comes from actually beating back those persistent xenos, and even if you fail at that, you get even more satisfaction from killing yourself and putting all their efforts to waste.
