friendly fire > acid > getting left behind > seems to be all the most common.

Queen screeches, and friendly fire usually get me. Other things include lucky alien decaps and body blocking from both marines and aliens.

The screech is number one. Half the time it won't affect me in the game, but I'll lag long enough that'd I'd just stand there as a perfect target and get put in pain-crit. Number two is running in like an idiot. I look at a situation and I tell myself that I'd die, but then I do it anyway. Then I complain about how it was the Xeno's meta that really did me in. Third is just regular-ass Xeno meta, no heroics involved.

Coward marines pussying out of of something/not helping that could easily be some dead benos while we still have the local superiority because they are scared, command/SL being stupid so that we are getting defeat in detail'd.

Again; Friendly fire, friendly body blocking/shitty intent, screeches.

That's pretty much it. Yesterday an elite runner almost got my ass of himself though.

Bullshit FF, bodyblocks, Crushers and their "anti-bodyblock" offensive tool + incredibly high tackle rate + stomp combo, getting overdosed by five medics, getting my armor stripped by a medic then dying later on because they didn't put my armor or gun back on me and I couldn't fight off a xeno, and getting facehugged then left behind by marines while stunned. Those have been happening to me a fair amount lately.

From time to time I run out into the dark hoping to get attacked by a wandering Lurker, Runner, Warrior or Defender. Sometimes I fuck up and die or a Spitter finds me instead and spams neuro at me until I go horizontal and then destroys me while I'm stunned.

Fuck these people who do this there's a special place in hell for both the people who do it AND thought it was a good idea for them to have such a good invisibility ability
Also crushers bumping me and locking me in place while spam tackling while a boiler sprays me and then the crusher stomps me and I get sprayed again all while being unable to move due to the crusher bump-locking me and pushing me around like a ping pong ball

Today I just died to this;

Two ravagers were kicking some retarded baldies going danger close with SMG's and regular rifle, with a runner and some garbage castes close, young sentinels and defenders.

So I ran without my armor and with my BC cuckshot and an alien mine, deployed it and baited one of the two ravagers, it charged me and for some reasons managed to charge me through the alien mine. Which resulted in myself being knocked down with a massive chest wound by a rest-sprite ravager. I eventually got up, pointblanked it, ran away, ran back to it, pointblanked it again and it died.

In the meanwhile, one of the baldies was brave enough to pewpew with his stock SMG in my back.

Then a warrior poped out of nowhere, didn't really care. Thought I could sprint in, get the mine again (as the ravager got gibbed, btw, 2 BC PB kills, remember kids).

Figures I could not because the baldo marine and the SECOND with a regular rifle appeared did not help! Picture it in your mind, the warrior grabs me, steps back slowly while chopping me and the two charlie dumb fucks kept clutching BACK AND FORTH, while being TWO, against a SINGLE -BUSY- WARRIOR.


Expect me to be hateful when we're told to rely on other people when you actually can NOT.

SD, screech and suicide in the nest, in this very order.

Most of my deaths are in SD because I've been playing support roles a lot lately.

Defenders and ravagers always manage to get me somehow. The ravagers' ability to cut arms and legs off always makes me want to stay as far away from them as possible.

Pounce crap, direct gas hits, being cut off or abandoned by people literally in view who just run off if you get downed instead of trying to save you.

FF is usually just something to damage or hurt me, but not kill.

Oh, and running around alone. Always a risk if you run into a very greedy, faster, or stronger alien who prefers fight over flight.

I see a guy following me and I know they see the xeno so I assume that this'll be jolly cooperation in purging the xenos.

It's never jolly cooperation.
Troublesome, as usual.

Usually it's my own incompetence that get's me and others around me killed, I do try my best all the time it's just usually my best amounts to literally blowing myself and a couple others up with me because the cargo techs figured it would be a good idea to give me grenades.

It's never a good idea to give me grenades, Or anything sharper than a butter knife really and even that might be too much.
