Whiskey Outpost is an alternative map and game mode featured on Colonial Marines. On this map the crew of the USS Sulaco were forced to abandon ship, the survivors being able to rally to an abandoned military outpost. The Marines must hold out for a hour until reinforcements arrive to rescue them, the Aliens must wipe out the Marine force before more Marines arrive to their world. This is a fight for survival, and neither side can afford to give one quarter.  
''"In our attempts to establish a base on this planet, several of our patrols were wiped out by hostile creatures. We're setting up a distress call, but we need you to hold Whiskey Outpost in order for our engineers to set up the relay. [...] If they overrun your position, we will be wiped out with no way to call for help. '''Hold the line or we all die'''."'' ― Colonel Hans Naiche




=The Outpost=
'''Whiskey Outpost''' is an alternative map and game mode featured on CM-SS13 server. On this map, instead of playing the [[Marines|USCM]] in the battalion [[Lore_Home#United_States_Colonial_Marines|'Falling Falcons']] of the 4th brigade and the [[USS Almayer]], you'll either play as a USCM from the 3rd Battalion [[The Colonial Liberation Front#Backstory|'Dust Raiders']], led by Colonel Hans Naiche (Alternatively spelled as Naich) and Major Ike Saker in Planet LV-624, who are previously in charge of keeping the peace of the Neroid sector or the Xenomorphs whose task is to successfully wipe out the Marine forces in LV-624 by wiping out Whiskey Outpost to intercept the relay signal. It takes place five years before the arrival of the USS Almayer in the Neroid sector, taking place in 2181. The Dust Raiders had established a USCM presence in one of the major locations of the sector, including Whiskey Outpost.
==Whiskey Outpost==
The outpost is a heavily fortified military base. It is well situated as any attacks can only assault from the south of the base. The base is will equipped with a large array of automated sentry guns and mannable Smartgun weapon posts, however the base is not fully fortified for a incoming assault. The Marine forces will need to spend their time rapidly establishing barricades and similar defences before the vanguard xeno forces arrive.


However, the forces in LV-624 were soon under attack by [[Aliens|unrecognized alien forces]], with several patrols of marine units wiped out before the main invasion in Whiskey Outpost begins. The Dust Raider garrison stationed in LV-624 have no other choice but to send a distress signal to alert the remaining USCM reinforcements to their location. Before the distress signal can be launched, the Marines must hold out for 60 to 90 minutes or longer until engineers set up the relay so that reinforcements from Whiskey Outpost arrive to rescue the marines in LV-624, the Aliens must wipe out the Marine force before they set up the relays and repel the alien invasion force in LV-624. This is a fight for survival, and neither side can afford to give one quarter.


There are three main routes into the base. The west side, through a heavy jungle environment, the central area which is a mix of rivers, jungle and open terrain, and the east side through mostly open terrain broken up by dropship debris. Each entry way has two lines of defence, the first line which consists of barricades and manned Smartguns, and a second line which consists of a line of barricades and automated Sentry Guns.
 
=Whiskey Outpost=
''Whiskey Outpost'' is an outpost that's heavily fortified and used as a military base in the Neroid Rift Sector. Its situated in a valley which forces any hostiles to assault from the south of the base. The base is equipped with a large array of automated sentry guns and mannable smartgun defensive positions, however, the base is not adequately fortified for an incoming assault due to a lack of funding. The Marine forces will need to spend their time rapidly establishing barricades and similar defenses before the vanguard alien forces arrive.
 
 
The Defensive Positions are divided into 3 major areas and 2 minor areas:
==Major Areas==
 
*The '''west side''', '''Pillbox Burbon''', which is guarded by sentry guns and smartguns through a canal-based jungle environment
*The '''central side''', '''Pillbox Beer''', is where most of the action takes place through an open, heavily guarded environment guarded by several smartguns emplacements and a few automated sentries.
*The '''east side''', '''Pillbox Margarita''', is guarded with sandbags through a vast open terrain with a crashed dropship acting as cover.
 
==Minor Areas==
Both minor areas, '''Pillbox Wine''' (west) and '''Pillbox Wodka''' (east),  are guarded with only sentry guns, metal, and plasteel barricades. The middle area between Pillbox Beer and the former two pillboxes is the '''Triage''' pillbox, for emergency medical care.
[[File:Whiskey_outpost.png|right|400px|]]
[[File:Whiskey_outpost.png|right|400px|]]




The outpost itself is centred around a central medbay/command post. Surrounded by engineering areas and barracks. The outer perimeter of the outpost is surrounded by barricades and manned Smartgun emplacements. The medbay/command post entrance is guarded by an array of Sentry Guns and a Smartgun emplacement. The west side of the base also contains a resupply pad that will receive resupply crates.
The Outpost itself is at the north of the map, with the unique role of 'Honor Guard' to detect and protect the marine base and command staff against any threats that make it through the defenses. In addition, sentry turrets and smartgun emplacements help secure the base against the bug force. Medical has four autodoc stations as opposed to the standard one, due to the likelihood of fierce fighting and casualties. In addition, Engineering starts with four reactors to power the base defenses, leaving the squad engineers to construct field defenses. In CiC, the only difference is the communications consoles that can only be used for announcements and medal recommendations.
 
 
For the Xenomorphs, they start from the south of the map, covered in vine and grass, '''Here be Dragons'''.
 
 
==The Marines==
Unlike the Falling Falcons Marines who are stationed at the Almayer, the Dust Raider Marines are stationed at planetside - and will have different job changes. Much of the common roles remains unchanged and some are just renamed, however, there are a few roles that completely changes the role one way or another. Below here, are the major and minor changes between the roles.
 
Reinforcements from the 7th "Falling Falcons" Battalion will arrive during wave 7, which is the break wave. Each consisting a basic combat squad.


'''Take note that after the first wave of Xenomorphs arrive, you are not able to latejoin this round as a marine.'''


==The Lore==
'''Renamed Roles:'''
Whiskey Outpost, the Military facility nobody wants to be deployed to is surrounded in thick undergrowth and bushes like you've never seen before. According to the data logs before this area was a military base there was a small village, which help explains the remnants of metal structures in figure 1. The crashed dropship as seen in figure 1 was previously sent by the USS Alistoun to try and evac as many of the non-combat personnel as possible, however that didn't go according to plan; instead the pilot crashed after the dropship was hit by a cloud of acid during it's descent which dissolved most of the aft thrusters, causing the dropship to spiral out of control, plummeting towards the ground with the pilot and the relief forces still inside. Upon hearing the crash the defenders ran over to the crash site to try and save any possible survivors, although they all knew deep down what had become of the survivors if there were any.


Requisitions Officer > Quartermaster


The USS Alistoun was diverted from a previous mission to get to [Redacted], Whiskey Outpost which meant that they still had to refuel and repair all of their dropships except one. When the USS Alistoun arrived they only had one operational dropship with fuel which wasn't damaged too badly, this lead to it being sent to try and distribute relief forces at Whiskey Outpost and to evacuate any non-combat personnel possible; during it's descent however it was severely damaged and lost with all hands upon trying to get to Whiskey Outpost. Due to the loss of their dropship the USS Alistoun's crew were trying to repair the other remaining dropships and fighters as quickly as possible so that they could provide close air support (CAS) and also be ready to evacuate the Whiskey Outpost survivors before they were overrun. The USS Alistoun sent supplies down wherever possible using the Supply pad as a effective target for their crate drops, the reason why the crates received on that day were a random assortment were due to how the USS Alistoun was running out of supplies in general due to being deployed at a previous combat mission where the standard issue supplies had been used up pretty heavily.

The USS Alistoun is also loaded up with four HA-117 Stingray Combat Interceptor which is an advanced orbital fighter designed to attack and destroy battlecruiser class starships, their close air support tactics rely mainly on squad leaders using their laser designators to designate targets so they can lock on with their onboard computer, otherwise if they do it manually they run the risk of causing friendly fire.

You are the basic grunts of the operation. While large in numbers you are the main fighting force at the outpost. Use your strength and courage to hold off against the incoming attack. Rely on one another to ensure survival.  
The Marine forces don't feature any massively significant changes to their playstyle unlike the Xenomorphs, but there are some facets that are changed that will affect Marines slightly. Listed below are the most major changes to individual job roles.
|}


* '''Specialists''' - Specialists are mostly unchanged. However, all Specialist players will spawn in fully equipped with basic armour and a SMG in a holster. in addition they will spawn with a randomly selected Specialist weapon in their hands, this can range from a Smartgun to a Grenade Launcher. You have no choice in your weapon selection. For ammo you'll need to ask your Squad Leader for a resupply crate if you run low.
===Engineering===
* '''Squad Leader''' - As a Squad Leader you have access to five unique resupply beacons that can be used to send for more supplies, ammo or mines. In addition at the start  of the round you will get access to a laser designator, this will let you call in a air strike that will launch a massive naplam or missile strike on your target area in a horizontal or vertical direction.
{| style="border: 2px solid black;
* '''Doctor/Medic''' - While Doctors and Medic gameplay remains unchanged, however the medical staff have access to unique Medical Sleeper Pods in the medbay. These machines can be used to automatically repair a Marines fractured bones. While it takes longer than doing the surgery manually, as each fracture usually takes four or so minutes to fix, but these nonetheless are life saving when you are being overwhelmed in casualties.  
! style="background-color:#A9A9A9;"|'''Jobs:'''
* '''Military Police/Honor Guard''' - The Military Police are renamed into the 'Honor Guard'. As a Honor Guard you spawn with with access to a M4RA Marksman rifle and a lot of ammo for the weapon. You act as the Commanders ace in the hole. You'll typically be sent to reinforce areas needing extra help, though you may also be acting independently and helping in areas needing help.
! style="background-color:#A9A9A9;"|'''Description:'''
* '''Commander/XO''' - Commanders are mostly unchanged, however you'll be far more involved and 'hands on' when directing Marine forces. While this gives you more ability to fight in the field, but your command ability is even more important. Its your job to direct Marine squads to defend the base and shore up weak points. The Commander can get access to an old generation M41A Pulse Rifle, with the full 99 rounds per magazine.

The Marine forces must hold out for a hour against the Xenomorph assault. If successful they will be evacuated by the USS Alistoun, and shortly afterwards the planet will be assaulted by the USS Alistoun's veteran marine forces to re-take the military compound.
===Medical===
==Supplies==
{| style="border: 2px solid black;
While the USS Alistoun's crew are still an hour out repairing their main dropships, you can still get assistance from the USS Alistoun as their fighters, such as the HA-117 Stingray Combat Interceptor can provide Close air support, however they do require a laser to be used at the desired location so that they can lock on to the target as the Ha-117 was never meant to hit fast moving ground targets, it was developed to take out battlecruiser class starships in squad formations so it uses the laser from the laser designator to make sure the payload is as accurate as it can as well as that it can also prevent friendlies from being hit in the dense jungle, in practice it doesn't always work. Every wave you'll receive a random assortment of resupply crates at the bases resupply pad located to the west of medbay/command (The supply pad can be seen below). In addition Squad Leaders will occasionally be able to call in air strikes when the Marine air forces have refueled on the USS Alistoun.

This is the Whiskey Outpost supply pad where a assortment of crates will be dropped off each wave to help you as a marine survive the xeno hordes which are incoming to your position. On the right you'll see a Recycler, this allows you to recycle crates into metal to help build defences in this time of need. To use the recycler push a crate on top of the recycler then click on the recycler and the crate will be melted and crushed into metal sheets for you to use.

The goal of the Dust Raider garrison is to hold out within 60 to 90 minutes in order to establish a signal with the USS Alistoun to alert the remaining Dust Raider marines about the dire situation in the Dust Raider garrison in LV-624. If the Whiskey Outpost garrison survives the onslaught, the remaining Dust Raiders will shortly converge and reinforce the marine garrison in LV-624 and successfully repel the alien invasion force. The Dust Raiders then secure [http://cm-ss13.com/wiki/images/6/6f/LV624.png LV-624] and the entire Neroid sector, establishing peace for years to come.


* The Aliens do not get a Queen, or any Facehuggers. More Aliens will spawn every single wave. Aliens are expected to throw themselves at the Marine defences. In order to play as an Alien you must manually take control of a body when they spawn.
===Supplies===
* More powerful Aliens will spawn in later waves. Early waves will see the Aliens stuck with young level Runners and Sentinals. Later rounds will see later tiers of Xenomorphs spawning. The final waves usually see a large amount of Elite and Ancient Aliens spawn among all tiers.
Supplies in the outpost are generally limited to handheld firearms, medical supplies and engineering equipment, each spread out in different pillboxes as well as the main outpost. From each wave, crates containing random assortments of supplies (such as ammo, attachments, constructables, etc.) are given out in Requisitions inside the bunker. The outpost's Quartermaster or Logistics crew will deliver the supplies out from the main outpost to the pillboxes in the front. They are either dragged through or delivered by the pipe chute.
* Aliens do not heal on weeds outside of healing out of critical damage. Retreating does you no good.
 
* Aliens cannot evolve or upgrade their Aliens. You play as what you spawned in as.
=== Close Air Support ===
Squad Leaders can also order airstrikes in addition to mortar bombardments using their Laser Designators. The laser designator has 2 modes, CAS and Mortar and two targeting modes N-S and E-W standing for North to South and East to West, This will dictate the way the CAS or Mortar will hit.
 
==The Xenomorphs==
The Aliens or Xenomorphs see several major changes to their playstyle in order to suit this game mode. These changes are as follows:
 
* The Aliens do not get a Queen, Carriers, or any Facehuggers. More Aliens will spawn every single wave. Aliens are expected to throw themselves at the Marine defences and attempt to breach into them.
** As for this, there are no cooldowns when respawning as an Alien.
* More powerful Aliens will spawn in later waves.
** From waves 1 to 2 quick waves of tier ones will spawn.
** From waves 3 to 11 tier twos start appearing and will become more and more common.
** At wave 12 Ravagers and Praetorians start appearing.
** Waves 13 and 14 introduce boilers
** Waves 15 and on cause more and more aliens to appear, Reinforcing the siege.
* If there too many aliens, the wave will be "delayed", costing the aliens one wave and making the marines hold the outpost much easier.
* Aliens do not heal nor rest on weeds outside of healing out of critical damage, they'll immediately bleed out and die.
* Aliens cannot evolve but can still talk in the hivemind. You play as what you spawned in as.




Overall, Aliens are a lot more expendable in Whiskey Outpost than standard play. You are expected to throw yourself at the Marine defences, though try and exploit weak points in the Human defences. Don't be afraid to die as you'll be dying a lot as an Alien in this game mode.

==Alien Strategy==
===Alien Strategy===
The game can roughly be divided into three parts. The Early Game (scouting phase), the Mid Game (offensive phase) and the End Game (annihilation phase).
The game can roughly be divided into three parts. The Early Game (scouting phase), the Mid Game (offensive phase) and the End Game (annihilation phase).


In the '''Early Game''' the Xeno forces consist only of scouting xenomorphs, large amounts of Runners and some Sentinels and Drones that reached the Human base first. Eventually being joined by light amounts of Hunters and Spitters. In the Early Game the Aliens should focus on pressuring the outer Human defences and trying to kill as many Humans as they can, the more dead Humans, the more people that will be playing as a Xeno. In this stage of the game the Alien forces are very weak and won't likely overrun the Human defenders.

Eventually being joined by light amounts of Lurkers and Spitters.

In this stage of the game the Alien forces are very weak and won't likely overrun the Human defenders.
 
The '''Mid Game''' begins roughly when the "Vanguard" Alien forces arrive, this occurs after the mid-game lull occurs (Marine bombers delay xeno spawns, giving Marines a moment or relief). At this point the Xeno forces consist entirely of Lurkers, Spitters, Defenders, Warriors and Drones with some Sentinel and Runner support. At this point of the game the Aliens become a very dangerous force, unprepared the Aliens can quickly overrun underdefended outposts and many Xenos can easily slip by and harass the central base. Eventually tier 3 Aliens will begin to appear, adding to the threat of the Alien forces. In this stage of the game the Aliens should focus on overrunning the forward defensive lines and opening up the map to Alien movement.
 
The '''End Game''' begins when the full Alien force arrives, and usually occur within the last ten to twenty minutes of the round. At this point most Aliens will spawn in as Tier 2s, and you'll start to see a ridiculous amount of T3s, such as of Crushers, Boilers, Ravagers and Praetorians. At this junction the Xenomorphs are so powerful that they can quickly roll over the remaining Marine defenders in most cases. There is little strategy at this stage, your only goal now is to try and kill the remaining Marines before their reinforcements arrive.
 
 
Like in a normal round, the Alien's goal is to annihilate the entire marine force. If this happens, the forces in Whiskey Outpost are wiped out and the distress signal from LV-624 will be intercepted, allowing the aliens to overrun the marine garrison in LV-624. This event would later cause the USS Almayer and the rest of the "Falling Falcons" battalion to arrive in the sector five years later, with their fate in question.
 
=Whiskey Outpost Event Mode=
The Whiskey Outpost Event Mode can be triggered on any of the currently available maps by an admin+. Once the Event Mode is triggered late-joining will not not be available for that round and there will not be any Human Response Teams as reinforcements, so you'll be stuck observing or deciding to play as an alien if you didn't ready up in time.
 
 
==Available Jobs==
Similar to the Whiskey Outpost Gamemode there is only a select set of allowed marine jobs for this event.
'''Not readying up as one of the following jobs will force you to be a Squad Marine:'''

The '''Mid Game''' begins roughly when the "Vanguard" Alien forces arrive, this occurs after the mid-game lull occurs (Marine bombers delay xeno spawns, giving Marines a moment or relief). At this point the Xeno forces consist entirely of Hunters, Spitters and Drones with some Sentinel and Runner support. At this point of the game the Aliens become a very dangerous force, unprepared the Aliens can quickly overrun underdefended outposts and many Xenos can easily slip by and harass the central base. Eventually tier 3 Aliens will begin to appear, adding to the threat of the Alien forces. In this stage of the game the Aliens should focus on overrunning the forward defensive lines and opening up the map to Alien movement.

The '''End Game''' begins when the full Alien force arrives, and usually occur within the last ten to twenty minutes of the round. At this point most Aliens will spawn in as Elite or Ancient, and you'll start to see a ridiculous amount of Tier 3 xenos, such as dozens of Ancient Crushers, Ravagers and Praetorians. At this junction the Xenomoprhs are so powerful that they can quickly roll over the remaining Marine defenders in most cases. There is little strategy at this stage, your only goal now is to try and kill the remaining Marines before their reinforcements arrive.
==Round Progression==
Once the marines have established their outpost the xenomorph waves will start to appear with brief intervals between. Due to the plethora of xenomorphs attacking each wave the marines have been given Special supply beacons [[File:WO_Supply_Beacon.png|32px]] that once activated allow the user to select what supplies they require and automatically call it in. These will drop in the form of supply kits. <small>'''Note that supply kits will also randomly spawn after each wave with random supplies.'''</small>




The Aliens must wipe out the Marine force before an hour elapses. If the Aliens succeed they will ward off any further Marine forces from landing, fail and the planet will be assaulted by the USS Alistoun's veteran marine forces to re-take the military compound.
As a xenomorph keep in mind you will overwhelm the marine force regardless but if they can withstand and defend long enough you will lose, Don't worry about dying as long as you supported the siege.

Latest revision as of 00:57, 25 January 2023

"In our attempts to establish a base on this planet, several of our patrols were wiped out by hostile creatures. We're setting up a distress call, but we need you to hold Whiskey Outpost in order for our engineers to set up the relay. [...] If they overrun your position, we will be wiped out with no way to call for help. Hold the line or we all die." ― Colonel Hans Naiche


Whiskey Outpost is an alternative map and game mode featured on CM-SS13 server. On this map, instead of playing the USCM in the battalion 'Falling Falcons' of the 4th brigade and the USS Almayer, you'll either play as a USCM from the 3rd Battalion 'Dust Raiders', led by Colonel Hans Naiche (Alternatively spelled as Naich) and Major Ike Saker in Planet LV-624, who are previously in charge of keeping the peace of the Neroid sector or the Xenomorphs whose task is to successfully wipe out the Marine forces in LV-624 by wiping out Whiskey Outpost to intercept the relay signal. It takes place five years before the arrival of the USS Almayer in the Neroid sector, taking place in 2181. The Dust Raiders had established a USCM presence in one of the major locations of the sector, including Whiskey Outpost.

However, the forces in LV-624 were soon under attack by unrecognized alien forces, with several patrols of marine units wiped out before the main invasion in Whiskey Outpost begins. The Dust Raider garrison stationed in LV-624 have no other choice but to send a distress signal to alert the remaining USCM reinforcements to their location. Before the distress signal can be launched, the Marines must hold out for 60 to 90 minutes or longer until engineers set up the relay so that reinforcements from Whiskey Outpost arrive to rescue the marines in LV-624, the Aliens must wipe out the Marine force before they set up the relays and repel the alien invasion force in LV-624. This is a fight for survival, and neither side can afford to give one quarter.


Whiskey Outpost

Whiskey Outpost is an outpost that's heavily fortified and used as a military base in the Neroid Rift Sector. Its situated in a valley which forces any hostiles to assault from the south of the base. The base is equipped with a large array of automated sentry guns and mannable smartgun defensive positions, however, the base is not adequately fortified for an incoming assault due to a lack of funding. The Marine forces will need to spend their time rapidly establishing barricades and similar defenses before the vanguard alien forces arrive.


The Defensive Positions are divided into 3 major areas and 2 minor areas:

Major Areas

  • The west side, Pillbox Burbon, which is guarded by sentry guns and smartguns through a canal-based jungle environment
  • The central side, Pillbox Beer, is where most of the action takes place through an open, heavily guarded environment guarded by several smartguns emplacements and a few automated sentries.
  • The east side, Pillbox Margarita, is guarded with sandbags through a vast open terrain with a crashed dropship acting as cover.

Minor Areas

Both minor areas, Pillbox Wine (west) and Pillbox Wodka (east), are guarded with only sentry guns, metal, and plasteel barricades. The middle area between Pillbox Beer and the former two pillboxes is the Triage pillbox, for emergency medical care.

The Outpost itself is at the north of the map, with the unique role of 'Honor Guard' to detect and protect the marine base and command staff against any threats that make it through the defenses. In addition, sentry turrets and smartgun emplacements help secure the base against the bug force. Medical has four autodoc stations as opposed to the standard one, due to the likelihood of fierce fighting and casualties. In addition, Engineering starts with four reactors to power the base defenses, leaving the squad engineers to construct field defenses. In CiC, the only difference is the communications consoles that can only be used for announcements and medal recommendations.


For the Xenomorphs, they start from the south of the map, covered in vine and grass, Here be Dragons.


The Marines

Unlike the Falling Falcons Marines who are stationed at the Almayer, the Dust Raider Marines are stationed at planetside - and will have different job changes. Much of the common roles remains unchanged and some are just renamed, however, there are a few roles that completely changes the role one way or another. Below here, are the major and minor changes between the roles.

Reinforcements from the 7th "Falling Falcons" Battalion will arrive during wave 7, which is the break wave. Each consisting a basic combat squad.

Take note that after the first wave of Xenomorphs arrive, you are not able to latejoin this round as a marine.

Requires a Whitelisted Synthetic - You are the bases Synthetic, their is a never ending amount of duties to fulfill: build barricades, provide medical support, and ensure supplies are sent. Get working!

The goal of the Dust Raider garrison is to hold out within 60 to 90 minutes in order to establish a signal with the USS Alistoun to alert the remaining Dust Raider marines about the dire situation in the Dust Raider garrison in LV-624. If the Whiskey Outpost garrison survives the onslaught, the remaining Dust Raiders will shortly converge and reinforce the marine garrison in LV-624 and successfully repel the alien invasion force. The Dust Raiders then secure LV-624 and the entire Neroid sector, establishing peace for years to come.

Supplies

Supplies in the outpost are generally limited to handheld firearms, medical supplies and engineering equipment, each spread out in different pillboxes as well as the main outpost. From each wave, crates containing random assortments of supplies (such as ammo, attachments, constructables, etc.) are given out in Requisitions inside the bunker. The outpost's Quartermaster or Logistics crew will deliver the supplies out from the main outpost to the pillboxes in the front. They are either dragged through or delivered by the pipe chute.

Close Air Support

Squad Leaders can also order airstrikes in addition to mortar bombardments using their Laser Designators. The laser designator has 2 modes, CAS and Mortar and two targeting modes N-S and E-W standing for North to South and East to West, This will dictate the way the CAS or Mortar will hit.

The Xenomorphs

The Aliens or Xenomorphs see several major changes to their playstyle in order to suit this game mode. These changes are as follows:

  • The Aliens do not get a Queen, Carriers, or any Facehuggers. More Aliens will spawn every single wave. Aliens are expected to throw themselves at the Marine defences and attempt to breach into them.
    • As for this, there are no cooldowns when respawning as an Alien.
  • More powerful Aliens will spawn in later waves.
    • From waves 1 to 2 quick waves of tier ones will spawn.
    • From waves 3 to 11 tier twos start appearing and will become more and more common.
    • At wave 12 Ravagers and Praetorians start appearing.
    • Waves 13 and 14 introduce boilers
    • Waves 15 and on cause more and more aliens to appear, Reinforcing the siege.
  • If there too many aliens, the wave will be "delayed", costing the aliens one wave and making the marines hold the outpost much easier.
  • Aliens do not heal nor rest on weeds outside of healing out of critical damage, they'll immediately bleed out and die.
  • Aliens cannot evolve but can still talk in the hivemind. You play as what you spawned in as.


Overall, Aliens are a lot more expendable in Whiskey Outpost than standard play. You are expected to throw yourself at the Marine defences, though try and exploit weak points in the Human defences. Don't be afraid to die as you'll be dying a lot as an Alien in this game mode.

Alien Strategy

The game can roughly be divided into three parts. The Early Game (scouting phase), the Mid Game (offensive phase) and the End Game (annihilation phase).

In the Early Game the Xeno forces consist only of scouting xenomorphs, large amounts of Runners and some Sentinels and Drones that reached the Human base first. Eventually being joined by light amounts of Lurkers and Spitters. In the Early Game the Aliens should focus on pressuring the outer Human defences and trying to kill as many Humans as they can, the more dead Humans, the more people that will be playing as a Xeno. In this stage of the game the Alien forces are very weak and won't likely overrun the Human defenders.

The Mid Game begins roughly when the "Vanguard" Alien forces arrive, this occurs after the mid-game lull occurs (Marine bombers delay xeno spawns, giving Marines a moment or relief). At this point the Xeno forces consist entirely of Lurkers, Spitters, Defenders, Warriors and Drones with some Sentinel and Runner support. At this point of the game the Aliens become a very dangerous force, unprepared the Aliens can quickly overrun underdefended outposts and many Xenos can easily slip by and harass the central base. Eventually tier 3 Aliens will begin to appear, adding to the threat of the Alien forces. In this stage of the game the Aliens should focus on overrunning the forward defensive lines and opening up the map to Alien movement.

The End Game begins when the full Alien force arrives, and usually occur within the last ten to twenty minutes of the round. At this point most Aliens will spawn in as Tier 2s, and you'll start to see a ridiculous amount of T3s, such as of Crushers, Boilers, Ravagers and Praetorians. At this junction the Xenomorphs are so powerful that they can quickly roll over the remaining Marine defenders in most cases. There is little strategy at this stage, your only goal now is to try and kill the remaining Marines before their reinforcements arrive.


Like in a normal round, the Alien's goal is to annihilate the entire marine force. If this happens, the forces in Whiskey Outpost are wiped out and the distress signal from LV-624 will be intercepted, allowing the aliens to overrun the marine garrison in LV-624. This event would later cause the USS Almayer and the rest of the "Falling Falcons" battalion to arrive in the sector five years later, with their fate in question.

Whiskey Outpost Event Mode

The Whiskey Outpost Event Mode can be triggered on any of the currently available maps by an admin+. Once the Event Mode is triggered late-joining will not not be available for that round and there will not be any Human Response Teams as reinforcements, so you'll be stuck observing or deciding to play as an alien if you didn't ready up in time.


Available Jobs

Similar to the Whiskey Outpost Gamemode there is only a select set of allowed marine jobs for this event.

Not readying up as one of the following jobs will force you to be a Squad Marine:

Round Progression

Once the marines have established their outpost the xenomorph waves will start to appear with brief intervals between. Due to the plethora of xenomorphs attacking each wave the marines have been given Special supply beacons WO Supply Beacon.png that once activated allow the user to select what supplies they require and automatically call it in. These will drop in the form of supply kits. Note that supply kits will also randomly spawn after each wave with random supplies.


As a xenomorph keep in mind you will overwhelm the marine force regardless but if they can withstand and defend long enough you will lose, Don't worry about dying as long as you supported the siege.
