So does anyone ever use this as a tactic? What I'm referring to is fleshpounds and scrakes fighting each other. It's not hard to pull off, though it does require specific circumstances that won't happen every time, or even often.

For those that don't know, a fleshpound that is enraged and runs into a scrake won't kill it, but it will cause some damage, causing the scrake to attack back. Then they start fighting until one of them is dead. Depending on how much you damaged the FP, either one can die, or you can even shoot one of them to ensure the other's victory (I suggest shooting the FP ;) ).

It's really not that hard to make happen, so long as one condition is met. There is a scrake in between the FP and the FP's target.

By the way, this also works with bloats. I don't know if a raged FP will kill sirens o_O that'd be one hilarious fight xP

So yea, do you ever use this? What do you think of it? Personally I think it's great, despite the rare opportunities.

I've done it on occasion, but i don't plan my fleshpound-killing-strategy around it. Mostly only really efficient when your team died and you are solo on later waves - kiting around on an open map (farm)...

I have thought about planning that, but things never seem to line up if there is a FP and a scrake i do try if im not running away, but the rest of the team seems to just want to shoot it like crazy lol

1. Look up the term 'politician' on dictionary.com.
2. Try to figure out how it applies to your post, only to fail.
3. ???
4. Profit!

:p

Another reason for him to be a politician :)

Those baster always turn fighting each other, and do virtually nothing good (Some are good, really, but even the good ones still love fighting).

Oh, and anyone remember the face of BC when he turned the oval room to his BJ section? I swear, look in at your "o_O", I remember him.

FP's gib everything except scrake.

happened of farm (go figure :p)

playing normal solo for achieve (never had it cause too many fails out there when perk leveling the proper way :p) Using lvl 4 sharps. He spawned too far away so he enraged as son as he was close enough for me to see his LED. ran through everything between me and him. was one of everything except a scrake. Gibbed everything untill 2 Xbow bolts found his skull.

managed to get straight rush too. Good old Xbow headshots :)

so now i got 5/5 normal long. now to work on hard >.>
