i dont know as if this has been mentioned.. i DID search for this topic with no luck finding this exact instance... im new to the forums, but not at all to the game... anyways...

i understand that people like devour. the utter humiliation of a newly spawned HA/HMG rine getting ate and serving little to no purpose but to wase a ton of money is a delight to us all, but here's my beef. we lose no armor when we get devoured... why not drop it? is that getting digested as well? im sure the onos's stomach acid is potent enough to eat through the armor, but why does it not go down? same with JPs.

you may complain that it would be stupid to just have the armor drop randomly out of the onos somewhere on the map, and it then would just sit there for a short time before it disappeared, but there is the chance that someone will find it and have use for it.

same with the guns. are they getting digested too?

this may seem silly to some people, and this topic may be talked to death for all i know. just an idea that i didnt see mentioned anywhere.

I don't think the onos has stomach acid, i just think the marine suffacates in the terrible stench of it

hah. well, if thats the case, then the armor, weapon would remain all/mostly/patially intact (but much slimier)

well it still gets destroyed when the onos poops it out

afaik is carried equipment dropped when you devoured a marine.
*examines the next poop he lays in front of the marine base*look out, biomine!*

well, the onos should get rfk based on the unit and equipment he gulped. and only this evolution should get rfk - in the whole game.
HA or JP or Vanilla where Vanilla gives the fewest amount and HA the highest,
LMG (lowest), SG, HGrenade, Welder, GrenLauncher, HMG (highest rfk).

Actually, HMG (15 res) then GL (20 res), would be rather interesting to implement...

well, as far as the weapon.. i guess im not all that sure if it drops or not... i guess i never really noticed haha..

but, mostly i was focused on the armor. i know this can get into the whole "why cant we switch from HA to JP" and all that, but i believe that since your body is getting dissovled, then your armor would then be still intact

If Onos gets 15 rfk for every HMG devoured, then it will never, ever not have the res to go onos again.

a small boon for not beeing able to withstand concentrated heavy fire for more then like 2 seconds.

dont you think that, too?

This is a case similar to 'Men in Black 1' where the insectiod alien eats the guy, yet he does not die inside revealing that the 'INSECT' doesnt have stomach acid and the the guy would die of suffication, hence the guys weapon was intact and still available for use inside the insect and was used before the eaten victim drowned.

This question will be answered when we find out this question, (basically)

Does the Onos have 'Stomach Acid' or 'Suffication/Smuthering' actions in the stomach?

This question i think is a matter of asking the staff, or doing a lot of Kharaa research (cos i dont know either, lol)

its cuz the onoses stomach melts the grenade before it explodes. dur

I don't think onoses need anymore R4K for killing things, that'd just encourage its role as a grazing fat cow
