Gorge
From NS community wiki
Belligerent and obese, gorges serve mainly a support role -- though they can dish out damage when they must. In NS game mode gorges are the only species that can build. NS Gorges can build chambers (including resource towers), and trigger the growth of new hives. Use the pop-up menu to choose what to build. Standing next to an unbuilt chamber and holding down the "use" key (default "e") speeds building.
- Cost: 10 resources
- Gestation time: 17 seconds
- Health: 150 hp
- Armor: 40 hp
- Speed: 170 units/sec
Attacks:
- Spit: Wads of corrosive, pulpy matter hucked impressive distances by the gorge's stomach muscles.
- Heal Spray: Restore health to players and chambers, and make friends, by using your healing spray. Limited range.
- Bile Bomb: This lobbed, grenade-like attack may be harmless to marines, but its disruptive chemical burst really hurts their structures. Bursts on impact in a 200 unit radius.
- Web: Webs are nasty -- they slow marines, make them unable to attack, and really mess up jet packs. Shoot the first anchor point, then the second, to place a web. A team can have up to 30 webs.
