How do you deal with Eggs , when currently not detected ?

[[Bad Co.] Jayman]

I try use grenade but it alerts all aliens, i try using flamethrower but they "see/ detect" me before they die. what are you guys using ? specificially for mission 7 its annoying as hell .

1- sniper shot, 1 by 1 if you want to remain undetected.
2- if you know you will be spotted, you can spray fire with flamethrower where eggs are so when the facehugger pop they will instantly die.
3- if you don't care about being spotted (attract with noise) grenade on eggs will kill them, if there are no aliens or other eggs around you should not be detected but it will attract nearby creatures because of the noise.

Sniper seems the only option. For me I just flame them because I don’t really think about stealth.

There is a scuffy way to do it if you need to. Sentry turrets do not count as detection. If you set up sentries outside the door, trigger the facehuggers to pop out of the eggs, and break LOS before the actual huggers detect you, the sentries can kill them without you triggering a hunt.

Pop grenade and hightail it before anything sees you

[Lord Enclave]

A grenade does the job, quick and easy.

Sniper shots are theoretically a way to do it, but in practice they really aren't. Far too many eggs vs. how fast Command Points recharge. You end up spending 10 minutes sitting on your hands.

Me personally, I just shoot the things and deal with the Hunt.

As long as you're not spotted directly with LOS, grenades are stealthy too. I know, weird, but it works lmao.

This does change the game-play loop significantly

Put a motion tracker around a few corners (away from where you want to go next), nade the eggs, activate motion tracker via map, bugger off... (or mine the approach and put up one or two sentrys)

Not exactly. Patrolling drones will come over and check the destroyed eggs.

Blow up the eggs, kill the aliens.
I dont care anymore about being detected, thats when the game gets fun.
My arc has around 112 alien corpses around it...
Something ive noticed is bodies stay on the map after u leave and come back... kinda nuts.

Grenades. Easy. Is it so hard to think for yourself or would you like me to come over and play the game for you?

So? Make sure they don't see you, it's not that hard.

This is what I do. When you know where the eggs are, I place few turrets in the direction where the face huggers come out the door. I place my squad away from the eggs to where I won't get spotted. Then use the drone to place where the eggs. Use sound to wake them up then guide them to the turrets. Boom! Dead and no spotted.

[rjmacready]

I usually hit-and-run. Flame everything remotely living that I can from the doorway, and always know where I'm retreating to to stand my ground (or just hop in an elevator, if there's one close enough).

And pray an "infinite assault" doesn't happen :D
