We were on Haz 7 on Fori Prime last night, and we easily killed well in excess of 300-600 bugs per diver, multiple bile titans, half a dozen+ chargers, etc.

They just never stopped spawning. We leveled half the city with strategems, arc throwers and flamethrowers and they just kept coming as if the spawners were broken. Are these levels OP for anyone else?

I’ve played for 160 hours and have never seen anything like this before.

The gloom gives much more spawns, I had a game last night where all four of us had over 500 kills on level 7. I love it.

Completed two lvl 7 operations with a duo squad. My squadmate had to carry my dead weight around.

Yes, there’s more bugs than normal.

That seems to be the general consensus in the comments. Interesting!

too right, but maybe it’s cause of the gloom?

Yes. Drives me nuts. Level 4 is way harder than level 4 anywhere else. I normally do 7’s on other maps.

Also, I already disliked how low visibility the whole game was before this! I do not care for this.

I don’t mind them if it’s just one to four planets, but yeah, they are very different than normal missions.

Weird. Tbh, no. We played a full cycle on difficulty 8 last night, and, while the new bugs presented reasonable challenge, raw numbers wasn’t it at all. Tbh, kill count was lower than usual.

Huh, maybe we just got a weird RNG for all three missions. They felt like 8-9s, in terms of difficulty. It was fun, but eye-popping for a 7, lol.

Yeah this is definitely the case.

Plus the gloom hides all radar signatures & they’re hidden until they skitter on top of you, the it’s too late.

Last mission there were 4 separate bug holes that never closed on while we were trying to raise the flag…it was absolutely ridiculous at lvl 7.
