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.

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

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.

My squad and I had a blast on level 8. The new bugs are scary especially with higher numbers but we didn’t encounter any frustration. We do generally try to run from breaches rather than make a stand. Our kill counts were very elevated like you mentioned.

My group played some level 7 missions last night and experienced the same thing. High number of bugs, especially heavies like titans and chargers.

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!
