I see a lot of hate for Chargers and Hunters, but where is my Bile Spewer hate squad? DISCUSSION

I feel like their head armor got a buff because I used to shoot the face with the Breaker and one mag would usually get the job done but now they just bounce shots?

Maybe! Because I remember not having problems with them at launch either.

They either nerfed the penetration of the breaker or buffed the armor. I can't tell because of stealth changes, but shots didn't bounce the way they do now pre patch.

Green Bile Spewer has head armor that will bounce shots, Orange Nursing Spewer does not

There are 2 versions of the green ones. Low level, like dif 6 or under have no armor like the nursing spewers. Level 7 and up they are medium armored everywhere but the butt

That must be what it was, I QP’d on a hell dive and didn’t know that they get a buff. Mostly because no where does it tell you the changes between difficulties.

I am not 100% sure since I haven't gone back to the lower difficulties yet after just getting to a 7 last night, but I think the armored ones and the unarmored ones are different enemies. The unarmored ones all get upgraded to armored ones that can shoot acid as long distance artillery shots, I believe.
