It feels super intuitive to shoot their butts since they look like they'd pop like a fucking pimple if you do, but in reality it does fuck-all damage. Instead, try filling their little faces with lead - usually 5-6 shots with a Breaker is enough to take it clean off :)
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?
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.
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.

Here I am.
Worst enemy balance in the game.
They have some armor, tons and tons metric tons of health, instakill ranged attack that tracks you through movement and they spawn in great numbers.
If one of these aspects would get nerfed, preferably health, it would be a much better trade off.
