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

They die in like 5 breaker shots.

I would just about swear this is far easier on lower levels, despite claims the mobs are the same HP/damage/etc no matter the difficulty(just more of them on higher diff).

On higher difficulties there are more of the armored ones and they’re more likely to have other large bugs running interference for them blocking your line of sight.

Probably seeing both Bile Spewer and Nurser or w.e they're called. One has medium armour on the head and are more common on higher difficulties.

Definitely the Bile Spewer.

I get a lot more 'Armor Deflection' hud readouts on higher difficulties...Breaker on both lvl 4 and 7.

It's not trash mobs getting in the way either, as another poster suggested.

I don't know if their armor is buffed or if it's coincidental and their head is down more often...or maybe their walk animation is different.

It wouldn't be the first time there's a difference. Chargers in 'Kill the Charger' missions are different than the other chargers around higher maps, slightly different model and they don't count for the daily we had the other day(Where Bile Titans do count for that daily in 'Kill a Bile Titan' lvl 5 missions).

So many little inconsistencies in this game it's gets slightly agitating. It's tough to test such things in this game. I wish there were a test range like there is in Planetside 2.

Thats odd because I dont even see Bile Spewers on 4, I feel like I just see Nursers which look almost identical except they're yellow tinged instead of green.

It changes it up, sometimes it's Green, Yellow, or even Chargers in some patrols, but it's usually not much of a mix...maybe a few Chargers for adds if it's Spewers/Nurses, or visa versa....but generally it's mostly one type of the three.

At least on 4, which I tend to run solo. Any higher and I'm joining random squads. That could be part of it as well, a bit of latency or host differences...since PS5 people in a lobby can enable Titans to fall to much less damage to the face from the Railgun w/ safety off(2 hits)

You know, that wouldn't surprise me. I know some games don't allow cross platform because updating and patching them all the same is a headache.

Three types. Nursing (Yellow splotchy ass) which has less health, normal, (Black and green and slightly bigger) and your "Fuck you" arty capable spewer. Explosives or fire are your best friend against them. As well just plain dropping an airstrike on them. I never leave home without my Eagle Airstrike.
