The hive guard change is uh....a choice
Gun backpack nerfed, resupply turret booster nerfed. Gatling and regular sentry, there's just no reason to take them over any other turret now cause they can just get stuck on hive guards. Fucking machine guns, the funnest weapons to take on bugs...all nerfed except stalwart. Every single med pen primary; slugger and blitzer are just pointless now on bugs. AMR? No longer a single headshot. Autocannon flak mode, also nerfed if they're facing you. The fucking patriot mech machine gun. The list goes on.
Insane change. If they wanted a beefier enemy, I don't see why they didnt just increase the health of the head or give it more durability, instead of giving a giant middle finger to alllllll medium pen damage sources.
