Several players joined this Reddit post in discussion as they all felt the spike in difficulty. One such user commented, “Spawn rates are crazy on Hellmire.” Another user chimed in, “It’s the 12 bile spewers roleplaying as automaton artillery units 500 meters away from the main fight that got triggered somehow.”
One user also stated, “My friend kept on trying to gaslight me into thinking all level 7 missions were that hard but I was like “No dude, these bugs feels like lvl 8″.” Finally, one of the users stated, “I was on Helldive, and I just couldn’t comprehend why there were so many chargers coming at me, this makes perfect sense now.”
Terminids are not that hard to deal with, but if they swarm you in numbers, that is a different story altogether. It is never fun if a dozen Bile Spewers bombard you from a distance It seems like the developers wanted to make sure players respect every faction in the game, including the bugs.
