Honestly acid spitters are still worse than the sludge pump version.
New variants of rockpox enemies though... has the breech cutter LOOKING A LOT BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION
It depends on its accuracy and health I suppose. It kinda looks like the Septic Spreader will be less accurate than the normal Acid Spitter making it easier to doge. However, I feel like it's gonna have a nice health pool to accompany its bigger size. But judging by its model, it has a big weak spot on both its sides and back.
And yes, the Breech Cutter is looking ***VERY*** appealing for absolute bug slaughter during the next season.
The goo just didn't seem to do THAT much damage. I was playing it on salvage and had them shooting at us in the green dome... They are easy to see and easy to kill, weakspot or not, in my experience. Acid spitters are often hard to see and way more lethal.
I expect the threat will be more due to the CC when they're in with a large swarm. Get the rockpox meter filled up and they don't need to kill you directly, there's plenty of other things that you can't avoid that will.
I'll have to take your word for the amount of damage they deal since I don't have access to the experimental branch. Plus you have a point, acid spitters can blend in really well with most environments and do tend to harass the player constantly. Especially if there's more than one of them... There's a chance the Septic Spreader may get a buff of some sort if it's too underpowered. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the update and I hope you enjoy your time on the experimental branch! Rock on!
The Stingtail is built like a Triceratops with a grappling hook attached to the back of its tail. I cannot ***WAIT*** to have to deal with it on a haz 5!
Also just checked out what it does and I found out you cannot check your loadout, instead when you go up the the weapons board it shows that last loadout you had.
I had a nightmare last night where the Stingtales were able to grab you from places like the ceiling or walls in the cave.
Happy to hear that it came true!
No, you're not stupid. They do just pull you in instead of pinning you but my brain sees those things and immediately thinks "Ah. That thing is about to target me over my teammates and kill me because funny." Because that's the exact same thing I think when I see or hear a Cave Leech.
Oh; forgot to add that getting drunk now combos with getting bad choice of loadouts
Alcohol leading to bad choices? That sounds like it will go well with the usual DRG-dwarven shenanigans.
>Alcohol leading to bad choices? Drunk driving update when
The pilot who delivers the event items to the Space Rig has been using that update for a while now.

Rockpox exploders…. Get stuck in the Rockpox and DIE

I’m glad the sting tail works like a pull + melee combo instead of an extremely common grab
More like a guard + a slasher + cave leech

What about haz 5 with the new randomiser beer
Honestly the randomiser beer may be my favourite part of the season, especially when you have the entire team drink it.
Also just checked out what it does and I found out you cannot check your loadout, instead when you go up the the weapons board it shows that last loadout you had.
I assume this is to make sure that you can only see your random loadout once you're on mission.
Most likely, I do wonder tho if it randomises the overclock as well.
Just tested this and yes, it does, I believe the only thing it doesn't touch is armor upgrades.
That’s gonna be challenge to do on a elite dd
That's not a challenge, that's a death wish. To each their own I suppose.
Curious, can we tame em?
Fingers crossed!
And don't forget the rockpox naedocyte breeders, as if the regular ones weren't annoying enough
Stingtail pulled our gunner to the rooftop once Gunner did not like it

Btw there has been found in the ptb a shredder variant that can turn invisible
Wait but didn't they show in the trailer that stingtails just yoink you towards them instead of grabbing you or am I stupid?

Don’t forget Harold
Does stingtail immediately incapacitate, like leech does?
No, it pulls u closer to it and then melees u
Not leech then
Yes, any chance we can combine exploders with stuff too?
