Good god I feel like a glass cannon now.

Been running light armor 'demo man' since launch and while I do love all the changes, I feel super squishy at the moment. Maybe it's from me getting complacent playing diff 6 missions and then doing nothing but 10s last night, maybe it was bad luck, and maybe it was using kind of meme builds to test changes, I can't be sure..

Most bugs were casually two piecing me in a combo attack I could do literally nothing about if the first hit. Getting hit by a charger was likely a death sentence, even if the initial hit didn't kill. I feel like I need some kind of pathetic roll in dirt move to give myself some space before I try to stand up.

But all in all, I'm a glass cannon now, and I need to act like it and keep the bugs away at all times.

Bots got nerfed.

Big difference with levels.

Pre patch I would spend most of my time on lvl 4 just to unwind after lunch, some days they seemed like lvl 7 on Meth...nuts. I would venture to the bugs once in awhile and there was a big difference in intensity. They now seem on par with each other....and I have to go up a couple levels to get that same crazy bot magic.

Used Air Burst, Knives, Pummeler, and all 3 mines. I could not stop laughing as I used up all our reinforcements.

They nerfed the commando a bit but the health on the factories balances it out

My god, you’re telling me I can mag dump bugs and bots and they won’t just walk it off? What timeline is this?
