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.
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.
