How to get Accurate Hopper Bugs
Hey!
I recently updated my old mod "Accurate Hoppers" and this time I decided to upload a video of it. Check it out! These are based on their behavior in Whiskey Outpost and the first Starship Troopers movie.

Originally posted by Accurate Hoppers:
Hopper Bugs, since the launch of Terran Command, has been extremely underwhelming. They made me believe the developers added them for the sake of having them, than for necessity.

-They did just about 0 damage
-Attacked far too infrequently
-Couldn't take bases
-Target Marauders but can't attack them (And Marauders can't attack them)
-Spawn in groups larger than their species' seem to ever be found in from the movie
-Are barely in any of the scenarios (And are easy to forget they were)
-Worst of all, die in a few shots before they could do any damage.

It took about 30 seconds of UNINTERRUPTED ASSAULT for Hopper Bugs to kill A SINGLE TROOPER in a squad of 12. What's even the purpose of them?
Accurate Hoppers fixed this.
In the latest update, they tried remedying this issue, with worse results than they were originally. Originally, they seemed like they were there for the sake of being there. Grimmick. Now, they introduced a Shock factor. This means that when the Hopper Bug goes down (Still doing just about the equivalent of 0 damage) a large group of troopers are disabled. By the time the stun ends, the cooldown of the Hopper Bug's attack ends and they get stunlocked before they can attack, This is worse than the original. Now they simply aren't fun to play against. In The Perimeter, initially an easy Scenario even on Brutal Difficulty, they have caused major issues with my entire large army getting stunlocked by Hopper Bugs alone until all of my troopers die.


This 2.0 version of Hopper Bugs fixes the latest version's poor design decisions to make them similar to the original Accurate Hopper Bugs. They kill your trooper in swipes so they are very high-priority when they appear making scenarios subjectively more difficult but that was exactly their priority level in the Whiskey Outpost scene. They decapitate troopers, take high-caliber turrets to kill and are priority when they appear even during dire situations such as a Whiskey Outpost type of scene.
