Movie-like mutator

[StarsheepTrooper]

I'd like to see a mutator, let's call I'd movie-like for now, where there are no Tiger bugs (or only 1-2 at a time if the devs can manage their spawns), maybe no Infernos, just very high amount of Warriors (with occasional Grenadiers, and Hoppers when they will be added), and the troopers are stuck with Morita Rifles (including the sniper variant) and Carbines, also the Warriors may deal increased damage, one-tapping every class except the Guardian.
With such high number of the Tigers and other big bugs spawning right now there isn't much place for the iconic Morita Rifle (outside of immersion), to be effective you have to use meta powerful weapons (which is cool, don't get me wrong), but sometimes I'd like the game to feel more like the first movie, with hundreds of the wartiors, and you have just a rifle, but you still can be effective with it.

I remember that before they were balanced, there was a similar mutator.

Even with drones, it was fun because it didn't work well, so all that appeared were drones, hundreds, thousands of them, it was like stepping on an anthill.

They're not particularly difficult, but like piranhas, these dwarves became quite chaotic.

The same thing happened with warriors. There's supposedly a mutator for each insect (although back then it was literally just the mutator's insect).
There were hundreds of drones, or grenadiers, haha.

The M1 still has use even if it's not the best at soloing large Bugs. It's just balanced around coordinated group fire, something you rarely see.

It's an interesting idea though, I do miss the earlier days of the game when it felt more like the first movie. The only problem is people would complain like crazy if they were forced into using a certain loadout via mutator. After all that's part of the reason they removed the random loadout mutator.

I could see it working as a limited time mode. Fixed loadouts, no class abilities or passives, time period accurate Bugs. Could even have one based on the 2nd movie with EP weapons only and constant storms.

Or "realistic" mutator: no devices, no UI, no perk or classes, only Morita and few clips...

I'm holding out hope one of the final difficulties is a realistic mode.

Like a movie battles mode, with locations and bugs and weapons from the movies, would be great

Yes and also include squad kit limits too...
