Is the brute conscripts modifier only on auric missions?

[AZM]

I've yet to see any standard difficulties have this modifier, I can only see it on auric paired with hi-intensity shock troop gauntlet. I don't like running aurics because frankly I'm dead weight, but it's looking like I have to queue it up to get the event portrait.

Don't bother and just go Auric. Auric is atm inundated with non Auric players because of the event. One more or less makes no difference. It only gets stupid if you don't get a veteran of this difficulty level in your team.

The modifier is indeed only available as an auric modifier. As confirmed by the forum post announcing the event.

funny thing is it was appearing on normal missions for an hour prior to event announcement

[lordofthewaterbugs]

It is just another Auric for veterans of the game, it is a nightmare for players who have never done them before. Kind of funny they would put it only in Auric missions since they just introduced an new player base to the game.

wow nice self-awareness, auric level 4 is pretty easy honestly if you can handle normal heresy you should be fine

There is nothing wrong with knowing your own limits. At least OP knows where they are, but others don't in their posts!

This.

Auric is just a guaranteed High Intensity, it's not too bad unless you're jumping up a difficulty level in addition to the High Intensity jump. If you can comfortably do Heresy missions, you can pretty easily do Auric Heresy.

And that is why this is awful bad decision to bind _FOMO_ event to auric missions. This forces everyone to go and play at least heresy auric = heresy high intensity. Maybe this is my
mental disorder but i basically NEVER normally go to higher difficulty in coop game until i'm like 99.99999% capable to just faceroll current difficulty with lvl 1 fellas who just run the game for first time. Currently, i mastered Malice and just setting my steps to Heresy. And then the developers burst in with "great" idea to force EVERYONE play auric heresy. That is effectively +2 difficulty for me and i feel myself useless. But i WANT this portrait frame, it IS TIME LIMITED and i am therefore FORCED to and i WILL join auric heresy games until i get it, ruining game for myself and other players. And i dont even count lobbies, full of lvl30-30(5) new players, who have no chance by definition, but forced to join by FOMO. And my pride dont let me just leave the game that looks doomed even before it started. Thank you (no) failshark for my few hours of being roflstomped and humiliated for 1/10 event progress.
*edit
I mean i have played several unmodded heresy games and i feel myself ok (not "carry everyone with my eyes closed" level of ok, but ok), but auric heresy feels too much when everyone in group is like me or newer players. I think i will get achivement eventually by lucky joining to lobbies with pro players, but i dont like being carried.

You have THREE WEEKS to finish TEN MISSIONS. Take your time, you're not forced to do anything.
