Bloater is a great addition

Really great. If you aren't prepared to manage him or have a fallback it throws a huge wrench in the match. Y'all are moving in a good direction!

I wasn't nice when I finally got it as a distortion. Was on Gab, and every time it showed up, I abducted it to a separate area, and nuked it, far away from my kill box. And I'm very glad I did. I timed it. His trap disable effect lasts for half a damn minute.

Oh yea the duration is long and range is wide you definitely don't want it dying in your killbox. It also pushes you in to a fallback position. It's an enemy whose presence makes a REAL difference.

I like that the trap disable duration is really long. The other mechanics that disable traps are relatively minor but this guy makes me concerned.

I got a Bloaster my first run. "Bloater comes with every wave" type Thread
I was very panicking the first 2 waves then I realized I was playing Gabriella and realized what they intended me to do so every time he would run near me I would Warp him to the beginning of the map and he just takes forever to run back it is hilarious LOL

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do on other characters though. Gabby is quite OP and I just luv all her abilities. My main for sure.

If you guys are on other characters: How do you deal with Bloaters if you can't just warp them to the beginning of the map?
Thanks

Gabby user here, who has no idea how to use anything except LMB: I took the same Thread and found that having a fallback killbox or maze for it to wander through gave me plenty of time to LMB it to death. Low difficulty so YMMV. It would generally leave the killbox beat up plenty. The few times it died INSIDE the killbox were fun scrambles.

I feel like the devs want us to build traps all over the place, not just inside one little box.
