Alien worm bosses really need some redesigning

[SilentSword]

Just tried the new alien campaign levels and while they were a lot of fun despite the buggy AI, something that really bugged me was how easy the bosses were to defeat. All you have to do is walk up to it's neck whithout getting slimed and then it's a simple matter of pounding him in the face since his neck can't reach you.

That is what I call hazard. I mean, that is certainly better than the current campaign.

If I were to redesign the worm boss to make it harder I would make his throat spiky or maybe he bites you when you stay close for too long or he has some explosive acid cough he builds up that looks like a green version of Max's shotgun fire.

It is important that every direct combat boss has some close range AoE attack, but it has to be telegraphed well, like the grenade flurry of most bosses. I imagine a boss who stick out an antenna and some electrical explosion happens.

The bigger worm from the trailer is available in the editor, but it does not appear to function.

Does the bigger worm have a name?

It is variation 1 of the the AlienGiantSandWorms, with variation 0 being the one used in the game.

They need to make the final Alien boss a lot harder. It is by far the easiest boss.

Yeah, the worms turned out to be quite cheesable by getting in really close to them. It's something we're going to look at.

We're trying to make another alien boss, which we'll try make a big challenge. The current worms might remain more like vehicles (like Soup Calhoun said). Though we probably need an additional extra hard worm or something then.

Maybe worms should be easy to kill. I mean they are just giant worms...that spit acid.

For those not participating in the beta, the devs are working on some new aliens, including two new worms. They're both pretty fun to deal with. Best of all, the gif of rambro throwing a grenade into the worm's mouth? Working like a charm. I think this next update, once it's finished, will be a ton of fun, and make the worms a little more formidable.
