"Bulk detonators are the rarest bugs to encounter"

[Arbitrition]

*proceeds to spawn two at the same time during escort duty*

yes this actually did happen

[Frisky]

I've had 3 on the map at the same time

I coulda swore I had 4 at one point on an escort but that was a long time ago so I might be misremembering

honestly multiple bulk dets usually don't make much of a difference since they bunch up and killing 1 will kill the other(s) via the final blow explosion

pretty fun when it happens

[Arbitrition]

the mission i had i used my 4 leadbursters to kill the first but then a teammate lead the second and killed it next to doretta and we lost because of it.

[RENGOKU]

LB’s are great for killing them and on the very occasion you do get to at the same time I generally try to keep them together so one will kill the other.

[Chibbity]

Thats how the spawning pools work.

If Bulk Detonators are in the spawning pool, you can see as many as there is time in the mission for.

If not, you'll see exactly zero.

No clue how that's possible when they use the best two overclocks in the game.

Saw two bulks for the first time myself recently.

Interesting in retrospect, my first thought wasn't "oh no 2 bulks, we are so doomed very feel-scared time"
It was instead... "you know, I really hope that my team doesn't tunnel vision only on these bulks, and they all get chain downed by slashers or something, that'll suck to deal with."

I dont think I ever saw someone say that seriously.

Elite bulk on the other hand
Unless you play with elites extremely often (which sometimes you even can't since not all warnings always show up)

[HeyThere]

Is an elite crassus possible?
I doubt an elite ghost could exist though -- that sounds too silly.

Nah they're real (elite bulks at least, Crassus and Ghost dont have an elite version, even the code of the game dont have that)
And the fact that you doubt its existence just shows how rare they are.

I have screenshots of it but it wouldn't do justice of the true terrifying part of those :

Bulk Detonators have innate explosion resistance. Focus on the bulb weakpoints to get rid of them.

Individually both overclocks are good, but they both fill the same niche (ammo-hungry mid-level burst) and are thus mostly redundant on the same loadout. There's normally not much of a problem with that, but the "ammo hungry" part makes them quite difficult to run together, especially when something tougher shows up and you have to eat a ton of ammo to get through it.

Skill issue. Next time, simply pet the Detonator.

nah everybody knows about elite bulks, i was specifically asking if elite crassus' or elite cave horrors could exist. Guess not though.
