Indestructible Spore Spewer

[Imnuktam]

Something change in the last week or was this a bug?

Found one right next to extraction. Unloaded grenade pistol into it, called resupply and repeated, gathered all ammo at extracting and repeated. 3 full clips which means 24+ grenades. Dumped 2+ flamethrower tanks into it and called down multiple napalm strikes on top of it... WTF ?

Not sure if they changed these in the last week I havent played, but was no chance to call in a hellbomb either so it was just 100% indestructible.

It was changed, yes. You now need level 4 armor penetration like with shrieker nests, so Heavy Machine Gun, AMR, Autocannon, rocket launchers, grenades, airstrikes and such. It's weird that there's no hellbomb.

Entire game seemed to be bugged tbh. This attempt to take out spewer went on for about 10 min total on a level 4 mission I was soloing. Spawns never stopped during that time which felt like a constant never ending bug breech. When game was over I had killed 868 bugs on a lvl 4 mission.

868 kills, on a lvl 4 mission.

Well that feels broken AF in practice.

Why does Flamethrower not take it out or seem to effect it at all? I can melt a charger in 1/4 tank to the leg, but tree.... Not so much

Yeah it got buffed to have armor and more health. The grenade pistol will do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to it. And of course they forgot to let us call in a hellbomb to get rid of a destructible objective that has armor.
Because that's exactly what we were missing in our lives. /s


Eagle napalm strike not killing it is weird though. Should've done the trick.

Consider becoming a laser cannon main.

it took like 4 recoiless rifle shots to take out a spore spewer in the distance. Used to only take 1.

Yeah i dropped 2 right on it, seemed to have no effect whatsoever. Felt like my entire loadout was just pointless and couldnt scratch it. Havent seen anything flamethrower wouldnt melt before that.

I get they were trivially easy and needed a buff but that was way to much of an over correction, especially without letting a hellbomb be called in.
