It was a bug, but I actually kind like having to protect them over a longer distance. Kinda makes me wish for bunker doors that isn't so close to the evacuation door.
What I mean with the title is; they feel like they are working together to fight against us, turning our advantage into their advantage.
We kill bugs in the thousands per mission pretty much. Any tanky unit they bring we can quickly take down, so they have to bring more and more to try and overwhelm us.
But what if they turned that high casualty rate into their advantage?
Death spores to speed up allies? Only makes sense if bugs are dying a lot.
Spore Titan vomit to speed up allies? Only makes sense if they have something to attack.
The Spore bugs feel like they've evolved specifically to fight Helldivers. Spore Titans are tankier but have less deadly vomit, but that vomit also spreads the spores that speeds up the little guys.
They've realised they are dying A LOT so they turned dying into their advantage.
And I want them to go further with that.
Give me Spore Burst Chargers that are just like Spore Chargers but orange, and now they explode into a giant cloud of speed spores upon death. For good measure when they charge they can release speed spored behind themselves.
They would be a ram to make us panic while speeding up the bugs behind it which would be the actual threat.
Give me Spore Spewers that vomit speed spores if we're close enough or they plant their ass up and mortar speed spores onto our positions in order to forcefully let the smaller bugs go zoom.
Make all the heavy bugs be support units to speed up the smaller bugs.
I want the Spore Burst strain to fully commit to being a subfaction of bugs that have evolved *to die* in order to fight against the Helldivers.
Because they are by far the most fun the bugs have EVER been for me (Meridia Shrieker swarm is a close second) and I want to face more of what they bring.
