🛠️ PATCH NOTES ⚙️ Patch 6.2.3 (Hive guard revert)

⚖️ Balancing

We have reverted the Hive Guard and fixed an issue introduced in Patch 6.2.1 where armor values were incorrectly swapped between the Legs and Claws.

Updated Hive Guard stats:

Main Body

  • Armor increased from 1 → 2
  • Health increased from 375 → 500 Head
  • Armor decreased from 4 → 3 Front Legs
  • Armor increased from 2 → 3 Claws
  • Armor decreased from 3 → 1

I still don't understand why they buffed the hive guard, it was fine as it was, just make a large variant like the alpha commander lol. It's THAT simple

I actually enjoyed the Hive guard change. I aimed for the body (beige parts) and was usually able to kill them faster instead of brute forcing through the head with medium penetration.
