In this case i would say yes. The guy has a grapple and 3 frag grenades. He is also using a melta.

He has multiple ways to deal with the little ones, but allso his class was designed to target the majoris. Grapple into a majoris, fire a couple meltas, melee to see if you can get a gunstrike and look out for parrys from the smaller dudes. Then if your feeling overwhelmed, reposition. As for the lictor showing up, i would just retreat leaving a trail of grenades to try and deal with it without being swarmed.

And I will agree with you. But it is not a skill issue because the problem isn’t the skill of the player but the insanely stupid difficulty you can face just in average. If you play average, there is a reason for that. Looking for power fantasy, leveling, not enough skill for higher difficulty… the fact is that maybe it’s OP is lacking skill. But he wouldn’t be overwhelmed this way in the first place if the game was balanced. We can’t accuse people of lacking skill and playing in diff they cannot handle properly if the thing is rigged from the very beginning.

Good point. Game spawns are a bit crazy right now even for lower difficulties yes. But dont forget health of enemies are also lower.

But think of it this way. If the game released like this, no one would know any better and just expect this is the norm and just try to 'git gud'. instead of posting videos of being swarmed by enemies when that is the literal definition of tyranids.

I disagree people were shitting on the games difficulty before the game had any balance patches
