Quoting Whiskey144, reply 742Like flanking Shieldbugs.
I blame Ryat, because I can flank shield bugs just fine. The problem is that no matter how hard I hit their white belly (shotgun, assault rifle, flamer, melee) they just wont f&*%^ing die!
Btw, how did you know I was referring to shield bugs when I said overpowered?
"We were inhuman beings....butchers on a field of corpses....corrupt and depraved....only a sum of viscera, blood, and bone - Creatures without soul."
Because I friggin' hate shieldbugs too. What difficulty level are you playing though; higher levels make the Swarm tougher and more resistant to damage.
I blame Ryat for my lack of knowledge on the subject of Shielbugs.
Shieldbugs are a type of alien in the free game on Steam called "Alien Swarm". As their name might suggest, they can form a "shield" with their front 4 legs, that then requires the player(s) to flank the shieldbug, and fire into its vulnerable rear. Alternately, using the Grenade Launcher weapon is an excellent choice, as it fires its rounds up-and-over (more or less acting as a mini-mortar), allowing you to bypass the shields.
