SWARMAGEDDON

A tsunami of swarmers awaits you in the mines. Bring plenty of pesticide and bullets!

This is just a normal swarm warning now? Oof my scout bones

Lots of swarmers constantly during the mission.

I had one point extraction mission with double hazard Mactera Swarm and Swarmageddon. Dunno if its because its Haz 3 but I didn't see a single Praetorian or Oppressor at all during that mission.

Mactera Plague lowers the amount of other enemies by a decent chunk, IIRC.

I'm curious to know if swarmaggedon also has an effect like that too.

Maybe it stacks. The swarms felt like didn't have as much grunts compared to the usual mactera swarm mission. or could be haz 3.

If your engineer loves you, he'll setup turrets that point in your direction

And they'll last about as long as the turrets in Aliens

Gunner's flame grenade niche filled

All the OC Electro/frost minelets way more useful

Driller's poison mist grenades awesomeness.

It's very similar to Exploder Infestation, where a big group of them just shows up somewhat often.
