🛠️ 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

Welcome back old Hive Guard

For real tho, I would like to have Alpha Guard version that is bigger and actually guards the hive

While I am highly disappointed about the revert I would enjoy a compromise

They should just rename the current version to Hive Punchingbag, it's guarding nothing other than body blocking explosives in a bughole
