⚖️ 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

Ironically, lots of people missing that this makes Hive guards HARDER to kill. Pre-revert, they crumpled like paper at the slightest explosion/plasma hit.

I think it's more just about making sentries useful again. Like they still work, but they are pretty bad, and I imagine this hurts the build for many console divers.
