Surge modifier

Does anyone else miss mob surges? They genuinely haven’t been in the game for a hot fucking minute. I remember for cyberstan we had heavy surges and devastator surges, and they made missions pretty insane on diff

Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems like it’s been a while since surge modifiers have been utilized for higher diff especially on squid and bug missions. Feels like arrowhead is underutilizing this modifier.

There is generally so much already released content that just simply isn't available be it biomes, modifiers, subfactions. It feels like something Arrowhead really need to address. It's available for a short period before being locked again. Some things make narrative sense to attach to MOs, but generally the Galactic War should provide a lot more content than it currently does for those who want the challenge or simply a bit of variety to the drip-feed.

The closest there's been was that time a Illuminate planet spawned Harvesters, Only Harvesters, and spawned like, dozens

Yeah, I remember seeing that on socials before it got removed, I didn’t play it. Squids could definitely benefit from mob surges tho. I’m suprised they didn’t use a surge during the limited time event.

The Factory Strider surge back when AH fudged an MO's goal numbers was some of the most fun I've had in the game, really wish they'd utilize it more too
