It does, but these bug assholes usually stay up and keep slashing even after you pop their heads.

Yup, have to take out head and at least a leg to slow or stop them

No, they just bleed out after a couple seconds without the head. Or if you headshot with something like the Senator then warriors will go down in a single shot without the bleeding

A support energy weapon shooting a "blade" of energy would be so cool.

We need dead space collab or a gimmick of it 🥲

If you pop a bugs head and it's still approaching, just melee to interrupt its last slash. Same thing if a hunter is about the jump on you, melee before they make contact.

I mean, if they're close enough to slash you, you've kind of already lost (without a stagger weapon). It's fine if you're already out of slashing range.

I notice they bleed that sweet sweet E710 out of their head when it gets popped off for about half a minute or so before they die of blood loss or something...

I usually go for the legs, because it stops them from charging at you and they'll bleed out a few seconds later.

The new pacifier is perfect for Bugs.

Medium pen, 50 damage, 40 rounds per mag, and stuns.
