I keep reading about how strong the Arbiter is and how he needs to be nerfed. But he’s far from strong in every situation! Monsters are basically some kind of curse — the Arbiter can’t do anything against them, neither in melee nor at range. Shooting them with the Mk III shotgun is like picking at a…

You are truly lucky to live in a time where people are willing to humor this insane incompetence and overall just lack of common sense or care.

Sorry guy, but it’s your problem, not class one. Monsters in this game on their own are weaklings. And 2 of them can be cheesed with ledges, all of them can be killed with some doors on maps. In my games they either nuked fast or left for last, arbites or not.

To be a threat, we would need that monstrosities have at least 5 times the HP and that they deal 50% more damages But then, a single player (when all his teammate died) would just die when having to face such threat.

they need something minotaur-ish to eat stamina like rations and actually be a menace to tank individually in melee. I know solo players just dropped a brick thinking about it.
