Any pro tips? They’re a modifier on the weekly expedition and they’re annoying AF to deal with.
Hordes of them come too frequently
Blowing one up doesn’t set off the ones around it
Blowing one up DOES put up a big cloud of smoke so you can’t see the other ones
Pushing them can save you from getting exploded, but only useful if there’s one or two spread out. Otherwise they way they run in a close line means you push the first one, the second one gets you, then you’re disoriented and they all get you
No way to counter for a melee-only character
They seem too resistant to AoE damage. A fully charged conflag staff blast will only stagger them
Outcast Engenier with trollpedo and bombs. Ib with trollpedo
Sienna with Flamer or Fireball, Hagbane WS, griffonfoot BH. And atleast two of them in the team
I honestly gave up on this gamemode since the bots cannot deal with the bombrats at all.
Everything you listed is spot on, especially that they dont chain off each others explosions meaning you deal with each one individually, meaning a team of ranged players looks to be the only way to “enjoy” this modifier.
Heres hoping they make them more like poxbursters from DT. They seem to be porting all the other good ideas across to VT2 so I remain somewhat hopeful.
Indeed, finally got lucky enough to assemble a full team lastnight. This weekly is brutal combining suicide rats with Ranald’s Sparkling Gift… making it literally impossible with even one bot.
We still didn’t even come close to beating the expedition but we did almost beat the first level we had it in the bag but decided to try a boss chest right by the exit and got rekt.
