Suggestion: Replace Corespawn Crawlers with Corespawn Creepers from Rogue Core OR add them alongside the Crawlers
I never liked fighting the Corespawn enemy in DRG, but I foolishly thought maybe it was because canonically the Miner Dwarves are not capable of handling such powerful threats while the Reclaimers are. So I was severely disappointed when I played RC and found out the Corespawn Crawlers are just as difficult to fight in RC as they are in DRG, albeit a little bit easier since they get right in your face with their weakpoints wide open.
So there's no justifying them now: Corespawn Crawlers are easily the most annoying, unfun, and unbalanced enemy to fight in Deep Rock Galactic. They tank a shitton of damage, have a teeny tiny weakpoint that they very rarely reveal, and are incredibly mobile.
As a greybeard with nearly 2k hrs in this game, this is genuinely the only enemy that actually frightens me in DRG anymore. Not because they have a unique mechanic that makes them challenging and scary to fight, but because I feel helpless. Even Elite enemies pre-hotfix 3 weren't as annoying to fight as these guys are because at least they didn't jump off the goddamn walls.
But y'know what enemies are fun to fight? The Corespawn Creepers. They're basically the same as Glyphid Grunts with more health and greatly increased mobility. Having them hop around the caves in RC and trying to chase them down is super fun because I CAN ACTUALLY FUCKING KILL THEM while still posing a decent challenge.
Suggestion:
- Introduce Corespawn Creepers into DRG
- Remove Corespawn Crawlers OR make them a 1/4 chance of replacing a Creeper spawn
Introduce the Teleporting Flesh-Spider and the Beardreaper MothThat's it.
There isn't much more to explain, its pretty cut and dry. Lore-wise, the Crawlers are still our first encounter with the Corespawn according to the bestiary/opposition entry for Crawlers, so maybe not remove them outright and simply make them spawn rarely alongside the Creepers, but I wouldn't be against just removing them outright because I fucking hate them.
