Did enemies get buffed recently, or did the meta change that much?

I was gone for a little less than a month after finishing last season. Did I miss something?

For context, I run a full VATS build, and every armor set I had on was built for it. For example, I have a full set of Limit-Breaker’s. I was running with Dom Pedro, and all my perks were set up for that build.

We were doing Prime Meat, finished it, and then Bigfoot showed up. There were maybe five of us because it was late at night. I thought we would be fine since there were a few level 1500 players there, plus me at level 750.

Five minutes later, we had only done about 25% damage to Bigfoot. I was only doing around 200 normal damage, and sometimes I would see an 800 crit. Eventually, we all just left because it was taking too long.

Then the next day, I logged on and saw someone had popped a bounty. We had at least 10 people there, but all the 2-star and 3-star enemies took forever to kill. This time, I was running what used to be my raid-level power armor with a Gauss Minigun, and it still took forever.

So I’m wondering: what did they do to enemies, and what is the meta now? It kind of sucks being gone for less than a month and coming back to the meta feeling this different.

I’m honestly just getting tired of having to change my armor and guns every season. I would hate to be a fresh level 100 trying to play solo right now.

Edit: Thank you guys so much i thought i was going crazy! Was super quick! Turns out i was being dumb, and they just changed the tankyness of some enemies.

Hi was looking to replace my m80

New Player here. I have the m80 (yes with deadbolts) I don't really like its play sytle in pve combat. (The boom, and zoom) I am doing Hard/ very bounty hunters missions. I want something that is alittle more tanky, and that hits hard. Something that caught my eye was 2 ships within alien week was the stinger or The prowler which one would be more suited for those kinds of missions.
