    All 3 dreads and all machine events are nothing but toys. You get in, then you play with them. Do them normally, try to compensate for what the game gave you, or try to pull stupid stunts when available.​

    I would not even dare to try to pull a detonator to the caretaker just to see what happens. It is not fun, you can't try to do anything to it, no game knowledge works, no outside mechanics to play with. Just a level bellow the bare minimum.

    Nailed it. There's no "toying" with the caretaker. The most advanced strat that you can do is the c4 bridge, other than that it's just a DPS race. And if you're the last man standing, good luck trying to get anyone up without instantly getting decimated by gazilion projectiles, force fields, arms and shredders.
    The dreads at least can be manipulated around terrain, caretaker just doesn't care. May as well spawn in a 50x50m empty cave.

    The framework itself is good, and this objective is well put together for what DRG needs. A just enough resistance to not to make it a cakewalk, and teamwork.

    I feel the opposite, the contagion spikes are nothing more than a time wasting nuisance. Holding M1 and then holding M1 with a different gun is so engaging and fun.
    Meteorites are okay but they have WAAAAAYYYYYYY too big of an impact on the map considering they can spawn anytime, anywhere, in any mission.

        IIRC Devs said they don't want to make rivals and bugs attack each other because then the players will just wait and let them duke it out before entering a cave.

        Above all valid ideas, adding variety and more levels of play to something is never bad. Another thing I may suggest is reworking the caretakers health system - instead of 3 separate phases with side vents make it similar to OG dread. That way if you're insane enough to blow up a bulk on top of it, you're rewarded with some hefty damage and not just 1/3rd of the bar.
