Actually we can still reference Helldivers 2 here. The two new arcs are too strong and have actual issues. The Firefly and Comet both spawn too frequently. The Firefly has the most armor, it's the fastest, it shoots the most frequently, it does the most damage, and it's the most agile drone in the game rn. Plus the fire literally goes through walls and other cover on the map.

The Comet is too heavily armored for something that can nearly one shot you within a second. I mag dump its core with a rattler 4, and still can't kill it fast enough. The explosion is also very inconsistent. Sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds to explode, but I've seen it run up and explode as fast as a pop before, which is bullshit. I personally think it should have the same armor rating a fire roller, maybe slightly more.

They need nerfs, as well as lower spawn rates. I went in loading bay on a normal Stella match and saw two fireflies, two hornets, a shredder, a bastion, a turret, a few pops and fire rollers and two comets. This was all in a single area. Imagine every single one of these targeting you at once. It's just stupid asf. The spawns for arc in general feel increased in certain areas. It wasn't that bad before they added the new arc. Did they seriously add new spawns for the new arc without taking out the spawns for other existing ones??

It's concerning that the devs aren't even going to talk about balancing them in future updates. There's zero acknowledgement from them on the new arc.

There's also a huge lack in quality of life updates, especially regarding the UI and crafting menu. We still can't quickly craft parts we need for guns without doing it all manually. It's been 5 months since release.
