My son and I have a regular schedule of running missions in the evening. We run with just the two of us so we usually run medium. That was a painful mistake tonight on Meridia. So many Shriekers we could barely see the sky. Breaches everywhere. We made it in spite of it all. Over 2 thousand bugs dropped. ON MEDIUM.
The only difference is fewer bug types spawn, but the spawn rate is pretty much exactly the same and the shriekers at the end every bit as impossible to deal with
We dropped to Easy after the first run and managed well but it feels like the difficulty is 1 step higher than advertised. We're going again tonight with a whole different loadout. Hopefully we can pull off Medium.
