“It’s already a nightmare trying to grab a core before loot thieves swoop in, all while dodging a Matriarch’s stomp,” noted one frustrated Reddit user. “Dumping all that ammo and healing just to walk away empty-handed is going to feel even worse now.”

On the bright side, the update has also “increased the probability of discovering high-tier gear within weapon cases.” This should theoretically reduce the frequency of finding underwhelming Burlettas, providing players with more robust firepower to survive the increasingly cutthroat competition for reactors.
