The gloom gives much more spawns, I had a game last night where all four of us had over 500 kills on level 7. I love it.

MODERATORS
Completed two lvl 7 operations with a duo squad. My squadmate had to carry my dead weight around.
Yes, there's more bugs than normal.
That seems to be the general consensus in the comments. Interesting!
too right, but maybe it's cause of the gloom?
Yes. Drives me nuts. Level 4 is way harder than level 4 anywhere else. I normally do 7's on other maps.
Also, I already disliked how low visibility the whole game was before this! I do not care for this.
I don't mind them if it's just one to four planets, but yeah, they are very different than normal missions.
Weird. Tbh, no. We played a full cycle on difficulty 8 last night, and, while the new bugs presented reasonable challenge, raw numbers wasn't it at all. Tbh, kill count was lower than usual.
Huh, maybe we just got a weird RNG for all three missions. They felt like 8-9s, in terms of difficulty. It was fun, but eye-popping for a 7, lol.
Yeah this is definitely the case.
Plus the gloom hides all radar signatures & they're hidden until they skitter on top of you, the it's too late.
Last mission there were 4 separate bug holes that never closed on while we were trying to raise the flag....it was absolutely ridiculous at lvl 7.
Wow, that is nuts.
My group played some level 7 missions last night and experienced the same thing. High number of bugs, especially heavies like titans and chargers.
My squad and I had a blast on level 8. The new bugs are scary especially with higher numbers but we didn't encounter any frustration. We do generally try to run from breaches rather than make a stand. Our kill counts were very elevated like you mentioned.
