It's actually a sub-version of the Praetorian. I believe it will spawn instead of one.
Four drillers with cryo cannons and C4 will deal with this bug in no time.
Until we add a wooly variant.
The big question is: how is it going to spawn?
If it's a special spawn like bulks or acid spitters, then it kinda fails as a general bunker deterrent.
On the other hand, if it's just a praetorian variant that is always on the spawn tables like glyphid guards & slashers it seems kinda... lame? Like, I don't understand why it's a variant in that case and they didn't just upgrade the base praetorian again.
Personally, I'm hoping GSG has developed some tech for dynamic spawns so that oppressors only appear when the game detects that the team is bunkering. But given the fast turnaround on this enemy I don't have great hopes for that.
It’s a praetorian variant, so it will occassionally spawn instead of one of those. It’s not going to spawn because there is a bunker or a bunker-friendly objective. I asked for that, but in the end it’s up to the designers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can’t really argue against players wanting to dig the terrain to their advantage in a game with hordes and deformable terrain.
If people want to have fun doing that, it’s fine. We just don’t want it to be an exploitable strategy.
