What's the deal with gambit enemies?

We're over a year into Gambit now and I still don't understand these guys. Doesn't matter if it's regular or prime.

Sometimes their ass is grass and I mow through them, sometimes they refuse to die and do loads of damage to me instead. With the same loadout. There are no modifiers active that I've noticed, and I can't find a definitive answer to this online anywhere.

Real question, what's going on here?

Depending on the round, the enemy composition may be different. More majors/less redbars. Sometimes, you'll encounter different enemies to fight against that may require a different approach. Ex: Rushing into a sea of Cabal Legionaries could turn out well, but running into a wall of Cabal Turrets? Might result in the need for a rez.

There are no handicap systems or hidden modifiers to make enemies hit you harder.

Are you seeing differences where enemies are requiring more damage to take down? A redbar dreg in one round taking more shots than another redbar dreg? Throw us videos if that's the case.
