And it seems like they’re moreso than when the Jade Light update was new.
It feels like their eximus ability tracks more accurately now and moves noticeably, but not drastically, faster. This is bad enough in normal missions but the 1999 tileset can exacerbate it a lot by making hunting the thing down harder above ground or being unable to stop the beam because its origin point is above the ceiling below ground.
Anyone else feel this way/notice the difference?
Tbh I still prefer them over the arctic eximus, those stacking bubbles made some weapons practically unusable.
The amount of eximus units in 1999 is also the prime candidate for arcane fortifier if you really still struggle
Veximus, if you will.
I will say, if you have some way of blocking the heat procs, it’s the heat that scales exponentially, the light itself deals fixed damage. Was noticing this with overguard frames, status cleaners, and watching a streamer with Well of Life.
Personally I haven’t noticed a change as much, but I’ve been tuning my loadouts to be able to self-sustain life support without towers, and such builds tend to murder eximus through walls before they can do the same to me.
They should need LoS to target you, but of course only we are punished by LoS
I have just learnt you can stop the beam without killing the eximus. Can’t help you on tracking speed, I find as long as you keep moving they don’t catch up.
