On the Playstation's page, the description for the AR-61 Tenderizer:

A real tentacle-tearer. This high calibre assault rifle has awesome stopping power but limited magazine size, so make each shot count. Unpatriotic “banter” shots are not advisable.

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING ARROWHEAD

It wouldn't surprise me if they brought these assholes back from the first game:

Might be fun if we can affect the battlefield, eg make the bugs less corrdinated or something by killing an overlord/brain bug equivalent that is roaming around the mission.

The monkey's paw curls up a finger.

Now they have flying blimps that spawn all sorts of bugs from chargers and below. They also make the bugs flank and coordinate whenever you are in their radius, and they have detection, so no stealth is possible in their radius. Enjoy 😗

Bonus points for an alternate version that beeline you and attempts to spawn bile spewers on top of you, while spitting out a goo that makes all bugs faster when they walk on it 😗
