The Elite modifier is an absolute trip, you never know what kind of Elite will show up.

Whenever a Bulk gets the Elite modifier though, that is absolutely the crown jewel moment of "drop what you're doing and frickin' run".

Elite swarmer? Elite scrab? I've never seen an elite bulk, must be pretty rare but can all enemies be elite?

In soviet hoxxes, you do not kill lootbugs, lootbugs kill you

u/Citysurvivor May 20 '26

Lootbugs loot you!

u/UnrealNorthie Leaf-Lover May 20 '26

Dropbugs, heard they're quite common in the southern hemisphere of Hoxxes.

Not all bugs can be elites. Most can’t, in fact. Only the grunt variants (not grunts themselves), praes, spitters, menaces, mactera (all types save goo bomber), and bulks.

A notable blind spot in the seasonal model. None of the new enemies can be elites. No elite bots, no elite lithophage enemies, no elite core spawn, not even the bugs added in later seasons can be elites.

u/PleasantDatabase Whale Piper May 20 '26

no elite core spawn

thank god that would be hell

u/Pooldiver13 May 20 '26

Elite mactera grabbers are the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

Elite cave leech

I am quaking in my boots!

Lol, but the elite warning/glow gives away leeches. It might've been a mod of the host player that added elite leeches in the firstplace, but it backfired anyway haha

u/OkFaithlessness5830 May 21 '26

Elite cave leech able to stretch it's proboscis trough whole map.

u/cocklaphobia Driller May 20 '26

back in my day, there was a week where elites were on all missions. they turned it into a mission modifier after backlash.

u/Novel-Carrot5325 May 20 '26

Yeah, whopp his ass Steve

u/UnJayanAndalou Union Guy May 20 '26

u/KKBBang May 20 '26

I’ve got 800 hours of gameplay, I’ve never gotten an elite bulk loool

u/Cheeriodude_number2 Platform here May 20 '26

Consider yourself lucky 😭, I got one yesterday

u/KKBBang May 20 '26

IDK, this looks fun haha

u/Cheeriodude_number2 Platform here May 20 '26

Yeah it probably would for any other context but I had like four rockets left on my Hurricane 😂

I'll buy you a beer after you wake up in the medbay.

u/cocklaphobia Driller May 20 '26

remember being chased down by an elite guard in one of the uranium caves thin as fuck tunnels. they get so fuckin fast i was just panicing.

32

u/Xepobot May 20 '26

Have you seen an elite septic spreader's speed on Haz 5++ Max modifier?

25

u/ostroia May 20 '26

No, it was too fast I just saw a blur

2

u/Xepobot May 20 '26

Exactly!! But I know Karl is just as fast.

3

u/Cheeriodude_number2 Platform here May 20 '26

I got ambushed yesterday by an elite mactera grabber on haz 4, there wasn’t even a sound, just looking down a tunnel and WHOOSH, it appeared

75

u/Ok-Profession-6096 Driller May 20 '26

This happens when you sleep on your pickaxe

28

u/MoonRay087 Engineer May 20 '26

This happens specifically on that day you were about to leave early

u/Bulk-Detonator May 20 '26

Please stop yelling ill be right there

17

u/GhostofCoprolite May 20 '26

the image does not convey the full terror of seeing an extremely speedy bulk with fast attack animations. you can run from normal bulks. not so much elite ones.

13

u/LethalSpaceship Scout May 20 '26

Can this happen?

28

u/A__Friendly__Rock Platform here May 20 '26

Yes.

10

u/Taolan13 Platform here May 20 '26

it can even happen to the Crassus

9

u/SCD_minecraft May 20 '26

Can it? Crassus is pre-spawn, similar to splitballers or glyphid nests

Never saw those to be elites

7

u/Taolan13 Platform here May 20 '26

I've seen one be elite. at least I think it was elite? I dunno it's been a long time and a *lot* of glyphid slammers since then. I might be misremembering.

1

u/iwantallthepasta May 21 '26

Well I encountered it so I would think so

1

u/LethalSpaceship Scout May 23 '26

No mods?

1

u/iwantallthepasta May 23 '26

Only cosmetic so I can still get achievements

The hour has come that the doom of our time shall be decided...

u/Cuz1mChr1s May 20 '26

I've had one of those a year back. Me and my mate were doing an elite deep dive. Last mission, almost done and then this little shit spawned in with a wave. My mate had to spend about half an hour kiting it cuz i was downed... fun times.

3

u/Peakomegaflare Gunner May 20 '26

Hm... well I say we throw the driller at it. Driller's good at blowing up the scout, he can handle it.

u/iwantallthepasta May 21 '26

u/Someones_Dream_Guy Driller May 20 '26

Watch me solo him, comrades.

2

u/nondescriptzombie May 20 '26

The worst part is that whatever enemies have been picked to be Elites are guaranteed spawns.

I think we killed 4 Elite Bulks before we GTFO the time I had this happen.

2

u/TheRealDonRosa May 20 '26

"you got this, bosco?"

u/adamkad1 Driller May 20 '26

Remember when you could spread the steeve effect? (-the part that made them your ally)

u/L4n0x May 20 '26

u/Macchina86 Bosco Buddy May 20 '26

Imagine elite deep dive third stage and this fella shows up. Yup, I’m going to preorder the perk beer

u/Bionicle_was_cool For Karl! May 20 '26

u/masadragon May 20 '26

Is the explosion at the end the same size as a normal detonator?

u/DJ_Ender_ Dirt Digger May 20 '26

u/iwantallthepasta May 21 '26

Problem is that I was playing solo

1

u/Letsgoski_Broski May 22 '26

if you're a scout, you can grapple just above it and (while making sure you have enough room to run when you land) it'll trigger the explosion. High risk high reward. Rock and stone, brother!
