Hoping for more difficulty

Currently there's nothing in the game that's challenging for the more experienced players. When Oshaune had a hivelord, regardless of how clunky and odd it was, it was a great amount of difficulty, even running a full squad was not a guaranteed success.

I play duos almost exclusively to make the game harder, and the minimum for an engaging and challenging mission is a bug planet with a predator strain and even then, if you both know what you're doing, it can be a walk in the park.

I'm not interested in nerfing my loadout to get a bigger challenge. Sure, occasionally I'll run a non-optimal build for the fun of it, but I dont want to cripple myself on every mission and be unable to pick the equipment I like to use.

It's been said before, I know, but I really hope to spread some more awareness about it. I'm also aware and agree that optimization and bug fixes are first priority.

Fingers crossed.
