...First of all, when you change the difficulty level, the enemies level up. Instead of making the enemies more aggressive, more numerous, and of different types, they become more powerful. This is a problem because your ability to do damage is pretty dependent on your gear and level. There’s an underground space in the game which contains a few enemies that have ??? as their level. Shoot them, and you do 1 damage. I don’t care how good you are, but you can’t kill them. That’s… bullshit.

I agree with this.

The other day while watching one of the posted streams the person playing posted the following:

1: um i think my guns are too weak lol
2: The wizard is pissed...
1: prolly shouldnt have attempted at such low level on hard
1: when you kill it it's the end of the mission...
2: how does the difficulty choice work?
1: ill do some free roam
...
1: it lowers your weapons stats on harder difficulties
1: but i dont remember seeing those exploding hive on easier modes
1: maybe it adds more stuff too i dunno

This surprised me. It would really suck to get through the hardest level only to find that your weapons won't work on the one enemy left to finish the mission.
