Boomrats

You never really know fear until you get a massive manhunter pack of boomrats...

Anyone else notice the boomrat hide is still red, despite the model being updated?

[christhekiller]

Actually Boomrat manhunter packs are among the easier of the manhunter packs. They practically all kill each other once the first one explodes. Whereas a herd of charging elephants can power through a hail of gunfire a herd of boomrats will be lucky to even touch a well organized defense

[makapse]

at least they are not boomalopes. The rats dont have that big a explosion. A good pistol wielder with hiding behind a door should be enough

[Nasikabatrachus]

boomalopes are actually fairly easy to deal with, since those huge explosions hit a solid fraction of their rabid packs. just worry about the fires.

Squirrels are the deadliest animals of all.

I'd have to say a throwup between Tortoises and Squirrels;
on one hand, Squirrels are ridiculously fast, and tend to bunch up, you'll be swarmed and slaughtered in seconds, like ground-piranhas
on the other, Tortoises are ridiculously slow, and you tend to forget about them until sometime in hte next season when they finally show up and you have a few dozen armoured, face-destroying monstrosities lumbering through your fields looking for easy prey..

is that what boomrats  look like now?
.....
I... preferred the old look. I prefer the old look very much.

I personally love boomrat raids, because they look so epic during a rainy night. But I might not anymore because those new rats look weird.

I had a pack of 43 muffalo manhunters show up and decimate my 6 colonists. Rip 1st colony

[Pickleinthahouse]

how i lost my best colony, sadly i wasn't stocked up on automatic weapons and they don't bunch together that much anymore, the turrets didn't help at all...33 boomrats...when they get in close it's basically over considering the fact that they explode.

The original model kind of grew on me.

I'm grateful Tynaan changed the model. The old one looked like a placeholder to me and the distinction between squirrels and boomrats is much easier now

[SpaceDorf]

But they look like the legless cousin of a baneling mated with a bellow ...

Also Red ones go faster
