Steps to Reproduce
log in and go to SE corner, to the “wastes” map point. down by the low riverbed, near the tent/chest/bugchest, there should be swarmers… swarming.
If you don’t see any, open the bug chest, it should force them to spawn.
Expected Result
area in the Southeast is swarming with swarmers, and they respawn when you talk to the sniper, or open the bug chest.
Observed Result
no swarmers either organically, or forced.
Platform(s)

Additional Notes
if i just need to re-upload or something, let me know. Swarmers have been glitching a bit before then, stuck in spawn points, on geometry, in their flight mode animation. Separate issue.
Top of screenshot here you can see a lobber that spawned when I opened the bug chest. you can hear him and a guy behind me, up on the ledge, spawn when you open it. squishy.
That same squish should be 2 swarmers per second until there’s 10.
I guess something changed with the backend for the swarmers?
When I finally got into the editor, I see it set to this instead of swarmer.
So I’m setting it back to swarmer and testing locally (waiting, taking a long time, will update later).
So there’s potentially a fix/workaround?
These spawners seem to be buggy as hell (at least when they spawn any type of a swarmer). I myself found another issue - when any eliminated swarmer immediately ends the round, when any other creature (wolf, chicken, frog, boar, dino) doesn’t trigger that.
Idk what to advise here.
that seems bizarre, since it’s the same wildlife spawner as the others. Do you have any elim managers or anything that would be keyed into bugs?
I could see some weirdness if it was a whole other type of device, but odd that it’s not consistent.
