    The White Tusk

    The new Legendary difficulty enemies are (the White Tusk)

    Legendary is going to be for the top 5% to 1% of players, the devs have said that it won't be for 95% or more of the playerbase.

    What makes the white Tusk different and harder than the rest (it's not health or damage) A.K.A bullet sponge/iness.

    Even though you have to have the right gear per say/god rolls etc etc etc , they say it's the AI itself is going to be the hard part, how they act/react and what they do against you.

    One example the White Tusk heavy tank does not have a healing Hive he has a Wasp hive that attacks you.so they try to close the gap between you and him.

    Apparently the new AI will use tactics and how to find your weakness and use it against you/take advantage of it.

    The loot in Legendary will be guarantee'd or primed more towards getting higher/better god rolls.

    Legendary also scales from solo to 4 grouped.

    PS: on a side note Heroic will be for all factions not just the Black Tusk.and heroic scales.

    You can solo everything apart from the Raids (yes)

    IN other words the AI is gonna cheat its butt off but its all good!! As long as its not constant spam it will be fine.

    I love it when they say stuff like this and then within a few hours of it being released there are speed run tutorials on youtube.

    Looking forward to the challenge!!

    Team work is what counts in heroic missions, communication etc in single player it's playing your strengths to the maximum I be noticed that in heroic they try to rush you surround and rinse repeat looking forward to seeing if this new difficulty will add changeable tactics you take a step the ai reacts you react we shall see

    It just sounds like the difficulty will essentially be the idea of combining hunters + heroic difficulty, nothing new or unique when it comes to concept. Plus heavies "tanks" with stinger hives will be far less of a threat than the ones we have currently see whom posses auto-healing backpacks. Much easier to handle opponents possessing deployable assets, than built-in assets.

    What is also interesting is that the White tusk's color is representing who they once were being LMB.

    It is interesting because for a while we have learned that the Black Tusk in DC and under Bradon's command are rookies and the less professional members of the Tusk organization.

    Now we have the White Tusk which is meant to be separate group in the Tusk organization but far more skilled, better equipped, and more professional with their missions.

    I am curious what will the other groups in the Tusk Organization be called since we now know the current two groups being Black Tusk and White Tusk.
