JustWalkedInHowdy, I have just activated the Bugs and have defended Drassen several times from bug attacks. So after the last attack I figured I would go into the mine to see what the deal was. I make it all the way to the bottom, and have not faced a single bug. I find a bunch of ammo and grenades from previous dead people, and 2 jars that I know are related to the bugs, but no idea how. As I got to the last level, I approach an area that contains, what I assume to be, bug eggs. But, there are no bugs at all on any of the levels, and if there was a Queen type bug in the egg area, she is missing as well. Just what do I have to do to solve the bug dilemma?
FYI: Captured all of Drassen, Alma, took Tixa, and the Drassen SAM. So if there's an NPC I'm supposed to talk to in one of these towns, or a future one, I have not encountered them yet.
For whatever reason, the bugs tend not to be 'home' when you first investigate their tunnels - especially if you do it in daylight, or soon after they've made a raid and been defeated (they're still trying to breed up their numbers again). However, if you do recce the mine, leave, then turn right around and go straight back into the mine, you'll likely run into them. (Bring lots of HP ammo... and a change of underwear for your mercs. :diabolical:)
You also lost a big chance to make a cheap 'win' by not having explosives along when you found the queen's lair (the place with the clusters of egg-sacs). If you'd set some patterns of remote-detonated bombs throughout her lair while she wasn't there, you could have brought along a detonator-remote during your return visit and started a nice little fireworks show.... :luckystrike: Ah, well, you'll know that for next time through the game.
You want to talk to Gabby or Rat about the bugs, though personally I've never met Rat. I can't remember where to find either off the top of my head, I'm afraid - though I *do* know that one of Gabby's possible locations is in the desert just west of Alma. He'll give you a lot of info on the bugs and offer to sell you 'elixir', which sort'a hides you from the bugs - I never bothered with it and went in guns blazing - and more jars; he'll also buy any bug-bits left over from your encounters with them, as ingredients for more elixir.
The jars are for expressing 'royal jelly' from the bug queen's corpse once you kill her. The stuff's better than Compound 18 for reinforcing your armour - and also makes it lighter *and* bumps up its camo bonus. *GREAT* stuff, get every jar of it you can... but don't try to apply it to items already coated with C-18, as the two treatments eat each other (and the armour).
