ally that fights for them. This Beetle Guard is much more powerful than normal; it deals 4 times as much damage and has twice as much health as a regular Beetle Guard. The number of Beetle Guards a player can have at once is equal to the number of Queen's Glands they have.

A new Beetle Guard is summoned as soon as the game finds a suitable location and if the player does not have the maximum number of Guards yet.

Notes

  • The respawn timer of 30 seconds is bugged and does not work properly. It starts with a timer of 0, so upon item pick up the Beetle Guard will attempt to spawn immediately. There is also a second internal cooldown timer of 1 second, which is used to retry a spawn when it has failed, e.g. because of chosen location. However, this internal cooldown is used even when a spawn has succeeded.
  • If the player damages the allied Beetle Guard with an item such as the Helfire Tincture.png Helfire TinctureBgLunar.pngHelfire Tincture.png45sHelfire Tincture
    Burn everything nearby... including you and allies.

    Ignite ALL characters within 15m for 12s. Deal 5% of your maximum health/second as burning as damage. The burn is 0.5x stronger on yourself, 0.25x stronger on allies, and 24x stronger on enemies.
    , it will give chase and attempt to attack the player. However, it will not do any damage.
  • If the SwarmsArtifact of Swarms is active, one Queen's Gland will result in two Beetle Guards spawning with half health.
  • The Queen's Gland is one of the few blacklisted items that Engineer.png Engineer'sEngineer.pngEngineerThe Engineer is a unique class that requires planning and positioning to be successful.

"Yeah, uh, Kaitlin? Let me know if you copy."

"I copy. What's up?"

"I've made friends? I don't know. "

"What? "

"The giant bug we killed earlier - well, the corpse seemed to attract a bunch of nasties. I was on my way to clean them up when I realized they were... waiting? Confused, maybe. Anyways, I was walking up to them to get rid of em, and strangely enough they seemed passive. The same bugs that gave me that concussion yesterday, and-"

"What?! Are you okay? "

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Anyways, I felt bad killin' them since they seemed all... inert and such. So I just kinda left and they've been following me ever since. Real weird. Anyways, I guess I've made some friends. I wonder what they eat... do they eat? Since they don't have any mouths that I-"

"Rich, stop! Please don't bring them back to camp! "

"Oh, well uh...I could - Junior, stop! Leave your brother alone! "
