Swarm Mutalist + Mutalist Ospreys + Horde = Permanent Armor Buff

[[DE]Momaw]

Swarm mutalist ospreys give an armor buff to infested allies that they apply their nanite swarm to.  Normally this buff is intended to wear off after a short time.

 

However, if the nanite swarm buff is applied to mutalist ospreys or possibly their dropped crawlers, the buff can potentially become permanent for them and other infested that were affected at the same time.

 

First noticed in ordinary gameplay, easy to reproduce in simulacrum.

1.) Summon a few chargers and a few swarm mutalists. Fight for a bit, notice armor is applied to chargers and wears off quickly.

 

2.) Now summon a mix of chargers, mutalist ospreys, and swarm mutalists and fight them for a bit. You will end up with some permanently armored infested.
