QueenGlandBuff
Buffs Beetle Guards by making them absolute units.
About this mod Author’s original text
QueenGlandBuff
The goal of this mod is to buff Beetle Guards spawned by the Queen's Gland so they provide more than just emotional support.
Skill Changes
The biggest issue with Beetle Guards is their inability to fight an aerial enemy, to counter this its attacks now launch projectiles.
These extra projectiles also make Beetle Guards deal a lot of extra damage so their damage has been reduced to compensate.
For its Slam skill it fires out 3 projectiles evenly upwards. This is mostly for crowds and flying enemies that are just out of range.
Its Sunder skill now fires 3 projectiles in the direction the Guard is aiming. This allows them to hit flying enemies.
AI Changes
The AI now prefers to use Sunder over Slam, this is so it doesn't get locked into using Slam against flying enemies that are slightly out of reach.
Item/Stacking Changes
Players can only have 1 Beetle Guard each, further stacks increase their health and damage.
The 30 seconds respawn timer now actually works.
Beetle Guards spawn with an elite affix for some extra spice.
Extra Skills
The mod also adds a Special skill called "Valor". This skill gives 100 armor for 10 seconds and also draws the attention of common enemies.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
