Gears of War: E-Day's New Floating Ballsack Enemy Keeps Kicking My Ass

Gears of War: E-Day is out now on Xbox and PC, a prequel to the original trilogy set during the early days of Emergence Day with a 12-15 hour campaign. The new floating enemy known as spore maidens, nicknamed floating ballsacks, takes 200+ lancer bullets to down on standard difficulty and spits out needle-shooting spores. The author finds them frustratingly tanky and wonders why they never appear in later Gears games.
