If you haven't played QE, you could do worse than press "Next" now.

QE has as many bugs as is necessary for the players to almost die from,
but not quite. That means that at the moment the GM thinks the players
can't handle it any longer, no new bugs should come. That means with a
weak team you might have only ten spirits, while with a player team that
can handle the UCAS army all by itself, you could be looking at several
hundred.

Are you still talking about QE? To me at least it looks very much like
the players are supposed to do a frontal assault, going in guns blazing
and wasting everything that looks like a bug. Why else would they be taken
to an armory where they can get almost anything except MMGs, HMGs, or
miniguns?
