I always thought that It'd be an interesting mechanic if smaller Bugs like Scavengers and Bile Spitters did less damage to you but were capable of latching onto you in droves to weigh you down, mess with your aim, and do damage over time as they bite you. There'd also be the rist of a turret aiming at you while they're latched, or Bile Spitters blowing up on you if they die while latched, and you'd need to shake them off first by diving and rolling or having a fellow Helldiver shoot them off without hurting you.

Also, a Shrieker large enough to grab a Helldiver and pick them up, lift them and drop them to their deaths, only letting you go if you do them enough damage.
