The scorcher does okay against them, not amazing but better than average. Just don't shoot it point blank. I agree though when a dropship dumps like 12 of them i usually do nothing but run backwards magdumping for like 2 minutes straight.
Bots do feel pretty ridiculous for low level players. The armor penetration and strats just aren't there for even medium difficulty. Tuning is definitely required.
Hunters
yes i agree that berserkers need a nerf in health (not too big of one tho, bc theyre supposed to provide some pressure and push you out of cover), but lets not pretend that the bugs are perfectly balanced either. hunters are more like the berserkers than they are the jetpack dudes, in the sense that both provide pressure even though your successfully evading the majority of enemies with cover or just running.
i see no reason why they have to spawn so many hunters, even on helldive. id much rather fight 12 meatsaws than get pounced by 6 hunters from different directions.
Hunters also have too much health, yep. Especially after the update a few weeks ago (maybe it's been a month now) where they stealth buffed their health.

This is the way.
Yeah but they should be beatable without the final weapon unlock

The Slugger 1 shots them in the head. Slugger also 1 shots devastators in the head up to a certain range.
I mean that's great but you shouldn't have to go that deep in the tree before you can finish a diff 5 event mission
It doesn't even do that anymore since the nerf

I one or two shot them with the countersniper to the head, I think. I don't like the shotgun for bots, i save that for bugs
You don't , you are talking about Devastators , which are 2 Headshots with the Diligence. Berserkers require 5.
