AI shooting civilians being used as a shield.

[Glock Fawty]

So I was playing Greased Palms, got up to the second story office section without any problems. Here is where you (at least sometimes) encounter a perp using a civilian as a human shield while firing a pistol at you/teammates.

As I'm taking fire from this bad guy I go to line up a precise headshot, only problem is at that point one of my dumbass AI teammates comes into view and proceeds to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mag dump both the civvy and the perp. Both hit probably at least six times, both very dead.


WTF over?!?!?

It happens 1300 times a year in the U.S. for real. Some cops shoot first and worry about the consequences later. It is called officer safety (COWARDICE) for us civilians...I.E. UVALDE...

Yeah AI officers will go full Russian if a badguy has a human shield at short range.

It's very frustrating considering this behaviour stems from the increased fire rate introduced in v1.0, something that was completely unnecessary in the first place.

Yeah that's cool and whatever IRL but it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that doesn't belong in this game. You do literally nothing wrong and your AI teammate ruins your score.

One could argue you were simply too slow

It would be a very poor argument.

When this happened to me, it was when I ordered SWAT to open and clear a room. That's something I should be able to trust them to do without any major issue. There shouldn't be an issue where they cause you to fail a mission because SWAT AI shot a civilian who is essentially stationary.
