Pals not using Mounted Machine Gun

[Stetside]

I have 3 machine guns mounted in my base, but when intruders reach the base the Pals who are supposed to shoot with the mounted machine gun, just get out of it and attack with normal powers.

Any way to make it work?

You’d have to place them further in.

Currently the game doesn’t have Pals aggro the enemies unless they’re in the circle and if they’re aggro’d to you, your pals or the base. If you attack before they get there they won’t even attack you.

The only other way is find a place where the raids spawn up or below a cliff that allows the AI to trigger aggro before they reach you. But this means wasting space and risking your Pals falling off or going dumb places and getting stuck.

Put some rifle ammo in a chest near it and it will work. I also faced the same problem.
