Hunter killer groups

[Panda]

Seem very dumb and counter intuitive to the games general design

[Sailor Gloom]

Im guessing its to avoid getting a ton of loot just waiting for npcs to kill themselves buuuuut thats kinda the point of the aesthetic isnt it? To be a rat scurrying around? It would make more sense if youre grabbing a large high value piece of loot but having it happen just because you looted some potato chips and other junk from a dude is dumb

I think they're either based on amount of dead npcs or time in run, it's bugged either way I rhink since I get them within 1st minute or so sometimes

Not bugged. finding weapon parts or neurolinks spawns them. No one is sure what they do yet, but these are likely end game items.

For me it triggered when I looted water even though no one saw me. So its kinda bullcr*p for being a stealth game.

I've never seen them spawn over water, and I have 26 days worth as of now. There are multiple parameters for getting them to spawn, but you probably did something else to bring them in.

There seems to be multiple conditions to spawn them, not just a single way. They can spawn from killing too many enemies, looting certain items (or a lot of items as well, possibly) and also there's a chance to spawn them from simply opening those loot containers (not the ones dropped by enemies, the static containers).

Either way HKs ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck. It's like the games way of telling you "hey were you having fun? Sorry gotta put a stop to that. You were only allowed to shoot 4 enemies this match, and loot 15kg worth of gear. Time to die haha!" ♥♥♥♥ the water mechanic, hunter killers are the real problem man.

Idk, I just picked up water and that got prompt.

Would be an understandable thing at like 10 or 15 min they get sent out , but also give a general chance to stop their bs as well later on , so you can stay a bit longer or something . Have it be random like one faction just jams their coms or what have you . Getting hit with them on the first container now , 3 matches in a row within first minute .

I totally agree, no matter if you did everything right but if its true for hunter killer groups to appear by chance, that's just f up.

There are a few loot containers that always contain a neurolink or weapon parts. Just opening these containers will spawn the hunter killers.

It is water, fixed timer, repeated same map cool down, and overall group loot value. Possible RNG roll on loot all as well.

It triggered for me when I was at the Ashen Mesa. Tried going into the city and got enclosed by a squad of Synths and Russians. Had to fight my way and killed around 14. I understand that it spawned. But finding me right after, behind a wall in the desert was bs. Its hard enough to sneak by that large amount of enemies that spawn right in front of you, but to get a black fast robot dog that knows your location at all times ? I don't buy it. I'm addicted to the game but this thing is pushing me away from getting out of my comfort zone. I will just keep Water Farming at SE then.

[Killermajaro]

just had countless squads of them come for me :l ended one squad of them and another instantly spawned close by and went for me right after lol. 0 counterplay

i think the problem is they can also spawn AT the extraction
