exor grunts never shoot now

[Crochwhisle purple]

has anybody else noticed this behavior?

[Jartym]

You're right, I was only noticing "they go for melee from farther away" recently, but in reality after testing it looks like the green exor just don't do the ranged attack at all.

Was there a recent patch? Our group hasn't ran into an Exor Grunt in a while to notice. Technically, we literally we have ran into them, but those were hit and runs with a vehicle. Though, I don't recall it shooting like it used to as we drove away.

i fight them quite frequently to get the quills needed for throwing knifes, but they never fired once. I even threw a knife in its skull from the closer side of the elevator and it still only ran at me and leaped without doing any other attack

I've run into quite a few of those biggin Exors and they grenade and quill me just like normal. Even had one grenade me through the Security window LOL

Might want to verify files?

the SOLDIERS (or whatever they called, the ones in armor) work fine, but the GRUNTS (green guys) never shoot now

I've been wondering about that. They look like they should shoot you but all they've ever done is run up to melee me. It makes them incredibly easy to kill.

[Cally Emeraldaz]

yea i wondered about that too, kinda weird how they dont shoot anymore in labs

[Crochwhisle purple]

also the soldier exors scream a lot more than doing anything more, and their grenade attack makes them freeze in place before it explodes, so they are real easy to kill (unless you are using a blunt or firearm cuz the devs hate those for some reason)
maybe this new behavior is why the grunts are broken now

I've noticed a lot of broken AI in general since the christmas update. Peccaries seem to freeze in place if you interrupt their charge before it starts, Exor Monks randomly freeze sometimes, Grunts don't shoot any more, exor soldiers freeze randomly.

honestly they could make the peccaries thing into an addition to its ai

if you hit them just as they start their charge, you daze them since their momentum goin into your used weapon will disorientate them for a few small secs, which means that to balance it out abit they can make em deal more damage

since its a very early on enemy, it would be cool for them to give the enemy a unique way of defeating them by being quick with your timings

[Cally Emeraldaz]

however i do hope they intend to fix the exor grunt's ai regarding them not shooting, it wouldnt make sense for the way its shown in alot of the early level places, since they are always shown dead or crushed by their darts goin towards humans or machines, meaning its shown that they shot alot of darts before they died

[Sanguine Skull]

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Not that I personally have a problem with it. Exors can get bent.

[Eldar Farseer]

i guess its due to their improved ai since it started with the ai update

[MagpieOAO]

Yeah noticed that, i was thinking maybe it's cause they're easier in single player or somethin?

Yes, sorry about that! This was a bug we introduced in the last hotfix. This will be resolved (along with a lot more AI upgrades) in the next update.

Please treat your Exor friends well in the meantime.
