Are the mechs supposed to shoot the zombies?

[Your Neighbour]

Hi when I got to my first military base the mechs were shooting zombies on sight, but all other bases after that they just stopped shooting the zombies, are they meant to shoot the zombies or not?

[Pa]

No, they "work" together.

Ah

Do you perhaps know what base that was?
They indeed do "work" together, so we maybe have some rouge sentries on the map.

It's one of those ones in C2, I remember it having a large prison complex. They shot at the zombie 100% of the times and I went to the second base thinking the mechs would help me out which was not the case

I have never seen that. The Prison has many Rooms that are half underground. The Mech has probably Shot at a Guy in the Basement and he lured the Mech to kill the Puppets.

Ditto.
I asked the same question months ago.
Was told the same, they work together.
I've Never seen a Mech shoot a Pup.

That won't work unless they changed the hit detection because the puppets used to be immune to friendly fire. I complained about it many months ago though so maybe they changed that. It would be cool if they did change it. The NPCs should be able to accidentally hit each other.

They can definitely get hit by mechs, I hit prone when two puppets rushed me and a mech appeared out of the corner, I hit the ground out of panic and the bolts from the much killed one of the puppets.

Also the prison where the mechs were gunning down all puppets for whatever reason definitely show they can hit
