FRIENDLY FIRE IS COOL, BUT GETTING KILLED BY YOUR OWN GUARD DOG, IS STUPID!

[FafnirYMD]

you have no control over it, at least make the guard dog hover above the height of the character

[lockwoodx]

and now you know why no one uses it. Complete lack of common sense went into its design.

[Driverben]

It doesn't happen often for me, but yeah, it does get really annoying when your guard dog will just randomly decapitate you. Would be nice to have an option to recall it to your back if you didn't want to use it.

[ODINMASTER]

This has never happened to me

The thing is when it does that, you just cost your entire team a respawn point. Better not to use it at all then take the risk.

I dont know why it cant just hover 1 meter above your head...

I mean yeah but it solo carries pretty hard, your less likely to get domed by the rover than the live ammo variant. You get use to it after a while in going "around" it in making sure you dont end up getting hit.

The problem with guard dogs and turrets is that instead of stopping their fire when they switch targets they sweep across like a dumbass.

[TNinja]

Being surrounded is already a death sentence, and ROVER is just making sure you die even faster.

It was always a little dangerous but they've done something to it in the first "balance" patch they released. I suspect they lowered it's height slightly, possibly to improve visibility, but whatever they did it was a poor decision.

[Delta_44]

Sigh... no one noticed.
Aight, let me HELP.

The guard dog hover to the right side of where the camera is facing.
If you quickly turn around the guard god will move and will stop killing you.

You can also employ this tactic to help it kill things behind rocks or random obstacles that are in its line of fire

In that balance patch they fixed some bugs where some strats were not doing their full damage to friendly fire victims. Flamethrower and Rover both became much more dangerous after that patch. It used to nip all the time but it did so little it barely ever player killed.
