Control Unit Bug

[TheDuke37]

So for some reason when we were doing Sky Meadow. The Control Unit (giant floating eye boss) spawn thousands of feet in the air, and on the other side of the map. It was SO high that my friends (who were the Commando and the Merc) couldn't hit it. We tried everything from rockets, to trying to tp to it using that one orange item, even tried Diablo Strike on it. Nothing work. So I, as the Captain had to sit there just shooting it for 30 mins.

Mercenary has the ability with a well placed dash to send an enemy (most easily demonstrated on a solus control unit on sky meadow) flying in a direction with an extremely high velocity. You can use this on stage 4 to slam the alloy worship unit into a pillar and kill it instantly with collision damage. But what most people experience is sending it flying on sky meadow out into the abyss.

Well guess what? Someone forgot to correctly implement stage boundaries for enemies, so it's just suck out there. You literally need a character or ability with infinite range, or you kinda just have to reset, or wait like 45 minutes for it to come back. It sucks, but that's just how it works

It was the elite boss version of it. I didn't think bosses could be pushed back?

all enemies can be pushed.

huh, did not know that...

It's easier to push aerial enemies than grounded enemies, with Loader, Rex, and Merc having the easiest time among the roster of shoving enemies around period thanks to momentum jank, having a shove, or loader's pull if well aimed. This can be used to instakill alloy worship as mentioned, but a more commonly appearing use of it is crushing Wandering Vagrants against things

Should be fixed. Enemies should't fly hundred of meters in the air. Either they should die instantly at a certain highed or just have a boundary they can't cross.

bosses take significantly less knockback. The thing is, like I said in my initial comment, mercanry can place a dash in just the right spot, and it for some reason just sends the boss flying.

If you want a comparable example to what's happening on a smaller scale, hit an elite wisps with a fully choked captain primary, they go flying (and will instantly die upon hitting a wall)

That bug still exists as of Feb. 2022.
