The addition of the Russian robots was brilliant.

Traveling around the map and running into battles between the 2 factions is VERY immersive and an outstanding update I didn't see coming. Good work.

Now everything is still trying to kill you but also each other

Its a nice feature... until one of them saw you. They stop fighting and start shooting you

You can watch their battle and wait until they are weakened before attacking (if you are solo).

I've had multiple cases of robots attacking me well outside of their normal detection range instead of the Soviet bot right in front of them

The problem might be that the robots are already in battlemode and the usual sneeking/invisibility does not help to avoid detection. However, staying far away and just watching the show or ducking behind walls helps me a lot. Afterwards I will loot the wreckage. Some kind of a vulture-mode style

[♂TheBlasterMaster™✞]

I watch with a scope or binoculars or from far away and have not been detected

Just watched 3 Wolves kill a Tank, then in another battle, a Harvester killed a single Wolf. These battles are amazing.

The instant detection around firefights between bots is awful. Whatever they could have added to the game is ruined by this and other issues.

It's about the same as the robots detecting players I think. Even if it weren't perfect, I'm sure they will continue to improve it as they do with most other things in the game. My point is this was a great addition to the game.

How can it be a good addition when it makes using stealth on a large part of the map impossible?

So all updates are useless if not perfect?

Breaking stealth isn't some kind of small inconvenience or something that can easily go unnoticed. It's immediately noticeable the moment both types of bots are around and breaks gameplay on a basic level. The devs either didn't know or didn't care and shoved the update out regardless. Wouldn't be the first time.

Did you report it? Not a post here, an official report.

So wanted to play this last night to stop thinking about what's happening in the real world... Then remembered the same motif was introduced in the game. I passed.
