The Marauder spawns his dog if any demon attack hims

[Logitek]

Is this a bug or is it completely intentional that this happens at all?

I'd initially see it as a bug, but considering the dog isn't really a big threat and this hasn't been fixed yet, I can imagine it's more or less become intended.

i have no idea but considering it hasn't been "fixed" or "patched" not even addressed, it's probably here to stay. i suppose no-one really knows for sure, though it certainly does feel like someone should say something. in any case, "as long as the player learns, i don't care what happens" -Hugo 20XX, something along those lines

not a big threat ?

if you are not kill the Wolf fast he bite you and on Nightmare he is have insane bite force + really fast

yes its die from 1 shoot but if you are not kill him he run faster than you and bite you

btw i think the shooting mecha zombies activate Marauder shield is bigger problem :D

I don't consider the dog a big threat, no. I always notice it with its very outstanding color and I always remove it immediately due to its very low health.

That being said, again, it's interpretable that fire from other demons should be able trigger the dog.

On one hand, the Marauder summons his dog for support while he is occupied with his shield- on another hand, the dog is a gameplay element specifically designed to discourage shooting at his shield.
