    Is this a bug or developer cheese?

    I cut this down so that you don't have to see the whole extended fiasco.

    This was my first run in Legendary TS with that character trying a tactician build and it's a match matching random group.

    The heroic agent reviving me was last man standing when 2 healing stations failed to pick up three of us. (we panicked and ran / crawled up the stairs. )

    Those elbows though.....

    For some reason the devs thought it would be cool to make any kind of close quarters action impossible with one-shot melee by the NPCs.

    It's stupid and lazy, and probably excused under the blanket of "meant for a team of highly skilled players".

    That move can OHK someone with a 2.6 million health shield in front of them. As already stated, working as intended. The intention is to mimmic players I think. They nerfed our rolling and being able to move away from cover has never been easy, but they allow NPC to roll twice the distance, at a higher speed, allowing them to roll directly on top of us as we are pulling back and one flick of the elbow and everyone in is OHK.

    The distance the game allows for contact from that and baseball bat and fire axe swings is about the same, the length of a garden rake / 4x that, of the object they are carrying.

    Pathetic if you ask me.

    Yup completely working as intended, so many wipes caused by insta death via elbow that obviously hits air but catches me anyway.

    I've just come to accept that the LMB on Legendary are some kind of cyborg with arms so strong that a throw of there elbow creates a concussive shock wave of air so powerful it can shatter titanium and kill mere mortals like us instantly.

    I mean how the hell else would you explain a red foot soldier throwing 1 bow and downing 2-3 people all of which rolled out of the way before a hit could connect?

    And......you wonder why people quit.
    It's the laziest coding in the world.

    Even Chuck Norris is jealous of that elbow.

    That doesn't bother me so much as the revive not working at all, it just seems like it's more prevalent in legendary though.

    I think it has something to do with the Green Revive Ult bugging out and making all revives that aren't from another agent also register as needed a cool down. I experience the same thing all the time playing were I feel sometimes its almost pointless to run Defib and the revive station as they fail to pick team mates up a good 50% of the time.

    Hell come to think of it I don't even know if that has anything to do with it as the revives from skills seem to work when they want to regardless if a revive ult has be used recently.

    Working as intended. Player have to keep moving to maintain distance and not facehug npc with their dps set.

    .
    Jealous? Why would he be? Who do you think taught them that move?

    On a more serious note, I really wish they'd have included a difficulty between challenging and legendary. Old AI with the health, damage, and accuracy, as well as the new placement of enemies that legendary uses. Then have legendary be where it's at now. Add to that Legendary+ where hunters are thrown into the mix.

    Give that to all current missions and underground and it's a decent DLC or "expansion".

    It seems more prevalent in legendary because people go down so much more in Legendary is al.
