Black Tusks and There Drones need to go Or have something to stop the spamming .Its Getting deeply Infuriating.No matter how many times you kill the ones controlling them they come back Spam over a Over There AI Design is nothing more then cheap tactics .Ive killed the things a ones controlling them they crouch behind a hide move to another location a hide Spam over a Over again it’s getting ridiculous.The next wave does it again They just keep doing it .This to me Just Gameplay Tactics to annoy the player .Trying to deal with enemies flanking don’t need these Stupid drones spamming just to get the player out of cover.No matter how many times you kill the controllers they just Spawning I’ve had enough of this cheap tactic

Easiest way to deal with it is watch who's spawning them, then when they pop their head out to launch another attack either shoot their head off with a sniper rifle, OR gun down the drones over top of him with an LMG and they'll explode and likely kill the drone operator in the process. Also works for RC car-bomb spam as well though harder to hit because it's on the ground and not the air.
The drone guys are already the easiest enemy in the game. You can see when they deploy the drones and they always deploy them over their head. Just shoot the drones when they are over the head and it will kill a red, almost kill a purple and take all the armor from a yellow on heroic with 4 man team.
I mean, how should it get easier? They are the ones usually not shooting at you but cowering behind corner deploying their death sentence. You should even be able to destroy the drones everytime, since they are always above cover, whereas the cars are deployed behind cover and have several directions where they can go. Just shoot the drones when deployed with any weapon. These guys are even easier than the true son shotgun rusher, even easier than the hammer guy and that one is a joke.
I'm sure this is coming from I dunno the invaded missions maybe..I mean think about it for a minute.Originally Posted by Ubi-RealDude Go to original post
Otherwise though there isn't an issue with the spamming as most people have replied you just shoot the drones and it's going to kill the operator almost every single time.
these enemies are particular dangerous if i cant shoot the drones within ~3s after they spawn, because then the conroller does not take dmgOriginally Posted by Ubi-RealDude Go to original post
this can be due to physical obstruction, eg a wall or tall box, or because there are to many sniperdoggys/minitanks around so popping over is death within .2s
they are also very anoying when there are 3 or more dronecontroler in different positions spamming them nonstop so i cant shoot all of them
if there are like 5 or less enemies and a single dronecontroller then they die very fast due to their own drones explosion, but when things get hectic, especially on heroic, they can be a little bit anoying
but please dont simply nerf them to nothingness, let them be, but give them a small cooldown fortheir drones, like 5s or so after they sent them off with the red lightbulb
this way they are still very dangerous, but we dont have to fight a neverending stream of drones, under bad circumstances even without the ability to retaliate
Better question is what level are you running into problems. When you get a spawn of 3 or 4 of them the drone spam gets old really fast. The game is supposed to be FUN and challenging but the mobs having no internal cooldowns or ones that don't work is bad design. If I can't launch my stuff for a minute or two after using it neither should the bad guys.
The most unrealistic part of the game is that the bad guys have better gear. How and why? Can I be the guy in full marshmallow gear spamming nades with incredible accuracy please?
Black Tusk Drone Operators are a royal pain when they can pump out 2 explosive drones every 30 seconds while non-skill-build players typically take 120+ seconds to deploy even one. This is especially punishing when all your team mates get killed, and you cannot rez even one because the enemy drones arrive faster than the required rez-time.
