    NPCs have stopped using cover and mainly want to melee me to death.

    This restarted after the Title Update 3 patch and I've seen other people talking about it happening to them as well. NPCs who would normally stay in cover and only get aggressive when cornered or when they were the last NPC left in the encounter have suddenly started chasing me down just to try to melee me. They don't shoot while they run, their only objective is to punch me in the face.

    I just did a bounty on Indiana Avenue at the burnt out police station - the BOSS charged up 3 flights of stairs to try to melee me. I roll backwards and shoot him, he rushes to melee me again. Rinse and repeat 4 times. I finally get done with that nonsense and when I walk out the front of the building there's 2 roaming Black Tusks and Warhound. I kill the Warhound from cover and what does one of the Black Tusk guys do? He sprints up and tries to melee me while completely ignoring his gun.

    This was a problem before TU3 and it was fixed. This problem has been reintroduced with TU3. Please fix it again, thank you.

    Hi Tarquinesque! Thank you for the report. Do you happen to have any videos from this issue by chance?

    I noticed this as well. Bot controller, drone controller, and some flankers tend to melee way too often now instead of shooting their weapon. It would be fine to brawl if not for the fact that their melee is 150k per punch and our melee is 3k per punch hehe.

    There’s a large Reddit post on this issue. Things have gone backwards in terms of AI rushing. I’ve seen it in every aspect of the game since TU3. Check points, missions, bounties, raid. Please fix!

    Hey guys! This issue has been reported to the TD2 team. They are currently working on a fix for the overly aggressive AI. We appreciate the reports!
