    Questions about Cleaners' shields

    1. Why the Shield wielders from the Cleaners faction beeline for the player? They go by friendly NPCs without even looking at them, and when near the player, they wack the axe they're wielding to deal 400-500k damage in one hit.

    2. What is that shield made of? I want my armor to be made of that material. The only way to stop them at the moment is to shoot the legs.

    Because they are rushers, it's probably due to some sort of behind the scenes "threat" override. It's never really clear, since it's also sometimes about proximity.

    I don't think it's about proximity. They come from the farthest side of the battlefield, go past my friendlies, ignoring them like they're just random doodad, and aim straight at me.

    It was stated in the Patch Notes of the Title Update 8 that Enemies are more likely to attack the Players. It's not only NYC also in DC.
