    Skating and sprinting enemies

    Today i saw enemies(not only the rushers but other archetype as well) skating and sprinting between covers (directly moving between covers on air) and also rushing towards me as if they were like some kind of avengers . The game has become a joke these days more than fun. Now Ubi will say I don't know the mechanics.
    Almost done UBI. thanks for the game. Currently in WT3 will definitely make it to WT5 just because i bought this game.

    I guess that's a connection problem on your front.
    "skating" I've seen occasinally in haven safe house NY from players and always took for granted they were on a bad connection, never from npc's in open world or missions.

    If they don't receive any kind of damage or you don't see the health/armor bar dropping while you shoot them, then it's a connection issue.

    If they receive damage & the health/armor bar drops while you shoot them... it's a behavior bug. Happens sometimes with TrueSons/Outcasts LMG gunner when you shoot its ammo pouch.

    Hey,

    This usually happens if there are issues around the network so as the team have said above, it is possibly a connection issue.

    Been that way since launch, was exactly the same way in div1. People will claim it’s your connection but now there is a connection meter under settings, it’s the servers.

    I ran into skipping/teleporting on short distance Hyenas a moment ago after today's server reboot. If it's a connection issue, it's certainly not on my side.

    "Connection" implies an issue between you and the servers. Doesn't necessarily mean your hardware or your ISP is at fault, doesn't necessarily mean the game's servers are. Ever since I started routinely running traceroutes to services I'm using, I've noticed a LOT of routing faults in random hops along the way. What's been highlighted in that video is - to me - a clear case of lost connection.

    That said, there ARE behaviour issues. Hyena Shield units' animation state will break if you hit them with a confuse, such as from the Gunner Specialisation Banshee Pulse. They become locked to a single animation frame and slide around in that frame. I assume either their "stunned" animation isn't playing or they don't have one properly set up. They very likely need their own animation set to avoid the shield clipping their body or sitting at odd angles, which might be what's causing the issue.

    Point being, I gave up on the Banshee Pulse for this reason.
