    Large damage difference in free roam

    Suddenly (started a day or two ago) I take massive damage when freeroaming (Heroic). I have been able to sustain some damage from PVPs but suddenly a few seconds and I am gone. The difference is real.

    Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

    Erratic open world difficulty has been a thing for quite some time now, esp. on difficulty below Heroic. Haven't run into it lately though, thought it might have been fixed in TU10.

    On all NPCs or just specific ones? BT hits like a mother******.

    Thanks. I kind of experience this with the guys carrying grenades especially but pretty much all of them seem like they have increased their aim and damage. My own damage is pretty solid with what I had before. really weird and I am hoping it will pass. I will try to change difficulty and maps and see if it goes away.

    I appreciate the answer.

    I was running around on hard in New York the other day but once I went back to DC I had to set it back down to normal and still was getting two-shotted by red bar mobs on lvl 1 cps. (All mobs not just BT) It seemed to go back to "actual normal" when I reset my game...
    But hard in DC should have been the same as hard in NY. Wtf.
    Scaling is totally busted currently IMO.

    I am freeroaming on Heroic in DC. It is apparent something has happened over the last days. The difference is huge.

    I was clearing all the bounties today - things I noticed is they are coming from every direction in front , behind , beside me - fighting black tusk , outcast and hyenas and doing the bounty at the same time. Not complaining except skills are degraded - the turret locks on one target and becomes useless and using other skills they keep failing giving the enemy a huge advantage when playing lone wolf - fix the skills so they work properly.

    Did you log into the game after TUY 10 went live and not notice this then or is the last few days the first time you've logged in since TU10 went live? There have been some who say the NPC's feel more aggressive since TU10 went live and in the PS4 the NPC's feel like as if they hit harder and are tougher as of TU10.

    Super soldier spawn. Has been happening since TU10. Not just open world, though I seem to encounter it alot on Public Executions. I'm currently experiencing it on the Air and Space Museum.

    i not doing heroic just challenging, yesterday in DC i was whipped defending the blockade by a single spawn to at least 15 black tusk, i not have a very good build and when they come from everywhere you're fried, groundhogs at least 2 of them going around you, the other mechanic thing that blind you and trow airburst at you, like 3 drone operators blowing you away with explosive drones, medics reviving the down npc, engineers fixing the mechanical equipment, grenadiers, etc, it was a nightmare, turret was destroy in seconds, i made in the second try when i lure them to the control point that was like a block away, after that i just take care of the reinforcements from the chopper, that was a normal spawn.
