    I play exclusively Glass Cannon and Perfect Glass Cannon....and honestly I haven't noticed a difference.

    What content are you playing? What difficulty? And with what build?

    Is it because of the change in directives in open world? I'm thinking of special Ammo. I've noticed that the game is substantially harder with Special Ammo enabled.

    Apart from the Special Ammo option in Open World, I've not noticed any difference myself.

    Special Ammo is a good way to train yourself to use cover, and how to limit the number of targets that have line of sight to you. Because if you've been relying on a shield to keep you alive, you find out real fast that it's not good enough on its own.

    It's like the old Kendo saying: "Don't be angry that an opponent struck you. Thank them for showing you your weakness so you can correct it."

    Well, I prefer to play with Special Ammo now to add a bit of difficulty especially in Summit.

    I had a similar thought but more along the line of.....'Huh... the game has not crashed or froze.......?" "Is it possible the issue is fixed?..."

    And of course the issue was not fixed, nothing has been changed. Game still crashed and freezes.

    OP- nothing has changed. You are in a rough patch nothing more. Just like my game stability was arbitrary.

    Heroic with ALL DIRECTIVES to add some spices.

    Special ammo (the one that shock you forever) is really gross...

    I would say that being perma-locked by shock ammo doesn't really have much to do with NPCs doing more damage. Or rather, that it's kind of irrelevant whether they kill in you in 4 bullets instead of 5 if you can't do anything anyway.

    The NPC in this game is too inconsistent either in Heroic or Legendary that sometimes they hit way too much and aim way too much at impossible view and sometimes they act normal where you can take them down without a problem. Same goes with directives they brutal at times and they aren't.
