    Can you show us some videos with examples of this happening?

    i feel forced to somewhat agree that something has changed last update ,but for me its not the NPC power , its the NPC behaviour .

    remember when people used to complain a lot about the npc´s just mindlessly charging the player in cover? that is what i feel is back , this last update was unecessarily large and i guess somehow it reverted some of the changes made to the NPC´s behaviour.

    i also clearly remember when they adjusted all projectiles the npc´s throw to be less accurate and that is gone too , every throw is pinpoint accurate again.

    and also the toptank shirt side uzi murderers are back doing way more damage than any other npc.


    and i dont activate special ammo , my only permanent directive in this season is and will be fog of war.

    I played yesterday evening. Open world, The Summit, heroic, directives and glasscannon. I'm not a professional streamer, I just like a challenge, just for fun; from my perspective, nothing's changed.

    I agree with that, the npcs feel a little more aggressive since the update and ive found myself being charged down in some situations where i wasnt after they reworked the npcs. Its not a major thing, juat nees to be a bit more careful and prioritise targets differently.

    I imagine though this will be a problem fof the skill builders if their skills cant handle the charge.

    I can agree as well the npc’s seem more aggressive. Running in the DZ is crazy at times with a patrol around every corner. While fighting rouges or shd players you can have random groups of nps’s spawn behind you. I’ve had npc’s chase me across the map. Lol

    I've been keeping an eye on this since I read your post yesterday, and I'm seeing plenty of occasions where the NPCs are inaccurate enough in their throws that the grenade misses both me and my turret by a very comfortable margin. (At times I'm not even sure which they're aiming at.)

    Likewise PC. And while NPCs do sometimes land nades from pretty far away, they're just as often missing.

    Honestly, I've taken to trying to shoot them out of mid air when I can. You know you can do that, right? Works best with high RoF weapons.
