AI

• We're introducing two new Anomaly Soldier types equipped with SMGs and Shotguns.
  Zitat:
  Their behavior will differ from those carrying ARs. As expected, soldiers armed with SMGs and Shotguns will prefer more closer range for combat. Particularly, AI utilizing Shotguns will attempt to close the distance to players. While doing so, they will sprint until reaching a certain minimum distance.
• Soldier AIs won't walk and pass next to you with/without shooting anymore. And if they are out of their shooting range they will start sprinting to get closer to you or your teammate.
Zitat:
That will depend on the EQS's threat calculation at that moment.
• We reduced Anomaly Soldier AI's sight angle from 90 to 65, this change made them more humane(ish) they won't see to over 65 degrees on the sides if they are not aware.
Zitat:
This may change again with the feedback we will get
• We increased Anomaly Soldier AI's sight and hear radius.
• Crawler (Named as Queen by our community) now can die before her animation ends.
  Zitat:
  Queen's animation and behavior may change on the next patches.
• We decreased the aggressiveness of other anomaly enemies.
Zitat:
Also, this one may change again with the feedback we will get
• New Enemy-type Husk (Melee Horde Spawns) added into Echo Surge Mission. (Experimental)
