I turned the corner and they scared the shit out of me. Panic threw my grenades. This was definitely the most I’ve seen clumped together like that.
If you're curious how this happened, it's because Automoton patrols are bugged. The way they're supposed to work is the way that the Terminid patrols work, where they spawn in random locations and travel in a random direction across the map until they despawn.
But the bots are broken, and instead their patrols always go to the center of the map, instead of all the way across. When they get there, they just stop, and lock down at that spot. If you've been in the mission for a while and have been doing things that spawn a lot of patrols, you can find a ton of them. Here's a group I caught on Maia last night.
Damn, good luck getting those super samples to the right of them!
There was a Hulk patrol just off to my right and a turret cannon just beyond it, and I didn't want to risk pulling aggro from anything with my teammates spread out so far, so I had to run aaallllllllll the way around the left and over to get to the cock rock, crawling half the way. Honestly kind of a fun experience sneaking around a few dozen bots and using craters for cover!
We ended up coming back after doing the objectives and dropped a 500kg on 'em, buddy said he got something like 23 kills from it. I wanna try to organize another bot group-up like this at some point and see just how many kills you can get with a single stratagem before it crashes the game.
Bots are easily juked by explosions. Throw nade in one direction and go in the other direction.
