I have been playing awhile and I have noticed some very strange things. I know the goto answer is lag but truthfully I am not sure what it is. I cant be the only one experiencing these things.

Was doing Heroic CPs last night, first one went about as normal, figure it took about 15-20 or so mins to clear solo. I am running UF,patience, high hazard protection,~40% AR,~30% WD ,~70%DTE and around 340k armor. I know it is not a fully optimized build but usually I am pretty durable and I tend to stick to cover.

Went to do a second Heroic CP and that is when the craziness started. The grenade spam alone forced me to retreat back out of the CP area. It was one after another grenade, I almost thought the game had glitched out, then out of no where I was full health in cover and bam I am dead , one shot from somewhere. It wasnt grenades I had moved back out of range and no enemy had come up.

Sometimes in the open world I will get one shot, full health in cover and bam dead. I can run challenging,heroic and nothing hits me hard enough to kill me in one shot. Even the robo sniper pups cant kill me in one shot.

I have also had what sounds like half a dozen grenades go off and once and bam i am dead. This is rare but had it a couple of times. When this happens usually only one grenade being thrown at me

There are other glitches/lag/gremlins but they are rare, most of the time the AI behaves normally. I really dont want to run video recording but these things really break the fun. If I die because of my own stupidity that is one thing but to get killed because of a glitch is just annoying. It also seems to be happening more than it use too.

I know the game has issues , but i am still enjoying it.. I guess I am just seeing if others have experienced the weirdness with the AI. I would turn in a report but I cant reproduce the problems with any consistency.

and I fully agree about the grenade spam, its a bit insane about how well equipped some of the enemies are. but for that I just suspend my disbelief and use the "its a game" rule
For the first point, keep in mind that Heroic difficulty got a tweak a while ago to more drastically change up the enemy variety. It may be that you're running into situations with more grenadiers than expected.

For the second point, while there have been changes to the grenade frequency, we do want to try and find that happy medium of adequate challenge (especially on higher difficulty) while not feeling like you're powerless in the middle of a mortar shower.
