The Repair Drone is acting extremely erratic and has now caused me to down myself two times in as many attempts at using Survivalist during the Countdown. I don't ever recall the drones behavior to place itself in front of your head to heal while it is deployed. The players position to a landscape feature such as a corner, wall, barricade, etc used to dictate where it would hover. Now it blinds me while attempting to heal and engage enemies as it picks the front of me a lot of the times to position itself. In the past the drone would remain behind or to one side or the other and it was never an issue. Now standing in the open as you will see in the video, the drone goes to my front and acts like defense for the BT as they rope out of the helicopter. Perhaps it is time to look at the balance of damage received from our own weapons kinda like how an enemy npc can have their backpack of grenade rounds, bag of grenades carried by Rikers, Outcasts, Hyenas and others do ZERO initial damage or perhaps one bar or half a bar of armor stripped.
With the damage disparity higher in this game than any other I have personally played; it might be time to finally address this in some way shape or form. I am getting two-tapped by Hunters in CD with the Tsunami style shotgun and if I have a maxed-out build, I basically have to mag dump multiple mags to kill a Heroic npc with the same weapon. While fighting and 7 other teammates are shooting and Hunters along with Black Tusk running around, the last thing I should have to worry about is whether or not my drone will move to my front and block an explosive bolt.
