Diversify the mobs#448

So uh, I see a lack of any support mobs in the group ups I usually see myself in. Like no enemy in the game ever tries to flank you or support their allies. What I’d like to see is an enemy that would try to attack you whilst you’re focused on a tank or somewhat large cannon fodder group. The only 3 I’ve seen are rangers, rushers, and tankers. This includes the flying mobs too. Something like the whiplash and carcas from Doom Eternal would do nicely in this game. A marauder type enemy would be pointless because we can spam rockets and curb stomp it depending on how we’d fight it.

Technically they already have support mobs [3 dedicated being Invinicibility, EMP and ranged fire support], although they are only seen in later missions albeit minor.

The recent AI upgrade was suppose to make them smarter although many people dont notice it as they just kill them really quickly. They still are improving enemy AI with 0.5 bringing promise in a far superior AI represented by Mass enemies.

Many posts already suggest this kind of AI improvement already however I believe you are suggesting support mobs be more common in missions rather than be a rare occurance which has not been suggested yet, I believe.

Well yeah but they have no medic or competent long range unit. As I said earlier and as you pointed out, they don’t have enough support units or special units. Thats precisely why I would like to see an enemy try to flank or hinder us more often rather having that one smol white ball boi give a small radius of invincibility to annoy us. Both builds I run can easily get passed the invincibility phase it sets up and then some. The only thing that would be negatively effected by it is the shoulder missiles and even then they fly slow enough if you time it you can still profit off damage. Maybe something like the shield offsprey from warframe could be integrated as well to make the enemies for durable because I’ve only ever played on very hard mode and died a max of 3 times because I mainly goofed off in it.

There is actually a highly competent ranged unit, but it shows up in a single Hunting Ground and nowhere else.
