I was playing coop with a friend and a runner retreated over a hill and he chased it. as he got over the hill to try and kill it there was a pack of new machines. i think this was a coincidence, but we thought how cool would it be if the humans could be tricked to chasing a machine into a pack of hunters etc.

Only dev can confirm if it’s intentional or not but I can report that I’ve had this occur on my end enough times that I’ve stopped chasing them and try to lure them back out.
This does happen sometimes to me. Once I faced an all alone runner, and it ran off to another pack for help.
I know that Seekers and Harvesters can call for additional reinforcements that happen to be nearby. And that the sound of battle can also draw in other enemies, especially Runners and Hunters. So there’s some amount of collaborating going on which is cool. Makes you be more careful before engaging in fights when you’re low on meds, for example.
