I thought that was a bit strange too.
Nice job! Good to know.
Maybe you could add that bit of useful info to your post?
I just started a new campaign and took on my characters role of "what would I do if that was me?.. literally in that situation. I sure as hell can tell you that I wouldn’t go toe to toe with an armed dog/ wolf like robot the size of a cow. So I took on a survey / plan/ ambush strategy( unless I could avoid conflict where possible). I’m also trying to go as far as I can without dying( adrenaline shots count). So far it’s been a blast! Still on the 1st section. But my successes feel that much more rewarding. Breathes new like into the game.
I personally found it easier to get a runner close to the car. Snipe its fuel cell and take out car and damage or destroy any nearby cars/ robots. It can get interesting with chain reactions
