I can confirm this is also an issue on Xbox One S. With all enemies. All seekers, runners, hunters, harvesters and tanks. You kill them and leave the area and come back and they all respawn but are all spaking and on fire. Shooting them anywhere with any caliber of bullet will kill them in 1 shot allowing the player to loot the corpses a second time.

Congrats @Myuaura. We all know and talk about this issue in different posts, but it looks like nobody else took the time to post a bug report on the issue. Maybe everybody figured somebody else had done it? :laughing:

Regardless, I can confirm that the issue also occurs on the PS4 Slim.

They’re working on this one. Enemies are supposed to respawn in a damaged state but they’ve been respawning with literally 1HP which is not how it’s supposed to be :stuck_out_tongue:

Fair enough. It’s just that they logged it as New Issue , which means nobody bothered to properly report it before. idk, just found it funny. :laughing:

Well, isn’t that annoying to loot those Harvester and take damage for no reason? Maybe they’re on fire and it’s invisible or idk, but ot happens.

Uh, uh!! Just found out how NOT to take damage while looting the harvesters! When they die, they usually fall with one of the front legs further away from the body compared to the other one. Carefully approach the leg and loot it as soon as you can do it. :wink:

I used this exploit on multiple easy enemies near a safe house once. There were like 10 smaller bots that when killed (one-shot all of them), gave me a healthy +950 XP each time. Repeated four times until I got bored of it, but it helped me going from lvl 12 to 13 much faster than what the game had intended :smiley:
