FNIX machine guns

Is anybody else having troubles with the FNIX outposts machine guns? The last couple of times the outpost has been a ‘daily’ assignment, the machine guns keep firing after I’ve destroyed them. Needless to say, I can’t get near the outpost. I’m just wondering if that’s happening to anybody else. :grin:

It’s a known issue.
Everyone is affected.

Don’t be a scaredycat. Kill the robots that come out while avoiding the guns, then run in, trip the switch to activate the generator, blow that up, loot the chest, then run out. The whole thing should take less than a minute. Bring Medkits. Uranium Rounds should shut the guns up for a few seconds. If you have friends, bring them, too. Robot companions distract the guns just fine.

Btw, I never tested it… Can you deactivate the turrets by using EMPs?

The jammer also works fine.

We haven’t tried EMP, either. We’ll need to do that the next time the mission comes around.

No, I haven’t tried it. Sounds like a plan, I’ll try that.

OK, I just tried it. That disables them for a few seconds, but then they come back and start shooting… It was worth a shot, no pun intended…

A lot of players are affected.

Have advanced first aid kits and get past them is the band aid. It’s kind of the way I have been destroying bases. blow a hole in a wall, tag generator, hit with rocket and move to next one.

Good to know. If you have Uranium Shells, you can disable them for longer, as it screws with their targeting IFF for the full duration. Makes it easier to slip in, hit the switch, kill the generator, loot the prize and scoot.

Do all FNIX machine guns do this, or just the ones in the outpost mission? I haven’t noticed it in base assaults

Just the ones that spawn with the weekly outpost mission. Regular FNIX base gun defences don’t have this issue.

Thanks! What a weird bug

Same here. The regular bases seem ok.
