Kneeling Hunters - Outside the Wire

[IanForce]

So while the presence of Russian forces in the Boo area still remains unexplained, they certainly managed to collect machine technology. This is quite evident in the Sci-Fi movie “Outside the Wire” (available on at least one major streaming service) where the Russian Gumps as I see it is pretty much identical copies of our beloved Hunters from GZ. One very, very cool feature they added is the hunters ability to kneel. Recent updates to GZ changed how hunters attack in packs. Usually one remains at a distance sniping at you. That is very, very nice. Now, if that particular hunter kneeled to gain stability and precision when sniping at you, she would be harder to take down, and harder to localize. Please consider enabling that feature, at it is probably already built into the machines behaviour

That might be an improvement.

Sometimes I have some hunters on my tail at the Gravhögar near Bockhyttan and when I jump the 1 mtr fence at the grave hills they stop while they can easily jump it. But they only jump when I get close to them. So instead of jumping the fence they run around. You can have a lot of fun just jumping the fence all the time.

she would be harder to take down

Out of interest why did you assign gender to the hunter?

Just curious to see if anybody noticed The lore is, as I understand it, that these machines are controlled by humans in some kind of stasis. So I assume a 50/50 distribution of males and females. So just throw the gender dice.

Where can I find that lore in the game?

Since i was summoned, i’ll answer the:

Where can I find that lore in the game?

From another topic:

Hunt The Serial Killer!

Personally, i’m not sold on the idea that FNIX has loads of people, helping to control the machines for him either. And thus far, there haven’t been much to support that theory, except few side mission notes where people witnessed machines taking their friends/relatives away and security monitor showing an empty ward.

However, in FNIX Rising DLC... (spoiler alert)

things change.

During main missions (latter part), we learn that there is huge cluster of human activity and surely, there must be other survivors there. Once player makes his/hers way to the FNIX’es lair, we see that there are no-one around.
Veronika then asks: “All the data say there should be a lot of survivors here. Where did they all go?”, to which FNIX replies: “Worry not. I moved my precious resources somewhere you will never harm them.”.

Also, the FNIX’es lair looks to be like some form of ward:

But the thing is, those capsules look too short to house a full-grown human. They look to be made for babies or children. The rest, you can think for yourself.

Oh, that security monitor is located in FOA 53, one room before the surgery room.

Thanks and Yes, I have seen all your “real” lore post before. And I knew that FNIX hints it has the missing survivors with its “Precious resources” remark.
But found any lore that FNIX controls humans to control the combat-machines. This is speculation, I think.

Oh, that security monitor is located in FOA 53, one room before the surgery room.

And we can’t go there anymore to recheck.

And we can go there anymore to recheck.

Here you go, at 01:25,
(not my video)

Now, when revisiting FOA53, we can actually see several humanoid forms lying in the ward and it isn’t empty.
