Vulture Fight Bugged Since Latest Patch

Platform:
PC, Steam

Description:
I just fought the Vulture and discovered that the 3 phases where it retreats and drops beacons, etc. don’t trigger any more. The loud audio cue, shield/power-up visuals and repositioning still occur prior to it’s usual ascension and beacon call-down, but after it immediately goes through it’s return audio/animations and continues attacking.
This occurred with a Vulture that was pre-existing before the patch. Will see whether it is still the case with post-patch spawns.

Steps To Reproduce:
Engage a pre-existing Vulture rival and attempt to destroy it. It shouldn’t enter any of its retreat phases.

UPDATE: I tested by spawning the Vulture a couple more times and can confirm that it is indeed NOT entering its retreat/beacon phase.

Same. And it feels really lame now. Picking down a Vulture is to easy, even in solo.

For the video

If it wasn’t for being such an ammo sponge, the vulture is easier than a standard firebird.

Bumping this as its still an issue
