If you have clips of this, please provide them. The scientists for me on the junkpiles have been a completely positive experience. They may do more damage but not 30dmg per bullet. Plus they are less accurate as they were with the previous update.
#scientist problem ?

Happy to help! If there is something that seems abnormal with the scientists on the junk piles, I am happy to review and potentially escalate to D11 for review.
As for oil / heavy scientists, these are a known issue. They are still being investigated by D11. This one will take more time.
Let me know if you get the clip 🙂

That's seems to be ok, aggro range wise. Also, you got shot twice for 7dmg per bullet, as it's normal. Everything seems to be ok.
Moving from scrap pile to another is also normal, just like PC.
You weren't intended to loot piles with scientists, without actually killing them. They are there are as a challenge so you don't just buck naked loot all the road top to bottom. They are there to annoy you and block you from going naked all over the place. They are intended to be a challenge you need to take if you want that sweet loot pile.
The idea is that if you see a blue on a pile (especially that you had a revolver) you tap them or get a bow, hide and just keep poking each time they lose aggro. The junkpile scientists weren't made to be 1 tapped by a naked with a rock, they are there as "guards" of the pile which has better loot than other piles.
If you take your time and find a good position, you can kill one before they even finish the first burst. Try to get behind a tree and use bow or find a good positon with a little cover and the moment he turns around, put some lead into it.
Do you have any questions?
We are going to tweak them more in the future, but for now they are how they are 😄

so that’s the normal range bruh
never in my life i’ve ever seen it shoot that far until now.

Yeah, the old scientists were OLD
This has been the standard on PC for 2-3 years now.
Yes, I am aware that the change was drastic for the console players and they weren't expecting a fight. We are going to tweak them as needed.
At the same time, they don't spawn all over the place now. They are this tough on the junkpiles bc those are the "fancy" ones that give good loot (revolver, T1 tools etc)

okay now i see. it’s been a whole year since i played the game, thanks for informing me. just didn’t expect that update like pc

They are gonna get some balancing runs at some point. For now they are a challenge and not target practice 😄
