Is the Eagle Strafe Run not damaging Fabricators like before?

-

Hey everyone! Recently, I took on a tough level 7 mission against Bots with some pals, and I decided to use the Eagle Strafe Run. Oddly enough, when I aimed it at the Fabricators, it hit them alright, but didn’t destroy them. This happened several times during the mission. Has anyone else run into this issue today? Usually, it takes them out with no problem. And yes, I’m sure it made contact. Any thoughts on what’s going on here?

I’ve noticed it too! A few times, the Eagle Strafe Run has only damaged the Fabricators without fully destroying them. As far as I know, there haven’t been any updates or changes. It’s super annoying when you’re expecting that explosion, right?

From my experience, the Eagle Strafe Run causes damage with HP reduction, not through a demolition effect. If enough of the barrage doesn’t directly hit, it just ends up damaging them a bit instead of blowing them up. They might look all smoky and wounded, but not necessarily destroyed.

You know, usually, I don’t have issues with the strafe run leaving those Fabricators intact. It’s strange that all of a sudden, they’re surviving multiple hits. I haven’t changed my aim or anything, so it’s weird seeing them remain standing today. Something funky must be going on!

Maybe it’s just bad luck or some sneaky lag? Sometimes chucking those strategies just feels off, but it’s hard to pinpoint the why.
