A friend of mine mentioned that the Steam patch notes don’t match the Discord patch notes, which say that the Guard Dog Rover was nerfed. Which would make a lot more sense.
The discord patch notes also list an increase in damage for the non-laser guard dog (no numbers listed for that one)
Encouraging us to use the gun dog makes sense. Making it ignore armored would be a fantastic improvement for a future update making way more viable.
Just give it infinite ammo
Since both would still have the “reload” animation
Keep in mind the AX/AR-23 Guard Dog is not the laser version. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone actually use this more than once.
I really like this one but it just doesn’t have enough ammo. It’s really frustrating when it dumps everything it has into an armored enemy also. It would be nice to have the ability to prioritize small or medium enemies.
For the guard dogs in general, I would love a “stfu” mode to have it not aggro patrols, but I can see how that might be perceived as undemocratic.
