Poxburster tracking/changing targets mid-air

Issue Type (Required):

Enemy Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

Occasionally poxbursters will change their target while they are in the middle of their jump leading to poxbursters magically adjusting themselves mid-air. This can be reliably reproduced under the right circumstances and has been an issue since launch.
Evidence included below.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  • Poxburster targets player A while player B is slightly further away
  • Player A moves further away from the burster than the distance the burster is to player B or player A loses aggro or disappears for whatever reason
  • Poxburster will immediately change course to other nearest target (player B)

  • Poxburster jumps near player B while player A is closer by but incapacitated
  • Player A is freed from incapacitation
  • Poxburster immediately changes course to player A

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam
