I Just had this happen to me and literally closed app and pulled out my phone to understand this stupidity. In my clip I tried to circle as it mag dumped. It seems like the reapers attack is an auto lock on if you are in line of sight of his front 180°. This means trying to circle at anything less than 91-100° from his direct front means it can still damage you. This is just insane. Worst part is I don’t think Darktide can let you view ping/connection speed so I can’t rule out if this is simply lag.

Look, sometimes your stream goes sideways like that, ok?

@FatsharkJulia I want to bring attention to this again as it’s a bug that has existed for so long that it even exists within VT2’s Winds of Magic ungor archer which came out 4 years before Darktide.

Noted, I’ll see if I can bump this.
