Found a 4-year-old AI glitch in the Tutorial: A rogue Juggernaut bot that teeps, teamkills, and responds to gestures

Hey everyone!

I found a really weird AI anomaly in the Mech Arena tutorial that has been in the game for over 4 years, and I’m surprised nobody has documented this yet.

Here is what happens on the tutorial map:

Target: A white Juggernaut bot equipped with a Stasis/Freeze gun.

Behavior Glitch: Even though we are on opposing teams, if you don't attack him and just move around, he completely ignores his hostile script.

Gesture Response: He tracks your movements. If you rotate your torso or move side-to-side, he mirrors/follows your movements with his turret like a real player.

Teamkilling & Aggro: After a few matches on a new account, if you "team" up with him without shooting him, he literally turns around and starts blasting his OWN teammates. If he gets overwhelmed, he fires short bursts at enemies as if requesting assistance.
