Is it just me, or is this event trash? Let's make the enemies a lot harder initially, for a small buff that you get if and when you kill things (so it doesn't really matter at that point), but then also make it annoyingly a pain in the ass when you're with anything other than a well coordinated group. Nevermind this on escal or some of the legendary missions.

Am I missing something here? Any time I group with someone and see this thing on (maybe outside of retals or just heroic open world) I just want to bail.

I've tried everything on this.

Re-logged, joined a new session (with someone), quit game, ran in and out of area, went to DC and back, completed a mission...

I am at the building... have tried from multiple places, shot R-O-B-O-T-O going back to the same O three times hitting the AC not the target above it, making sure to use a sniper rifle to ONLY hit it once and also tried with a rifle in case it was a scope or something.. NOTHING. Someone else in general chat also said they couldn't do it. What gives? I wanted to get the Phoenix mask and hadn't done these before.. the Merry mask worked fine. Google says it doesn't have to be at a certain time of day or missions/masks aren't prerequisites.

Thoughts?

Hi All,

New to the game (started about a month ago). Been having fun, grinded all the CP BPs, retal BPs, grinding expertise (about 17), and met some friends online. Mostly still learning. Anyway, I saw yesterday escalation strikers going on and figured I'd try some games to see if I could get a couple pieces. I'd only done solo T0 through T2 escalation before so didn't know what to expect but LFG'd in chat for T3-T5.

One guy invited me to his group and a couple people joined (he was looking for T3-5). He ran over and set it to Tier 10 and I was like, "Uhh... I'm not very geared." And we blew through it. All our group was amazed and he was just mowing through things. He had full proto gear, was SHD 2K+, was chatting with us, etc. (so it wasn't a bot) and looking for certain things. I asked if I could screenshot his build and he was like, "Yah sure." I've seen YouTube vids of people doing over 20M damage so figured "Wow this is what full T10 proto is like."

Anyway, after several runs I stopped focusing on enemies and cover, etc. and started watching him and noticed what seemed like shots through walls, etc. We asked if he was hacking and he said no and that there were in game (not 3rd party) mechanics you can abuse, etc. So I didn't think much of it, UNTIL....

I did another run late last night with some folks I met in Discord thinking T7 with my new proto gear would be pretty simple, and NOPE. T7 was quite tough. This got me thinking so I watched a Twitch stream on T10 and that group while very experienced/coordinated was not breezing through it. But then there's people spamming T10 Escal LFG non-stop in general chat, so wth?

So I have to imagine this is a hacker? Do I just report him on Ubis website and ask for a rollback or can they check server logs and confirm he was hacking? Am I going to get banned either way? I really don't want to put more effort into the account if it just gets banned later lol.

TLDR: Ran with a suspected hacker in multiple escals (didn't know much better, new to the game, escals, and grouping - outside of countdown). Realized later running other lower tiers and watching some streams this was NOT normal. What to do, ethically it says report and maybe I'm 100% wrong and the guy is just a pro lol.
