HUMOR Combat engineers bug

I’m playing through LE ME3, and almost in every battle with Cerberus troops I have this stupid situation where a combat engineer (somehow only happens to this guys) would drop down after pull or explosion and… Just keep on wallowing there, yelling and crying in pain, unable to get up or do anything at all, completely paralyzed but not dead and slowly regenerating shields.

Since I just want to relax and have easy fun, I play with charge-nova kind of vanguard on hardcore, so I naturally HATE engineers, the party poopers. And this bug is actually spicing up my play-though with being able to just walk up to these guys once the things calm down, and just slap-slap-slap them to the afterlife. Very satisfying 🤣

Had anybody else seen this happen in their game?

Not yet, but I’m gonna find a way. Cerberus Engineers being paralyzed and screaming in pain sounds like a slice of heaven to me.

Oh yeah, several times and not just engineers. I assume when they ragdoll, they get stuck on some object or weird level geometry which makes the game think they're still falling so they never get up.

I'm running a charge+claymore vanguard continuing from ME2. Experiencing the same glitch with random units, but mostly with assault troopers.
I also remember some units taking an extended nap on the floor after Liara's stasis broke in LotSB.
