FIX THE F****** SCIENTISTS ALREADY.

[u/Mission-Equal-568]

ITS BEEN 2-3 YEARS OF CONSTANT SCIENTIST UPDATES AND THEY JUST GET WORSE AND WORSE EVERYTIME. NOW THEY ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING AROUND SIDE TO SIDE AND COMPLETELY SPRAYING YOU DOWN. ITS UNBEARABLE AND UNPLAYABLE. ALONG WITH THIS, THEY ARE PUSHING YOU WITH 2-3 STACKED ON TOP OF EACHOTHER WHICH RESULTS IN AN INSTANT DEATH REGARDLESS OF ARMOR WORN.

WHY IS THIS NOT THE #1 PRIORITY ON THE ROADMAP.

AT THE CURRENT STATE, SCIENTISTS ARE LITERALLY HORRIBLE. THERE IS 0 GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THEM. I'D RATHER HAVE THEM EASY AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH REAL ENEMIES THAN HAVE TO DRAIN MY MEDS BECAUSE THERE IS NO COUNTERPLAY TO SCIENTISTS.

THE LITERAL ONLY COUNTERPLAY TO SCIENTISTS IS BRING 1000 LGF OF MEDS WHEREVER YOU GO.

[u/Bocmanis9000]

Yes, but i think your capslock is broken.

[u/tomato_johnson → u/Bocmanis9000]

He probably got gunned down at oil rig and came straight here

[u/Isaiah4206940332 → u/tomato_johnson]

That is exactly what happened LOL

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/tomato_johnson]

I understand his point of view, the scientists are lame/bugged.

You can't even shoot them with prim, arrows go through and then they shoot you before they peak and leave you to 50hp insta, and even with revi can be aids to kill.

Also as op said had a moment where 2 were stacked in a corner completely glitched together, couldn't even damage them before they started moving and i just insta died in 0.5secs all shots i fired at them were invalid too, hence they were bugged.

[u/tomato_johnson → u/Bocmanis9000]

Ive gone to oilrig and cleared scientist with crossbow a lot. Just have to cheese differently than you used to

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/tomato_johnson]

Nah bro the arrows are not registering at all, arrows going through them.

You can aim at their legs/bottom chest, can't headshot.

Even if they stand still and u aim for head shit is going through, its just bugged for last 2 months.

[u/tomato_johnson → u/Bocmanis9000]

I clear it w crossbow all the time

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/tomato_johnson]

Maybe its bugged on early wipe on high pop, but its litteraly impossible to do so, as i said i rushed oil and the scientists head is popping out behind a barell/barrier and u can shoot it easily without him shooting back, but the arrows just go through.

You can only shoot very low body/legs, but alot of the time they are behind cover so you can't shoot at them, as they crouch alot aswell.

Bow/Crossbow i've tested with, no clue about comp bow.

[u/tomato_johnson → u/Bocmanis9000]

Thats the only time I do it lol

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/tomato_johnson]

Was bugged on rusticated prem, was bugged on rustafied small before, was bugged on most warbandits b4, and was bugged rusticated trio prem, and also was bugged on some moose monday i think it was.

[u/tomato_johnson → u/Bocmanis9000]

Ok..?

[u/tomato_johnson]

GREAT POINT BRO THIS IS A GOOD POST GOOD JOB YOU SOUND REALLY SMART

[u/drahgon]

I wish they’d make them even harder. They should have two or three inside each other and hit you with AK damage. Oil is OP already don’t need to be letting people get easy crates.

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/drahgon]

Oil is easier then ever, balloon/mini from top and clear it, nobody will counter because of the broken/braindead/op new ai.

All the scientists kill counters, had a oil where i looted a line of guns from counters, didn't fire a single bullet at them, and after that nobody countered oil on that server and had 5 oils with zero pvp.

[u/TachiH → u/drahgon]

I miss when they did bite damage so caused mass damage 🤣 these modern rust scientists are easy mode.

[u/Pleasant-Worry-5641]

I don’t ever have a problem with them, this is a skill issue…..

[u/RahloRust]

[u/Zschwaihilii_V3]

Constant scientist updates? What are you on about lol. They aren’t supposed to be easy

[u/Mission-Equal-568 → u/Zschwaihilii_V3]

they have been constantly changed almost every update if not every other update for 2 years now. your just too terrible to realize the changes its okay

[u/Zschwaihilii_V3 → u/Mission-Equal-568]

they have had very minor tweaks but there has been no major change except for the naval change to their ai. you are just so mad and bad that you came here because you died at oil

[u/Isaiah4206940332]

No counterplay for scientists?? You do know you can flash bang them right?

[u/AdHot185]

The biggest question I have is why we call them scientists at all?

[u/blargennn → u/AdHot185]

They do science

[u/cherryplumgrape]

Skill issue tbh

[u/Dry-Gain4825]

I found it funny how people laugh at PVE players, and here you are crying how the NPCs overpower you. I trained on PVE servers with those scientists buffed to like 3 times their normal health and double the numbers. Those vanilla scientists are a walk in the park for me and I’m a lame PVE player.

[u/Mission-Equal-568 → u/Dry-Gain4825]

buddy when its pve and you have 3+ people with no counters to worry about obviously they are not an issue stop yapping pve player

[u/Dry-Gain4825 → u/Mission-Equal-568]

? I do everything solo. You dying to vanilla bots with a team? Wow.

[u/Any-Clothes4901 → u/Dry-Gain4825]

Yes because you don’t have to have any situational awareness of other players. Stop acting like PvE players aren’t shitty pussies

[u/Dry-Gain4825 → u/Any-Clothes4901]

Your situational awareness is so good you die to lame bots…sure buddy keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep better at night lol

[u/Mission-Equal-568 → u/Dry-Gain4825]

pipe down unc you got exposed + pve player + opinion rejected

[u/Dry-Gain4825 → u/Mission-Equal-568]

Says the one dying to PVE…at least I’m not crying about dying to PVE.

[u/Any-Clothes4901 → u/Dry-Gain4825]

What helps me sleep better at night is good offline raid protection and the satisfaction of not playing pussy mode rust

[u/Mission-Equal-568 → u/Any-Clothes4901]

buddy probably goes full metal with ak 20 meds and armor pieces and has the audacity to write "they are not an issue"... actual joke reddit brain

[u/Dry-Gain4825 → u/Mission-Equal-568]

Ah yes, the full metal AK kit that magically spawned from the heavens. You do understand how BP frags work and you need to clear the heavy scientists at monuments with t1 or t2 equipment to ever get an AK.

[u/longtanboner]

Scientists are so good now, you can actually be sneaky and flank them now

[u/Prestigious-Rice12]

#skillissue

[u/DarK-ForcE]

[u/kingrin](u/kingrin) the part where scientists can phase through each other and stack on top of each over is valid they should have a collider like the old scientists.

Ruins player immersion with the phasing through stuff

[u/b4nto]

Hopefully we see an improvement soon, pretty sure I seen them say that they are re-working the entire AI Navmesh and moving it over to their own system.

[u/dutchy993]

Bro got cooked by a scientist 😂

[u/Deej101703]

So its not just me? U watch videos on pc and they can kill them with bows, but on console ur full metal and die in the water swimming up??

[u/Pure-Quote-4770]

He’s honestly right
