@Cheese9ManI think it might be a bug. I think it was introduced for the prowlers and spiders on Storm Point as NPCs you can damage for shield points. I think Respawn have forgotten to turn it off for MRVNs.

I think it will be removed - it's a lot easier to damage a MRVN than a prowler/spider.

    @EA_David Why not keep it? Same for wildlife in KC when it comes back.
    
    Makes it consistent. (A lot less opportunities in the other maps anyway)
