I'm not one for MRVN abuse, but I do get a little pissy when one dumps out lots of white rubbish. So, yesterday I punched a less-than-generous MRVN and my shield upgraded from blue to purple. Lookin...

@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.

@EdwardDLuffy Yeah I think it's from the wildlife change where you could shoot the spiders, prowlers and pigeons. Likely unintended but they probably are all coded the same.

I believe it's a bug, yep. It was reported as such from what I've seen anyway.

  @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)

    Sure,as soon as the MRVNs are programmed to rise up together and lunge 50m at you causing huge amounts of damage!
