Discussion Thread - Patch notes - Update April 6

Is it normal for an OctoDrill (read "architect") to stop using its mines and laser cannons altogether? I was dodging the one on Eos and suddenly felt a noticeable... pause. It was just looking at me as if I was a dentist on house call ^^ Sure it was still spitting that electrified shrapnel thing and kept spawning little remnant buuut... I did not expect to be able to stand out in the open against that thing on hardcore difficulty O.o Just wondering if it's a behavioural change related to the patch.
