Zombies related bug

[NoRA]

I was on "Hunt down the cannibal corpses," and running into Vahzilok enemies that run up to me, do the animation of a self destruct, and then start the animation again, not doing damage to me OR themselves.

 

This honestly isn't the first time I've run into thus, but I think last time I just did an in-game service petition, and didn't think to try the forums. This time I was told to put it here on the forums if I thought it really was a bug.

 

Thanks,

Does your character have any active damage or debuff auras? Those disrupt self-destruct powers. (It's why I make sure I have something like Rise to the Challenge available and turned on when fighting CoT. It keeps the mages from going boom when near defeat.)

I can confirm this. Happened to me over the weekend.  I was rubberbanding really bad that day so my assumption was it was because of lag.

nope, I've tried it multiple times with different characters, I honestly think it's sort of intended. As far as the story goes, they're in a testing phase of turning the corpses into suicide bombers

Don't know what to tell you. Just had multiple zombies explode in my face. Remind me what arc that is so I can see for myself please?
