Nemesis Mole Machines

[Marine X]

Was just doing the Dark Watcher mission " Get the News Out " in the Rogue Isles and after mission complete noticed that the Mole Machines are conned as a targetable Elite Boss. Bored, I beat on it for a while till I Defeated it....                 nothing........... no XP or salvage  nothing   would be nice to get something in the way of XP or have them count toward a Badge if they are attackable. I have to admit though that the explosion and smoking hulk version after defeat was a nice visual.

This suggestion has long been sought!

They have always been attackable, and at least once upon a time, were the only way to stop waves of Nemesis from attacking the generators you saved.

My understanding is that the rationale for no xp/inf rewards for Mole Machines is because they do not attack you and are just big HP sacks. Not a fan of that design choice, but that's what I've seen as to why.
