AI gone rogue, I guess. The Pinnacle bots aren't your friends.

I really hate that Island. Good lord is it the worst. I also think it's a tad ridiculous that those robots don't EVER attack the Vek. They should be attacking anything other than themselves. If they're truly rogue AI, why do they ONLY attack you and ignore the Vek?

Yeah I guess im just salty that I lost a mech because I didnt relise that they turned against me

Why is the objective to protect these enemy producing buildings? I do everything I can to avoid this mission, absurd.

It's a OK mission I think. I don't knwo how difficult it is as the third or fourth region (generally do it 1st or 2nd) but the robots are manageable and bring variety. Especially love the missions with landmining robots

I'm leaning towards this. Is, unfortunate when games try to offer you a quest's that's so utterly annoying. Especially when they're annoying without any justifable reason.

"Protect this Robot factory, while it produces Robots that in turn to try to kill the factory! Or You!"

I'm also rolling my eyes at the fact that the AIs on that island only ever target structures or your mechs, but hardly ever (If literally ever) the Vek. Its stupid.

Well, with some teams the avoiding killing a volitile vek can be nearly as bad as this objective.

The Volitile Vek actually makes some sense though. The idea, supposedly, is that killing it results in an explosion in an area that they want to avoid having blown up.

The whole Robot factory spawning hostile robots that try to destroy the very same factory that made them does not make any sense. At all. Its an illogical situation that you're tasked. It is what it is, for the sake of being annoying.

Because they're malfunctioning. If the robot Vek leader can exist, there's no reason crazy robots wouldn't try to destroy anything in reach.

Which make sense if you don't have a yellow psion in the mission.

I think the idea is that the robots are ostensibly a very strong force against the Vek when they actually work properly. These factories in particular don't work properly and they're producing hostile robots, but Zenith can still fix them as long as you protect them.

Eh, fair. HAving in game dialogue from the AI saying that would make the quest more bearable.

The AI does have dialogue explaining why you shouldn't bust the factory though. It clearly states that there are innocent people still inside the factories.

Innocent people my butt, they're building killer robots! I don't believe this is a coincidence. How would Veks cause robot malfunctions? I think these are Vek sympathizers.

The Vek are smarter than your average bugs. One of them swiped my pic-a-nic basket.
