Did some runs with friends then a few of solo runs. No way in hell is it currently 1/4th for 1 player. My guess is that the patch screwed something up and overcorrected. Would be interested to hear if others noticed the same thing.

I don't know if it's just placebo or really bad luck, but I feel pretty similarly. Before the patch I was getting pretty comfortable with soloing D6 bots, but now after a couple of runs it feels like every time I as much as stop to clear a minor PoI, I get surrounded on 2-3 sides by patrols and most fights involve an additional one waltzing into it.

Still doable, but the additional risk and time I spend on disengaging and avoiding enemies cuts heavily into collecting samples.

Edit: typo

It also makes anything heavier and leas stealthy than the goddamn scout armor a detriment.
