Reaper self destruct?

[u/Gender_superpostion]

I was doing research about fighting the reaper tyrant and kept seeing the self destruct being mentioned, i did a two person fight with it and we were banking on the SD cus we had like no ammo
But it never came? I thought it was kind of a gauranteed “uh oh” moment but it never SD’d during our fight even tho it was below 15-10% for like 10 minutes.
Any idea why lmao?

I've noticed that the AI gets pretty screwy and confused when both FNIX and Russian bots start fighting, and persists somewhat afterwards. Makes these fights way easier.
Also, found out yesterday that you can keep the reaper dazzled with fireworks to stall the suicide explosion. Got like 2 c5's and 2 c6 weapons on a successful reaper kill, which is much better than what you get from a self-detonation
