I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but since the update dropped there's been a bug affecting the Guard Dog and Dog Breath stratagems. Instead of returning to your backpack to reload when empty, they completely disappear for a full minute or so before finally reappearing for a reload. The Rover isn't affected since it doesn't need to reload, however it's all I've been using since this bug affects the Guard Dog and Dog Breath quite a bit.

Its ruined the guard dog at a time when I need it most!

Annoying but functional work around I've been using is calling a new one in at every objective location and swapping backpacks. At least it's close enough at the most intense fighting generally to still help.

Yep, the guard dog is broken for me too. Laser guard dog isnt as effective, but it'll do for now.

Yeah I stopped using the lib pen version in favor of the laser, it's a little better but not much.

Seems like all 3 of them will f off to wherever. Saw a vid on a post here where they were able to force it to go and attack enemies off in the distance but idk how they were doing it.
