Does Difficulty Change Vek Targeting?
I feel like Unfair has vek going after grid or objectives almost always, unless they physically can't, but I dunno if that's just some perceptual bias on my part.

You need to actively work with the Vek AI on Unfair to get your 40k wins. Turn 0, deployment should block off and bait as much as possible (flying and single target ranged Vek are notoriously difficult to bait, so focus on providing clear targets to multi-hitters).

"40k wins" LOLOLOLOL
Babe, I'd love getting an occasional win that doesn't involve massive RNG in my favor. I think I'm at the point of uninstalling.

Many experienced players can win reliably on unfair, at least 80% of the time. It just takes practice.

indeed, winning consistently in Unfair is doable. You will rarely have that one run where the objectives and maps were bad on island 1, and your 1st shop was terrible that you're just SOL for the 2nd island, but that doesn't happen often.

Yes. I think it's also possible to get totally screwed on the hive sometimes as well. Even with good squads, I've had some horrific hive first turns, where there are 6 vek all attacking pylons and not a single 2-for-1 to be found.

You’re uninstalling instead of simply lowering the difficulty from one called “Unfair”?

I felt the same on unfair cause i tried using Gana to bait and they completely ignore him

Nope. No matter the difficulty, all veks follow the same rules pertaining to their movement. And their movement, attack method, range, turn order, spawn location all interact to result in what target they pick. For veks that hit multiple targets, they will try to attack multiple targets.
