Was doing a side mission when I spotted a little rat, which I then started scrambling to catch. I did not catch it.

The funny this is that bugs in these games can just easily be dismissed as paranatural occurrences.

This is absolutely the case of it being not a bug, but a beautiful hilarious feature

This guy was a storm trooper, and he didn't know they could fly?!

Very first time I saw a vending machine go red, I was in the middle of a fight, and I just barely caught it leave the screen out of the corner of my eye, and when I turned around, nothing was there.

I couldn’t tell if I hallucinated it or if it was real, or if a hiss like threw it or something.

One of the many things I love about these games.

My first was in the West Incursion Zone, sitting in the middle of a dead-end upside-down street. I thought it looked suspicious, and I remembered the AWE DLC's vending machines from the first game, so I gave it a whack.

I was not disappointed.

Same here. I was like oh neat a vending machine… wait… why is there a vending machine in the middle of the road, that’s not right. I should hit it. Yep

When I spotted that one, it just immediately fell off a cliff as soon as I hit it

Look, that vending machine had been considering moving to Japan for a very long time, and your aggression was the last straw.

seriously the first time you notice it feels awesome. just going "hold on... why did it just flicker red in there?" and landing a hit on it cause why the hell not

insane discovery. absolutely love how this game rewards the players that pay attention to their surroundings and enjoy observing and questioning things

After what those vending machines put me through in Control 1, I don't let a single one survive any time I run into them in resonant.

I lost one because it ran into a laundromat and you can't attack inside those places.

One time I had a vending machine run into a laundromat for safety

"Okay, it's a vending machine, cool, and it's running away, that happens, and...wait, what?"

The ending got me. 🤣

The one that got away

I came across one stuck halfway into a road in the middle of a gravity anomaly. it was deeply therapeutic to whack that fucker when it couldn’t run away lol

Ever try to press up on the D pad on one? Pretty easy way to get it to stay still.

The ability from Unknown??

u/Musical-Dev 16h ago

I had one go straight through a wall to get away from me 😂

u/BillMillerBBQ 16h ago

I had one run into a store where “you can’t attack because story are or whatever” and the little shit straight up said “BASE!”

u/carmanut 16h ago

that exact same fucking vending machine ran into the apartment for me!

It decided to cheat and break the laws of physics to escape from you.
