    Pets attacking?

    Pets tend to act weird... AFAIK, to stop them from absolutely destroying the point in stealth frames and/or drawing too much aggro and getting themselves killed, they tend to not attack unless something attacks your frame first. Though they might also attack a target when you do, that I'm a lot less certain of. But being attacked by something with even a tiny shot definitely sets them off.

    I mention the thing about it being specific to the frame, by the way, because if your frame isn't the one taking damage, they don't seem to care - including when they themselves take damage... Which is frustrating, and definitely feels like an oversight.

    Operator mode will also stop them from attacking completely in my experience, for some reason...

    There's apparently some changes in the works (AKA "soon") to companions that will make them a little less braindead, such as issuing commands, but in the meantime they're more of a utility that you shouldn't rely on than a damage output. Still can be very helpful though, if that's what you were worried about.

    If you're wanting it to kill things for ranks on the other hand, then it's probably best to get your affinity from it using abilities instead. I honestly don't remember if they gain affinity from objectives either (it's been a while), but Spy missions tend to be a good way to farm affinity without having to kill anything - worth a shot. Specific to Kubrows - I also think that all Kubrow Mecha set kills count for the Kubrow, not you - again, worth a try if you have it.

    In that case I’ll use sentenal and kavat until they decide to fix that, and I think a mod like assault mode would be great for pets but I’m not DE so I don’t decide
