I'm not sure where to post this question, but since U15 I've noticed while running Grenier missions that sometimes I randomly get teleported to a random location. It only happens when in battle, but I can't tell which enemy is doing it if it is one of them. It's also as if my character did a Loki swap or Ash teleport, except my character gets staggered at the end of the teleport like how Ash staggers enemies with his teleport. This happens even in a large area where enemies are far and would need a sniper rifle to shoot them or gaps too far to jump across.

 

I don't think this is a bug, because it only happens when fighting the Grenier, and I think I remember in the U15 notes about some new units being introduced. I know of the new Grenier that summons kubrows, but don't remember any Grenier being able to teleport me from across a huge area of the map. But yeah, are these new Grenier soldiers?

grineer commanders do that, they have been out for a while though...

 

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Just seems like it happens way more often now and from far distances. I could be in a spot clear of enemies except from some on the far side of a large room and poof I get teleported. When the Commanders used the teleport ability I always saw them as they would be running toward me like the Butchers do, but as they ran they disappeared and would appear next to me like Ash.

 

Maybe more of them are spawning than before? I literally got teleported three times in a row while playing my Rhino on a Grenier mission yesterday, and this morning again doing a run with Limbo. But yeah, just wasn't sure if there was a new enemy added or maybe the AI changed where it would be a more frequent thing.

"Fixed an Issue with the Grineer Commander not always using his Switch Teleport Ability"

 

This was in recent patchnotes. It's probably what you're noticing.

Thanks, that clears it up. I wonder if it's happening way too often now though. Getting teleported three times in a row during a fight can get really annoying.

When I was trying to level Limbo, I had a moment or two where I thought that Rift Walk would bug out and turn into a weird sort of Switch Teleport if you used it while aiming at a particular enemy. It was kind of amusing; I'd press 2, Limbo would appear across the room and be confused.

 

Turned out that there was just a Grineer Commander who had his fun by interrupting my Rift Walk. It'd actually be really neat if they were set up to interrupt effects with that, except they'd need more indication of their presence and so forth so that it wouldn't be 'and that's why nobody uses cast-time abilities anymore.'
