Auto-blocking without Reflex Guard installed (Spoilers)

[mrmexas]

Throughout my various missions I have been experiencing the occasional auto-block, with or without my melee being explicitly equipped. I have yet to ever install the Reflex Guard mod, so seeing this happen is a bit bizarre.

Has anyone else seen this happen recently? I'm pretty sure this started happening only after I finished The War Within. I've so far believed it's related to my choices in said quest, but now I'm not so sure.

This has been happening for a while now, I'm not entirely sure when it began, though I vaguely remember around mid summer.

Do you have [Power Drift] equipped?

You know, I have been using that pretty often lately. With that power strength I always overlooked the knockdown resistance bonus.

That's most likely what it is. Problem solved!

Never mind, this didn't occur to me at all.

If you have ANY sort of Knockdown resistance mod equiped, the moment you resist the knockdown the warframe will perform a blocking animation with the gun equiped.
