When did Infested runners get a ranged attack?

[Lancars]

So i was in the sim testing some things and i noticed that runners also have a ranged attack the little corpus ones. I thought chargers where the only ones to get a ranged attack?

I think the infested have enough ranged attacks that seems to be homogenizing the fights now. There strength was swarming and weakness range. Now they have an array of ranged abilities. Mutalist MOA. Chargers. Ancients with harpoons.

Nope all of the common trash infested mobs got this treatement just because they were "easy" to farm so they can hit you with their turd which deals modest damage. Not sure when they added but not soon after they added this ability to the infesteds.

Does this mean the *Helminth Charger* is a literal Pet version of the Juggernaut*? (Mods for it probably exist*

Awesome, DE doesn't have to make it give us a Juggernaut, and do other Contents Updates.

It was back in late update 18 or maybe early update 19

Many updates ago they gave a ranged attack to every infested unit that didn't have one already.

Why ? So players can't camp on highground that isn't reachable by infested cannon fodder. (like on top of an excavator)
