ManyStar Wars Jedi: Survivorplayers are finding the game’s scavenger droids annoying, and it turns out this was intentional. Ever since it launched a couple of weeks ago, fans have been diving intoStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, whichcontinues the story of Cal Kestisas he searches for a hidden sanctuary planet from the time of the High Republic, and fights against both the Empire and a rogue Jedi named Dagan Gera.Most ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s enemies are flesh-and-blood Imperial Soldiers or Bedlam Raiders (who have allied themselves with Gera), but Cal faces off against a wide range of hostile creatures and droids as well. One less-hostile type of machine players encounter in their travels is a small red scavenger droid that roams thenewJedi: Survivorplanet Koboh.

In a recent post on Twitter,Jedi: Survivorgame designer Mitchell F Wolfe noted that he designed “or at least managed” every encounter with these droids in the game with the express purpose of annoying players with their antics. In fact, he jokes that he takes offense when players aren’t annoyed by them.
Fans have been sharing their own (unsuccessful) attempts to capture one of these pesky scavengers, as well as asking Wolfe about other difficult encounters inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. These include thegrueling Force Tears challenges, which have Cal battle a difficult group of enemies under a time limit or placed at some kind of disadvantage. Wolfe says that he only designed a few of these side activities, while the rest were created by the other Encounter Directors on his team.

This is what he and his team intended for them all along, and fans have shared their stories of encountering and trying to trap these headache-inducing robots to no avail in between challenging the forces of the dark side.
