Bug abuse maybe?
Hello, today I played a FFA Tournament game, while having a Squad around 3-4k. This is on part with the strongest squad I can make with the items, and I did not use robots without weapons/pilots, so I don't think there was any reason to throw me up against a way stronger player.
In this game I encountered a player with a maxed out purple star redeemer, legendary pilot, 6 star arc 12s, but nothing else in their squad. After the battle, I quickly looked at my recommended friends list to take a look at their squad, and they had 2 presets. 1 had only the maxed redeemer, the other one had 5 normal weak robots with low level weapons and regular pilots. I don't think you are supposed to be able to join the game without a full squad, and even tho I didn't actually see their squad during the game but instead like 2-3 seconds after, i think it is unlikely they changed something this quickly.
This is even more likely bug abuse because obviously when they killed me once, I realized they were a stinky manipulator and i started paying attention to them more. They clearly had to manipulate because somehow they were so bad, they managed to die twice with a maxed out redeemer, not only that, but both times against ai with 3-4 star stuff. While it was quite funny watching a person struggle to hit stuff with arc torrents for 1 minute, both times after dying, they respawned in the redeemer. First time could have been them spawing and dying in 4 other mechs at the very beginning of the game, but you can't do that 2 times in a row.
I was interested if anyone has seen something like this before, or if you think it was just a big coincidence wth the dood manipulating mm before and then unequipping everything right after the game plus somehow having the ability to spawn and kill 4 bots within 2 seconds.
