Diablo 4 PvP players keep getting killed by their Construct companion
Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 PvP players have reported an error that involves their robot companion attacking them for seemingly no reason.
In rolling out Diablo 4 Season 3, Blizzard introduced players to a new AI companion, the Seneschal Construct. This helpful little bug-like robot entered the mix as a fairly underpowered sidekick before an update significantly boosted its abilities.
The companion’s not totally out of the woods in terms of its functionality, though. According to some players, the Seneschal has become a hindrance when fighting others in the game’s PvP mode.
Apparently, it’s gotten so bad that a number of Diablo 4 users have died from attacks by their own Construct.
Diablo 4 PvP users shocked by robot companion’s betrayal
A player on the Diablo 4 subreddit recently asked fellow fans if they’d been experiencing problems with their Construct in PvP. The Redditor claims their companion suddenly goes rogue and attacks them whenever they take out other players.
The post reads in part, “Anytime I kill a couple players my construct just zaps the f*** out of me until I die…” When asked if the attacking Construct may have belonged to another user, the original poster insisted it was their own Seneschal landing the killing blows.
Blizzard EntertainmentResponses from other Diablo 4 PvP players indicate this particular Companion glitch isn’t unique to just one person.
One reply noted that numerous PvP users have encountered the same issue, writing, “Absofknlutely it’s happening to everybody else. We (pvpers) initially thought it was a bug with tempest, but sadly that’s not the case, it does it even when you don’t have any stones in at all…”
Another Redditor chimed in to say they’ve succumbed to attacks from their robot pet multiple times. The user explained, “Same story here. Killed a player, my potion was on cooldown and this continuous zapping killed my character. Happened several times, PVP is bugged. This is a joke.”
As of writing, Diablo 4 developers have yet to address the seemingly PvP-exclusive companion glitch.
