If you have a base with hallways they do fine, they patrol all the hallways nonstop till killed, regenerate and never lose smarts, moral, cost close to nothing save for the creation station and body bags since like the robots you don't pay a salary. I do think they should be able use guard stations, and tables at least though.

I think a portal trap combo designed to feed enemies to your hungry abominations in the basement sounds quite cool.

I guess we got the freaks from EG1 in EG2 now, but they are quite disappointing. They are good front-line fighters that can compliment a back-up of hitmen with rifles nicely. However, similarly to all other muscle minions, they love to loiter in any hallway you have laid out, meaning that they will probably roam in any place you don't actually have built anything (like the basement, in your case). This means that they probably don't get to get involved in fights at all, making them nearly useless. I would have loved it if they had given us a way to control them a bit. Like an item that attracts them to specific spots in your base. To be honest, both of the minion packs have been a bit disappointing. I certainly hope the final DLC will be good.

That is correct, it is a corridor programming with their behavior. Abominations have a higher attraction to corridor tiles than the usual muscles. I tried it too, just mark a specific area as corridor and the abominations will always go there like moths to flame.

I figured out why his abominations like to infest his basement. It happened to me too when I dug out new areas using the corridor floor. It seems that muscles are attracted to corridor tiles. Once I marked my floors as something like power tiles, they all exited that area.

The Abomination seems to have 30 armor and deals 50 damage. It is affected by Ivan's passive and prioritizes hanging around hallway tiles. You can herd them by limiting how many hallways you have and where. Martial artists have more armor (35) and damage (55 with best staff). Abominations can break disguises and regenerate smarts rapidly. They can also escort agents back to the casino if set to distract, which looks quite funny. Overall the dlc feels sad, it lacks content. Could have at least added research or missions to do to improve these further.

He said “run the murder simulation”. He gradually marked groups of the abominations for termination, meaning they turned on each other- there were some who were left unmarked while the engagement happened.

If the Freaks/Abominations love to mingle in the basement...either remove the basement, or create a trap like unto the infamous Uber-Trap from the first game, where the Abominations kill everything that enters it, and no one you'd like to keep comes in. At least the Freaks wandered the island, crushing unseen threats and attacking anyone who wasn't part of your group. The Abomination seems to be a Frankenstein's Creature riff with nothing beyond that ( no chance to turn the base into the equivalent of a ghoulish mad scientist lair out of a '30's Universal horror film. Lord Kane or Dr. Neurocide would have loved them, but sadly, they're not here to experiment. ).

Its a game mechanic that Teddy missed. It is not an issue with basement. Muscles and abominations are programmed to be attracted to corridor tiles and the basement works as a large corridor for them to guard. Just mark it as something else other than corridor tiles, such as power or training, they will leave

The fun thing about the Abominations is that they can take the body bags of Super Agents once they're dead and dusted. Just got rid of Symmetry after the twentyeth...twentyth... 20th vault theft attempt and want to put that body to good use? Abominations! Note that I'm a player who's...excited, tenatively, for playing it on Xbox cause I'm on the one hand really looking forward to this game but also really worried that I'm gonna feel pressured into buying the DLC. I probably WILL, if I get enough leftover Christmas money, but I'd rather not feel like it's a necessity.

Ah they are only guards? Understandable but sucks a bit. I can only get one pack right now. As much as I would like my fellow undead to be around The robot minions might be what i should get as they are guards and workers. the robots explode breaking stuff.... That fully defeats the reason I was going to use them. Less stuff i have to rebuild because a mega fire broke everything because I shot a bloody cannon. Still if I make my full workforce and guards robots leaving only my others to be people in theory i could remove 90% of all the stuff needed to keep them happy move all the stuff needed far away from the guard room and keep my posts light i could in theory avoid unwanted rebuilding. "Iven?" Yes. I see so many people struggle in combat so i thought "Why does no one use iven he is a master in it." they don't because the game makes you use that stupid cannon about 30 times that sets everything on every floor on fire.
