: AI "jittering" on large maps or when targeting players on ledges has been significantly reduced, making their pursuit inside ship-like structures smoother. Lethal Company - Steam Community
Gaming communities across Reddit and Steam have conducted extensive A/B testing. User "DeepSpaceSurvivor" posted a side-by-side video showing a v151 creature ignoring a hull breach to chase the player, versus a v152 creature aborting its attack to seal itself in a escape pod when the cabin depressurized.

They will enter a "Search Mode," checking common cover spots and lingering near doorways, significantly increasing the tension of hide-and-seek scenarios.
