Apparently, a bug in the campaign of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 caused a normally peaceful protocol droid to suddenly go rogue and attack a player.
What happened? Player Scorpion5437 reported that he was playing through the campaign of the shooter Star Wars: Battlefront 2 again. In the second mission “The Dauntless”, he encountered a normally peaceful protocol droid of the C-3PO model, which was supposed to just stand there.
Suddenly, this robot drew a blaster and began shooting at the player. He tried to defend himself, but the droid appeared to be invulnerable. Scorpion5437 did not survive this encounter.
Bug or Easter Egg?
How did this bug occur? Scorpion5437 mentioned that there was a glitch during the mission when a door did not close as it normally should.
I ran further than I should have, because a door was supposed to close and block my path to the droid, but it didn’t. There was always a protocol droid at the end of the corridor, but it had never shot at me before. I think that was part of the glitch.

How could this happen? It’s likely just a bug. The player should never have been able to get so close to the droid, as the door would normally close behind him.
It is conceivable that the developers included this as a little “joke”. Those who pass through the door – which one normally shouldn’t do – will have an unexpected surprise. Similar to a haunted house where all figures are puppets – except for one, which then scares you.
