When fighting the battlepod, I could avoid any rockets coming down by standing in certain sectors. If we look at the numpad of our keyboards, it's specifically the 3 (lower right) sector of the arena (this arena had L shaped obstacles in it; if you'd like a screenshot, I could provide it). I suspect you can do the same in 7, 9, and 1, but it was 3 I abused in the fight. To get rockets to come down on you, you have to be standing on 8, 4, 6, or 2 when they fire. I assume it's because the L obstacles block line of sight, but that should be made irrelevant since these rockets come down from straight above and it otherwise trivializes the fight.

So, just standing in one place, not taking any damage at all, is by design? Kinda disappointing, that. At the very lest, if the rockets came down everywhere, you'd have to move about.
As is, the rockets fire, but there is no place they come down. No ring, no anything. Seemed pretty unintended to me. You'd think the machine would just not fire rockets if it was. And I'm pretty sure that the battlepod is supposed to be a miniboss fight of sorts. >_>
Its not exploit, its by design. Not every fight is supposed to be a boss fight.
