Is it just me, or is the Progenitor on H-047c bugged to hell?
Basically it took me around 12 attempts to defeat it.
I could destroy both it's turrets no problem, but after that it's shields appear to stick at 50% regardless of what I hit it with, and it seems to be invulnerable. Emptying the clip on a fully modded rank 6 Revenant with incendiary ammo, rank 6 Black Widow, or Cobra RPG does absolutely nothing.
Eventually after after something like the 12th reload things were different and my weapons actually seemed to be damaging it at last - in fact Drack brought it down.
So what's going on? Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is there some kind of obscure trick to beating this thing that I just happened to catch lucky on during my 12th attempt?
Googling it, it seems that other people have experienced the same problem, but nobody seems to be sure if it's actually bugged.

It might have been stuck in a invulnerable frame during an animation after you destroyed the second turret. Some of the enemies have those, but usually their duration is very short so they aren't (much of) a problem.
Also, you're supposed to aim to the red core after destroying the turrets when it gets into the "chest beam" mode.
I found someone who mention that destroying the turrets before it "wakes up" could cause the issue as well. That person had Zap and the bot could still damage the shield thought. Just not the squadmates/Ryder until the shield was gone.

Ahhhhhh
Actually that's pretty much exactly what I did. I think it has it's back to you when you first encounter it and I just blasted the turrets from long range with the Black Widow.
Very likely I glitched it by taking out those turrets too quickly. Good to know, and thanks for the help.
