Helldivers 2 patch changed ricochet damage, and now players think they're getting bodied by rockets that just bounce off bots

Helldivers 2 players are getting bodied by their own shots ricocheting back at them, but there's more going on here than meets the eye.
Yesterday, a huge new Helldivers 2 balance patch dropped, adjusting a vast number of weapons like the Quasar Canon Stratagem. What might have been overlooked at the time is that ricocheting shots were quietly changed, so that rebounding shots from heavily-armored enemies would now hit the player that fired them. "Trigger discipline is highly recommended," the patch notes helpfully pointed out.
This was apparently put to the test just hours later in the clip just below, in which a Devastator Automaton with a shield supposedly manages to send a rocket straight back at the player in question, immediately killing them. That the shield manages to send a powerful rocket right back at the player and kill them instantly should be pretty worrying for other Helldivers.
Automaton shields now reflect the rockets
