If somebody pointed a gun at you from long range, faith or no faith you'd try to move, right? It sensed the mech aiming at it, even after it tried to throw Higan off its trail by [b]changing course[/b], meaning that it knew that the mech knew where it was. Even if the mech was quick about it, the Magna Pater as I have stated many times is very, very smart. Why would it get cocky and assume it threw off the mech just like that? With guns like those, of course it would be prepared to evade heavy fire. "Unrealistic" and "scientifically improbable" have no place in a match where a vampire xenomorph bat and a mech that is somehow fine turned to find it no matter what are tearing up a haunted forest after having emerged from a dimensional portal. I know how my own character's senses work, just as you do yours. The Magna Pater can detect pressure gradients as well as sound, as I specified in its profile, and 1.4 seconds is easily enough for it to notice the threat and take evasive measures. If it relied purely on sound and smell, it would have difficulty even handling common archers. That's why it can sense very slight changes in air pressure from sudden movements miles away.

And it would be incredible if Higan brought in a flamethrower team. We'd have WWIII on our hands.
