So I’ve been defending democracy quite a bit - currently level 22.
In the past week or so, I’ve noticed a spawn rate bug that seems to happen randomly - enemies just spawn forever.
I’ve seen this happen for the bots and bugs, on both challenging and hard. Just randomly out on the map you’ll encounter a patrol, then suddenly you’re entirely surrounded.
Using stratagems constantly, getting 30+ kills each one you throw, and still the enemies never stop coming.
No, this is not a bot drop/breach, it’s constant patrols spawning right on top of your group. On some areas the bots do hop off a ship, but as soon as the first ship leaves another comes to take its place. Talking 4 or 5 hulks/chargers at a time spawning within a minute. Destroying the ship just makes the next one come faster.
Once it happened midway through a mission and one of my squadmates got kicked - the spawns instantly slowed and the remaining 3 of us were able to stop them from spawning not 60 seconds later. Squadmates joined back and we were back to normal. I know this is a one-off as the missions prior to/after this one were no problem.
Anyone else have something similar happen?
The longer a mission goes on and the longer you stay in one placethe worse it gets. I think what’s happening is while you’re in combat you’re attracting more patrols who are triggering new bug holes which spawn in and if you don’t clear them quickly they might call in another but hole. Moving around seems to help as they target hot spots but I think all of that is working as intended.
All that said I’ve certainly been in a mission that bugged out spawns where we had 12 chargers at one point and every one we killed two or three more would take it’s place.
Check out CountVon’s post below - sounds like it’s the case. My group is very stratagem heavy so that would explain it.
