Enemies Re-Spawning; or Ow My Ears

[Roxxapo]

I have two separate issues with re-spawning enemies.

First issue: I'm pretty sure this is a bug.
A specific sniper in Pobeda Factory, East of the westernmost travel point to Kolkhoz Zarya, re-spawns when I walk through a specific area.
The first few times I encountered him, he was just up in the tower, I killed him, and then went about my business. Now it seems, the sniper doesn't spawn until I walk through a specific spot and will continue re-spawing every time I pass through the spot. I killed the bastard 3 times and gave up on trying to get rid of him. Even after loading a save he still wont die. To be clear, I'm not leaving the area, I'm simply walking away from the tower and he re-spawns right behind me. He is not respawing in a lightning strike either, which is actually my second issue.

Second issues:
Lightning strike re-spawns. I'm not sure what the official name is, but it's when an enemy that you just killed re-spawns with a lightning strike sound effect. This is normal game behavior as far as I know, but annoying nonetheless.
The real issue with it (apart from the ear grape) is when an enemy you just killed, re-spawns not even a foot away from you, and then blows your ass away with in a microsecond while you're still fumbling with your backpack. I have died, several times to this while trying to pick up the shattered pieces of my ears.
I thought that the lightning strike re-spawns were tied to Rift anomalies (the creepy moaning shadows that drop "Shard" artifacts when you break them) but I've had enemies re-spawn in areas where there is no Rift, or after I've destroyed the rift. Specifically in Pobeda Factory (should change the name to nightmare factory) near the entrance to Kolkhoz Zarya, where all the armored mimics are hanging out.

That's the end of my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rant.

Ha that reminds me, one tide he just kept respawning straight back in like every minute after I killed him when I was trying to loot his tower. Very inconvenient. But after the next tide it stopped happening so just a glitch in the matrix I guess. Give it another try after your next tide see if you still see it happening.

with the respawning its supposed to be random, so you're just unlucky I guess? I have suffered the same issue myself but again it was only once. now I think about it, there was no lightning sound that I heard either so possibly it was a bugged spawn system same as you describe... but it might have been after the 2.2 update where the sound system got messed up perhaps.

Anyway TLDR: do the same issues happen again for you after the tide?

But yeah, the lightning strike spawns should only happen near the rifts that you destroy to get a shard. If you still have dudes spawning in after you've destroyed the rift it's deffo a bug

It's usually within a few seconds of me destroying the rift that an enemy will re-spawn.
I was messing around a little after I posted and found a rift near entrance to Kolkhoz Zarya. It was just dead silent for some reason.
The sniper for sure was a bug because he re-spawned 3 times within seconds of me killing him.
