A8 - Biff endless enemy waves bug?

[Турист]

So I got to A8 to save Biff from Major forces, Biff got killed, I defeated 3 waves including one with this militia commander with weird name. But the waves just keep spawning! And I can't escape (map borders are inactive). This looks like a game breaking bug

This event has 5 waves total. Next step is advancing you to phase2, so I advice you to do Refugee camp first!

5 waves
have lots of ammo and be patient watch out for arty.

I stumbeled across this fight on my first run of the game with a lot of rookies (lvl 3ish) but with one machine gun and 2 snipers. This fight is fairly easy if you stay in the middle of the map, place the snipers on the high place (ad shield). Doing so leaves Biff and his guys out of the fight - even the optional reinforcements if you hand over the green jewel / convice Biff to give it back are just running around Biff and never participate in the fight.

Having Barry and his special grenades with you also helps to disable bunched up enemies. A SMG runner for quick enemy tapping is also a good strategy. As is dodging the mortar attacks. (just move out of the red circle, easy-peasy)

Thanks everyone. Looks like I'm reloading waaay back
I was minding my own business in the lower part of the map when I got the message from Biff, so I sent my closer (weaker) squad to him. Was in a hurry to intercept the assault squad. Got into couple sector fights on my way there. Then it happened so that everyone is beaten up (a bit) and weapons are malfunctioning often. On top of that, fight with assault squad happened in the middle of nowhere with barely any cover, so melee and shotgun guys overwhelmed me.
I decided to not intercept them then and go straight to A8 - like maybe whoever is there will help me win the fight.
By the time I won third wave everyone had 30% of HP and my only sniper broke so there's that. Just came there underprepared and had no time to fix & heal on top of that

Alternatively you can just intercept the squad that is heading up to his zone. When you get the call that hes in trouble, game spawns 1 stack and if you kill it, allows you to get to him at your own time. By the time i cleared to his area of the map i was stacked and the waves were nothing.
