Zone recon mission - Infiltrating for bonus objective

[Beaver]

After scouring the web and not finding anything about how to do this mission i decided to create this thread.
This post explains how to get the rewards for succesful infiltration.
First to get enough time you will have to capture nearby surveilence towers. They appear in the zone where you are doing the mission.
Then you enter the zone and start killing the enemies. Be sure not to damage the towers and at some point the enemies will stop spawning.
Then interact with the towers and kill the boss that spawns.
After some testing i found that this still sometimes doesnt work. If this happens fail the mission. You will be able to instantly restart the mission and then the enemies stop spawning.
Hope this helps in your grind.
Edit:
After more testing i had to fail by letting the time run out. Very wierd but it worked consistently.
This was tested in the Fortress - Defense Line (Hard) area.

"After more testing i had to fail by letting the time run out. Very wierd but it worked consistently." Completed it after the timer failed?

I've never had the enemies stop spawning. Always had to brute force the terminals and focus the boss that spawns.

Maybe the ambush chick might have a better chance, since there's no real stealth mechanic otherwise.

I had to go back to a lower level area for one of those and dropped the enemies like it was nothing, but they kept spawning. Is there something that actually ends the waves, or what?

I've been doing it with Sharen, completely undetected, snipe the boss while invis, still doesn't work. I've tried doing the op's way, but I'm either doing it incorrectly or it's not working for me. For other recon posts, don't have access to that one yet.

I think Infiltration bonus only counts for not destroying the towers and not the boss itself.

So just kill the enemies within the time limit? Have you succeeded it in this way before? Not askin to be a smart ass, just askin.

This is how I was first doing em. https://streamable.com/c1n0x4 However, I've maxed out the time and sat and killed everything, but the machines, they endlessly spawn till the time runs out. Eventually, they just spawn in two spots stacked until time runs out.
