Infiltration missions are dumb
This game is not built with stealth in mind whatsoever. So why even have the infiltration mission? For the very niche idea that 3/4 sharen would come and deactivate all at once? And the area is so small you cant even hide to lower the enemies alert status. And even when you're cloaked, as I wait for re-infiltration, the number goes into -1,-2,-3 and does not go back into infiltrate mode.

So please, either fix infiltration, revamp the mission mode, or just remove it and replace with kill it as fast as possible to save everyone the trouble.

You do it stealthily for the bonus drop, a mat and a shape stabilizer ( a chance of each)

I did it with ajax but it was not easy LOL.
If you're not stealthy what you need to do is blow them the ♥♥♥ up. At least I think. This game is a mess sometimes. The first time, I gave up trying to sneak between the waves since they know where you are, shot all 3 til they blew up, mission failed.
The second time i tried for awhile longer but i wanted to end the mission and leave so i tried to fail by s hooting them all again, and the mission was completed.
So frankly, idfk. But anywyas having the character you're supposed to probably would help more than that

yeah blowing them all up works but it doesnt count as successfull infiltration. If you want the successful infiltration bonus, you have to deactivate them rather than destroy the pillars.

Move outside of the mission zone for a few seconds help me, to regenerate my shields.
Only damage the objectives and then finish the quest mob. Usually I die once, but it´s okay. I can complete the missions in 120 seconds. Playing as Ajax.

Ah, I see what you mean. I misread that part somehow in your main post

There are a few character favored game types, Sharen for Infiltration and Enzo for code breaking.

Funny how this mode is just making me appreciate Warframe's spy missions. I wish i could do those to get my rewards instead.

I think the sad thing is the time lost doing the stealth mechanic can be easily made up by just rush killing and changing instances. Faster turnover for loot.

True but the crux of the issue is the availability of rush killing, cooldown timers,chance distribution, and stealth mechanics.

And once again, even in the original post i've talked about sharen. I know she exists. I have her, I'm simply talking about the absolute bad design the game has over the mission. Code breaking for me so far is easy so i'm not that bent out of shape for enzo. But infiltration missions as a design is bad. At least make it a proper infiltration mission if you want to have it. Otherwise just rebrand it. Make it a time attack, needing the player to destroy the pillars and kill the elite under a minute, hacking the outpost gives you additional time. No more infiltration bs. Get rid of the infiltration success bonus, I just need it to be clear cut, and not let the game try to be what it is not, a stealth game. Even warframe, respects stealth to a certain degree that there are methods for non stealth frames to do infiltration mission. You can use a bow for silence kills, take downs, silencers, turning off alarms,etc. Here instead, it says its an infiltration mission but the enemies comes pouring out like a pinata and theres no stealth mechanics to get a succesful mission.

At this point just remove the feature. I get so sick of people seeing that there’s a Sharen that can do the mechanic for extra rewards. However, they just rush in anyways. Does it really hurt to wait a couple of sec 🙄
