That's a good thing. Solo would be impossible.

What heist? There seem to be some heists where he doesn't show up.

The enemy apprantly has a 5% spawn chance on DW so that's probably the reason why lol

He does. Seen him on Alesso OK solo. He just doesn't spawn on all heists.
Try Rats Day 1, Alesso, Hoxton Breakout Day 2.

So far, it seems in all attempts, he appeared when tested, just at a rather inaccurate time and not on all heists (as he need quite a bit of space with his 12 shields around him and due being stationary, should stay at a location where he matters)

I'm pretty sure this is entirely wrong.

Found him in Watchdogs and Diamond, so far.

It is wrong. On three attempts of three cases in Overkill difficulty, he appeared three times in heists where he has the option (Alesso, Rats). Which indicates to me that he has a 100% chance with a large variation in his spawn timer. As I don't believe that in three tries, a 1% chance triggered three times successfully.

On the two tests I was part of personally, it took about 8 minutes on Alesso, about 13 on Rats for him to spawn.

Well that's been spammed a few times over the forums since the update. Not just me saying it

Well, actual tests show that this is wrong. It's probably people just claiming that because they played jobs where he doesn't spawn anyway (Four Stores, for example)

Then there's a lot of wrong people.
In addition to what Bindal said, I played like 5 levels today, he appeared on all.
I'm pretty sure he's guaranteed on DW.

He appeared on a solo Rats Ovk (with bots).

He also locked assault to Fade Phase so only cloakers spawned. Very nice.

Maybe it starts off as 5% and then increases depending on what you kill, the amount of waves e.c.t?

Can confirm he also shows up on Day 2 of Hoxton Breakout on Overkill both times I did it today.

Different time periods with one being 22~ minutes and the other 26~ minutes. He announced himself both times during the final "Defend the Operations Room" objective before you grab the server to escape. Not sure if that's just odd timing or assured spawning. Both with bots.

He takes a while. As said, 13 minutes for him to appear on my test on rats (2 players, 2 bots) and about 8 on Alesso (1 player, 2 bots). Amount of players and heist itself probably affects how fast he spawns, I guess. And there is most likely also a bit of randomness involved.
Suspecting him of being incapable of spawning during the first assault, too.

No, it seems that the 5% are just complete made up bull by people that - as stated before - played heists where he can't spawn anyway.
