random defense missions failing bug?

[Bec Son]

Just had a round of sp tyana pass when all of a sudden it just ENDS no warning to hp of the target, nothing. literally failed us for no reason, no feedback on what caused it

Sometimes enemies start attacking the objective during the switch phase, at high levels, it's almost instantaneous damage. Especially when everyone's trying to kill an acolyte and rushing to the other side.

If it's not that, either an enemy got a lucky crit (which I think was patched) or someone on your team got rad procced and accidentally destroyed the objective.

the thing is, this is at the 30 seconds mark for the round. no one is close to the objective, its full health, and the acolyte is in an area where it cant even see the objective

Ive had this happen before on another mission where all of a sudden the mission fails, both times i was host so it might be caused by a client side bug??? im so confused why its happened

Sometimes enemies fail to attack the target, gather up and only then attack all at once, leading to serious spike damage.

But it could be some annoying bug similar to what Skitter Girl has (or it has been since fixed), she is able to attack players from other sectors on map, and worst is that she can attack multiple times in short duration without any of the usual fog and presence warnings

There is very rare bug where the game just slaps "Mission failed" for no reason. The bug has been there for years, it's rare but it happened to some months ago again. Only a few enemies were left and as scattered around to find them we suddenly failed the mission.

Enemy level wasn't high for Meso relic run so it wasn't sniper or high damage enemy. Some of them were stuck in spawn rooms and Defense target was at full health so it was a bug.

Most likely it's a radiation proc on a friendly player or a grenade got throw from far away against a non-gated objective

But if it's a bug then try to recreate it and report it, other than that it sounds way too rare of a condition to get a hotfix on.
