Why is there is a timer on kill %amount% enemies missions?

[IIpocTo urpok]

I tried to do this solo on helldive and game just don't spawn enough stuff to get 275 kills in 10 minutes. I don't mind 40 min timer on normal missions but blitz and defend is frustrating and for former is even impossible to do solo. As HD 1 solo enjoyer this is really dissapointing.

The bugs literaly don't spawn fast enough to kill within time. That's his problem. As in the devs intentionally have the mission NOT spawn enough enemies for you to kill in time on bug defense at harder difficulties. Literal developer skill issue.

This doesnt happen against the robots cause they just constantly spawn in a continuous wave unlike the bugs which open like all of 3 breaches every 3 minutes over the 10 minute mission timer, spawning all of like 13 enemies per breach, when your asked to kill 360. The problem isnt killing them, it's there are literaly not enough bugs to kill.
but blind fanboi is gonna blind fanboi I guess.

So you're saying no one can beat these missions despite everyone having already beat these missions, got it.

Team Based combat should be.. ya know, team based

As someone mentioned bugs don't spawn fast enough. I kill everything and then there is like 30-60 secs delay before next breach.

This doesn't seem to be a problem if you have more players since spawn rate is higher.

I did 15 difficulty defend against bugs alone in HD. Any mission in HD and DRG is playable solo depends on your skill. HD 2 however has poor balancing.

You can and it is rare, but there are cases where the enemies literally don't spawn fast enough. There are majors periods of nothing spawning in place to kill and by the time they do spawn the timer runs out. It's not that you're not killing them fast enough, it's that there is literally not enough to kill between waves.

This has happened to me twice now and, while frustrating, is not the end of the world.

Yeah it is RNG depending. First time it spawned mainly basic bugs and hunters. Second try i got overwhelmed by 2 titans and 3 charges at once. Third time i barely got last 2 kills standing next to shuttle 5 seconds before he flies away. There was like 3 major pauses with 30+ seconds of nothing spawning. Helldive (9) difficulty.

You don't have to kill 360 enemies. The kill counter is a point scoring system. You get more points for the bigger enemies. I've yet to personally fail a bug mission of this type (obviously this is entirely subjective, just saying) (Up to imposible difficulty, in case it matters, haven't gotten to Helldiver yet).
