What's up with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spawns?

[Shajirr]

How the ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to play the game, if all enemies respawn every 10-20 seconds?
So far my gameplay consists of (in a New Eden special mission):
a) turn a corner, find 5 guys there, possibly one with minigun who can shred most of hp fairly quickly
b) Kill them, go back behind said corner, use syringe, wait for syringe to recharge, use it again, wait for recharge
c) turn a corner, all enemies are respawned
repeat from step a

Is there any way to reduce spawn rates? They are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous, you can't run 50m without a bunch of enemies spawning

[Shajirr]

I am stuck in the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ corner for like half an hour now, as soon as I try to leave I get at least 3 enemies in basically point blank range, every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time

You can lower the respawn rate in the game options.

Ok, but why enemies respawning every 10 seconds is "normal"? Its not normal by any means. Like, I am not literally stuck in a corner and can't get out, running out of ammunition for all guns.

I tried hacking but it is useless, since spawns are infinite, a hacked enemy kills a few, dies, and everyone instantly respawns.

Oh and this is with "Limit enemy reinforcements" checked. What happens if I uncheck it? Enemies will just spawn every second forming a solid line to the player?

Didn't help. I set it to reduced, and still get very fast infinite spawns of 5 enemies at once. Like, everywhere I go will be a new spawn.

verify your game files.
While it's normal that enemies can spawn literally seconds after you looked away from spawn, but you described seems even for E.Y.E brutal.
If anything don't help, just run past them... somehow X_x

Yeah this doesn't work. There aren't any errors in the console so veryfiying files will do nothing.
This spawn problem did not occur in the main campaign as much - it became a problem in New Eden special mission only.

Special missions are meant to give you a challenge that lets you really go all out with everything you have. If you haven't gotten very far in the game yet and you lack the levels, tools and skills, then some special missions will be hard.

[Shajirr]

Its not challenge, it is just annoying as ♥♥♥♥.You either go stealth, or be forced to kill thousands of enemies for no reason, since going 50m in any direction triggers a respawn.
I really hate this respawn system, it throws usual strategies of carefully going through the level quietly eliminating enemies out the window, because it doesn't matter where and how you kill enemies, sicne they will all be back, so your best bet is to ignore them with stealth.

Git gud dammit

Also, seriously, use heavy armor wtf, and you got your shadow clones by default for a reason. And don't hang around obvious spawn points for too long, obviously.

I honestly believe you overlooked some spawn setting or whatever, usually the numbers are manageable.

Despite first two maps having highest spawn rate AFAIR, it's definetly manageable and until you set "Master" difficulty level fighting shouldn't be a problem, there's also ways of avoiding the fight.

[CHOO CHOO]

As others have said, clones are a really good idea. They may not last for long, but they do often spot enemies or draw fire for you.

Nope, I have checked all settings. Go to New Eden side mission, if you're spotted at least 5 enemies will spawn every 10-20 seconds, on "reduced" spawn setting.

Next time I'll just use the cloak there.

Clones don't really do anything other than draw fire. And if some enemy spawns with a minigun clones disappear super quickly.

I don't have trouble killing enemies now, the problem is that I can't explore the level because of them.

i hate to break it to you but this is how game was designed , with "respawning" enemies , lots game use it and spawn enemies from dead air just some games are more clever with the placment and timing

here considering how powerful you can get i honestly would say i wish there was option for more spawns then you can set it to max , when you get to lv 40-60 you wish you could set curve higher but you cant

[Saravanth]

You know, the only kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wielding a minigun in new eden among all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that spawn there would mainly be jian. I think. Perhaps some storm troopers but they shouldn't yet show up.

Appreciate the spirit, but maybe try resisting the absolutely natural impulse to smash their ugly skulls.

[DeathDread]

Turn down the difficulty level to Easy or Chicken and go into AI settings and lower all of them to as low as will go! And yes having the 'reduce enemy respawn ammout reduce' checked only works in solo mode and not multiplayer mode. OK, good luck...
