You guys ever have a mission where you're fighting for your life the whole time - then you call in the extract and the spawns just stop?
It's called a successful mission. The enemy fled from the upcoming justice they would receive. Liberty and freedom prevails once again.
Yep. It's kinda eerie, we always just assume it was cause we cleared the fabricators or holes and patrol spawns just were in our favor.
If you extract after destroying all hives/bot fabs then you should have only light resistance. Destroying those lowers enemy patrol spawns
That's actually the opposite of how it works! There's a video out there (Maybe this one? that explains how patrol spawn rates work.
Counterintuitively, destroying hives and fabricators INCREASES the amount of patrols.
Yeah sometimes a buddy is half way across the map complaining about hunters while I dive and try to adjust my position to make it look like I’m sleeping.
And then in another game, you have the same quiet first minute while waiting for the Pelican and then you get the next minute fighting two bile titans and three chargers that came from out of nowhere...
This happened to me yesterday with 4 Bile Titans! I've found in that situation that since you can't possibly kill them all, your best bet is to blow up their tail so they at least can't spit at you.
Then again, maybe the spit would have them kill each other...
