I've replayed that mission numerous times, both on normal during my initial playthrough to level 30, and then on hard...I will add I play solo.
Anyway, enough waffling, my issue is that on my last playthrough I experienced a couple of strange incidents.
The first was at the open area after the initial firefight with the 3 NPC (both waves) where you have to blow up the first set of napalm tanks, the part that seems to be a square shape with tanks, ladders, walkways, around its edge.
There was a yellow NPC who was sat in a part of the map that I was unable to reach. I killed him, he dropped a yellow object, but I could not find a way to his position no matter what I did. It was in the far right corner as you look into the square that makes up that first tank area (not the beginning tank part with the 3 NPC) in a slightly elevated area.
No ladder led to it, no way to climb over from above and drop down, and no way to "go round the back" to find a staircase or something...I simply could not get to him.
I am sorry if my description is vague, though I think those who know the mission might know where I mean.
Second, upon reaching the area where Ferro appears from the lift I played as normal, killing his minions etc...and at one point became low on health and had to run upstairs to the yellow quarantine tunnels.
Then the building caught fire.
As I said I've played that mission before and whether the fire does start after the death of Ferro I can't remember, but this happened at random before I had even taken half his energy.
So my question is whether Ferro must be killed as quick as possible, presumably before the fire, to give you time to pick up any loot he drops and run to the lift/elevator?
Because run I did, as I had no choice and almost died before reaching the lift/elevator to escape, meaning I wasted my time fighting all the way through to Ferro...and I will add that despite not killing Ferro, or all of the other NPCs that spawn in that last wave, it confirmed I completed the mission and I was given the XP/credits or whatever it is that was the reward for completion on hard difficulty.
So please, forgive my essay, and any help is appreciated.
