So, I dove back into the main story recently, only to find that the game freezes every time I capture an outpost or sometimes when a lot of stuff starts sploding all at once.It just freezes whatever is on screen, kills the audio, and remains in such a state. The system doesn't freeze or seem to have any issue. It's incredibly frustrating, not least of all because I've never had a problem with the game crashing, freezing, or bugging out in any other way before. Also, because of the nature of the crash, there is no option to report the error.

Did they break the game with an update? I can't think of any other explanation.

for the record, I am playing on a ps4 with a physical copy of the game (and no, the disc is not damaged in any way.)

*edit: this had mostly been happening around a specific outpost, so I went to another one across the map, blew some guys up and went to do a takedown and it froze mid stab.

*edit 2: so, while I was typing edit 1 i left the game froze, about 3 minutes into which it suddenly finished the takedown animation and seems to be acting normal again now. so.....I guess if you're having a similar problem, try to wait it out.
