Group with a lower level player and run their missions with them in decent T5 gear. There is now a really good chance that one or more of the mobs will just flat out hide, or never even come out of their spawn point. I have even seen it on control points, where the final boss just said screw it and while spawned, would not come up from the sewer grate he spawned under. We had to use flame grenades to kill him, as they actually work through walls and other geometry.
My working theory on this, is the exact same reason they just rush you sometimes, they think they can kick your azz, so they get in your face to do it. However, now it is backwards, the mob "sees" your gear and gets so scared, he won't get anywhere near you, which sometimes translates to stays in hiding behind his spawn point. Had this happen in the bank mission many times, I grouped with a newb I created on another account, to farm the hard wired piece I needed, and 4 out of 5 times, I could not complete the mission, because one of the second floor snipers would not show his face. I could even stand in the wide open and go afk, he still wouldn't come out from behind cover so I could kill him and complete the mission.
