When attempting to play a faction mission to hack a laptop I was playing with no HUD. After successfully infiltrating the site and hacking the laptop I exfiltrated only to see a car full of enemies show up and start shooting the laptop to pieces resulting in a mission fail. There was no way I could have known that I had to protect the laptop to successfully finish the mission, because that was not in the mission brief.

When playing without HUD it would be helpful in those missions with additional objectives (e.g defend for x minutes) if there could be an audio cue over radio to let you know what is about to happen, e.g. “the hack has started but it will take 2 minutes to complete. You need to protect the laptop until it’s finished”. That would be the preferred option, but if that’s not possible maybe we could at least see the additional objectives as part of the mission summary on the objectives screen? This would be better than failing without knowing why
