    Dark Zone recon missions are "skipped" on a fresh character

    Hi,

    Noticed this bug post TU8, never encountered it before this:

    Upon recruiting Senait Ezera (the Dark Zone officer) for the Base of Operations, you unlock the ability to do three side missions (at the appropriate levels) to explore and map DZ East, South, and West.

    Post TU8 however, doing these missions on a fresh character (Not boosted to 30) skips the entirety of the mission up to the point of relaying the data via the SHD terminal on the DZ wall. The Dark Zone officer also plays out some dialogue reserved for your first piece of contaminated gear in DZ East. This happens for each recon mission, same way. You never get the chance to enter the DZ.

    Entering the DZ after the mission is unaffected, but other players will now be present as intended after the mission. The mission also automatically awards a piece of gear, uncontaminated.

    Observed on PS4, after Title Update 8 (Warlords of New York). Not observed prior to this update.

    To replicate, progress far enough on a fresh character to recruit the Dark Zone officer and attempt the mission.

    I can confirm this happening. Guided me straight to the terminal, all dark zone waypoints unlocked, and the recon mission skipped. No means of restarting it like other missions.

    I'm on PC, just as a note. Didn't realise I was in the PS4 section.

    Same here. Very annoying as well, since I don't play PvP. Have you guys tried to do the recon missions with a Lvl 30 agent? If so, does it work properly? Thank you guys.
