    Getting CCed out of nowhere

    It's been going on since the last maintenance, sometimes I get CCed out of nowhere: I get on fire, shocked...

    I do NOT have the special ammo directive active.

    Anyway I brushed it off as some enemies having special ammo, until now: I just got hit by the flaming foam while in a firefight with hyenas.

    And the foam was not on an area around me, it was litterlly just directly applied under my feet.

    It happens to me all the time too. Unfortunately, my internet is such that I couldn’t possibly blame it all on the game, that wouldn’t be fair. It’s super frustrating though...

    Usually when I get shocked out of nowhere, there's some sniper around who has a drone up. I don't remember a situation where I got shocked and absolutely couldn't find the cause - doesn't mean that such situations can't exist, of course.

    I do occasionally get ignited, but like you, I attributed that to some enemies having special ammo regardless of directives. It only happens after getting hit, and often there is one particular enemy in a group whose shots ignite me. That enemy may drop fire ammo after getting killed, so it _looks_ like it is working as designed.

    I can't tell if I have encountered the flaming foam outside of fights with the cleaners. There were a few situations where I didn't expect it, but it's pretty rare anyway and I don't have a perfect memory of those, so I couldn't tell whether this was working as intended. I haven't seen evidence to make a claim to the contrary either, though. From your description. I'm not sure if there is a connection between special ammo and flaming foam though.

    Absolutely, the occasional fire ammo or the shocking turret I can expect. That's why I have not said anything up to now.

    The problem is being CCed while in cover with nobody shooting at you: meaning that one single CC bullet is what hits you, nothing else.

    As for the foam: there was no red circle, no AoE, just the single mound of foam appeared at my feet.

    It's just another thing about the game that is broken. Don't worry though, UbiSoft/Massive will be along shortly to completely ignore your concerns.

    Most likely invisble enemies + cleaner engineer turret or something bug, since now there are cleaners in some manhunt control points, shock was probably an elite hyena engineer turret
