It happened to me playing on heroic with 4 directives yesterday. Officer died, I killed the final boss, CP4 reverted to CP1, the main chest was full of purple crap. When I looted it, CP has changed back to heroic.Originally Posted by thecaveman991 Go to original post
Interesting, that's two people who've had the officer downed, then discovered loot was purpleOriginally Posted by Freani Go to original postIt's a long shot, but what platform do you use?
I tried to reproduce this, but am unclear on what you mean by it changing to CP1, then back to heroic.I killed the final boss, CP4 reverted to CP1, the main chest was full of purple crap. When I looted it, CP has changed back to heroic.
I just cleared heroic Ivy Tunnel (on challenging world difficulty) and let the officer get downed during the attack phase, then left him down during the defend phase:
Note how the CP shows as heroic above, but the world difficulty is not shown.
On opening the supply box, the loot is all gold (rainbow sacrifice shown for LOL's):
The world difficulty correctly shows as challenging
I also tried it on the Nest, but picked up the officer and the loot was gold.
And before some other muppet comes in and whines about "white knights", I'm trying to establish how to reproduce this, not deny that it happened (see riflemania's video).
Thanks, I didn't even know it was possible for that to happenOriginally Posted by thecaveman991 Go to original post
Can you take a screenshot the next time this happens? Those civvies are tougher than they look, and I don't have the patience to wait for them to all be killed.When he died the CP4 changed to CP1.
What you are describing and what the others are describing from CP4 down to CP1 sounds just like the previous bug, where if you take a CP3(challenging) and the final leader dies on the defend stage the world difficulty changes from Challenging to Normal. (saying that the loot was terrible in the CP3) as though it was normal loot) so not sure if it was really a Bug.Originally Posted by dagrommit Go to original post
Or if you are in the CP area once captured it says normal but when you leave the world difficulty changes to challenging .
Here you go several vids on said subject.
This first video take notice before i climb the ladder (world difficulty says challenging) watch that carefully when the leader dies.

This video is showing inside the CP3 and out side the CP3 (ergo world difficulty) watch the difficulty change back and forth.

PS: i'm not saying it's the same thing but changing from CP4 down to CP1 almost has similarities to what was before (IE: changing from world difficulty challenging down o Normal)
I wonder if it's another version of the same thing.
This also. Happens if rogues pop in and you somehow die. Even with global difficulty on Heroic, if you die to rogues and res pawn, the CP for some odd reason is normal. I never wrote about it because as far as I know that’s something the devs did on purpose to keep folks from dying to skip rogue encounters.Originally Posted by dagrommit Go to original post
yo rifle, can you confirm that your whole team of backup got wiped before you completed the CP? did you need to call a second unit of people to acutally take the CP?Originally Posted by Riflemania Go to original post
As far as i'm aware all civilians was alive, even the officer, didn't see anyone down, it was a very smooth run of the CP....no bugs or anything....apart from the cache.Originally Posted by Merlinsdragon1 Go to original post

Never seen that happen before, officer yes but all allies aswell......them allies are tough mofo'sOriginally Posted by thecaveman991 Go to original post![]()
