    Can someone explain this sudden spike in difficulty? Something I did?

    You know the drill. Attack the enemy convoy. ISAC warns of the second wave. Beat the second wave and collect the supplies. Right?

    I beat the second wave and a third wave of all elite shotgun rushers come. Then a fourth. Then a fifth. Sixth. Seventh. Eighth. All elite shotguns. Every time.

    I never beat it. It was un-winnable. They ground me down. I was out of all ammunition. Out of grenades. Out of everything. Hive destroyed. Drone getting one tapped. Dead NPCs not dropping ammo of any kind.

    There was a murder pile of 100+ NPCs around me. They just never stopped spawning.

    Is this something I caused? Ignored the map too long?

    Was it a glitch in the matrix? I logged off because I thought it was broken. Is it normal? Is there something I have to do?

    I did ignore these two districts a long time. I noticed there were public executions going on every 20 meters or so. I understand ignoring it may have consequences but are the consequences meant to be West Side Piers flashbacks?

    Just looking for clarification. Something I did or just a corrupted instance?

    it just happens sometimes i think. Ive done CPs that took 30-40 minutes instead of 5 because they just kept coming. Probably just a one off you will get every now and then.

    I had this along time ago on Capitol hill Stronghold.

    Last section where they come in on Heli's.

    Infact i had approx 6 or 7 heli's drop in reinforcements, wave after wave after wave it was insane.

    Apparently sometimes the game goes into overdrive a once in a blue moon event that doesn't stop

    Here is the thread i did ayear ago lol

    Certainly seems like a corrupted instance

    Yeah. I'm not complaining that it was too hard. I got the distinct feeling that is was not going to end.
    It felt like a glitch. After my hive was destroyed and fully recharged, it wouldn't deploy again. I was not disrupted either.
    And the enemies not dropping ammo felt... wrong.

    Happened to me a few days ago with an enemy secured area or whatever they are. Ran in, killed the first wave, positioned myself ready for their reinforcements. 8 or 9 waves later (on challenging) i ran out of ammo as well and died. Happens from time to time, a few extra waves, sometimes they just don't stop. I was playing challenging difficulty on PS4

    Happened to me on 4 new spawns. One territory control. One elite patrol. A couple of supply convoys.

    I gave up for the night. lol

    I almost always run on challenging because i quite like ROFL-stomping through enemies. When i switch to heroic, or play a few missions helping clan mates, I've found sometimes when i return to my game on challenging that the loot goes back, but the enemies are still heroic grade for a while. Like super soldiers. Not really a problem for me, but it happens. These things keep us on our toes.

    Aaah. This is a possibility. Still doesn't explain the endless waves but it might explain heroic difficulty in hard mode. I had been in heroic farming for Hard Wired stuff but switched to hard to farm supplies for the weekly.

    I find it almost impossible to engage in ANY combat without multiple adds, sometimes from different factions. It's insane. There must be an NPC wandering around every 50 paces now. It wasn't like this before.

    Watching random patrols wander in, followed by "Elite supply convoy" from ISAC, amid level 4 control point assault, not what I want to hear. Hope you brought the band-aids...

    Literally just got this. I called for reinforcements at a level 4 control point and got the elite convoy message. I opened my map to find it and it was originating from the CP I was attacking and coming straight to me. That's when I noticed the red gun on the map because a different faction was attacking the CP.

    I died. lol
