Instant death by unspecified source

[Icohedron]

Happened during a Kuva Flood mission on Eris, both my Warframe and Sentinel died instantly (seemingly) without cause. What's odd is that for one, I had sufficient energy with Quick Thinking to survive any single hit from an enemy at the current level, and second, even more odd, is that my sentinel died and was not able to use Primed Regen + Sacrifice to revive itself then me afterwards. Instead, the damage seems to ignore the ehp I have from Quick Thinking (plus two Arcane Guardians), instantly kill the sentinel without allowing it to use Primed Regen, and, despite having Sacrifice on the sentinel, prevent my Warframe from entering the downed animation and instead go straight to the revive/spectator screen.

The mission was not difficult and long. I still had plenty of Primed Regen charges available. (I can provide video footage of the full mission if necessary).

I checked EE.log for the cause of the death, but it gave more questions than answers.

Here's a snippet of the log around the time of death:

Had that happening a lot in Arbitrations lately (Nidus killed through undying stacks, Nezha through Halo, Rhino through Iron skin, Gara through her 2 etc), but this doesnt seem to be one.

I haven't been able to pinpoint this to anything in particular, but have experienced some odd deaths from time to time, quite rarely (which kind of makes this difficult to report). Just out of nowhere, full health and everything, *boom* dead. And me shaking my head out of shock as to what just happened.

Perhaps this is a new level of end-game difficulty they have implemented silently? /s

I have experienced the same issue on multiple occasions. The last time it was while playing with Ivara Prime while using Prowl and being invisible. I suddenly died without any obvious reason (had not been taking any damage and no enemies were near). I then revived and few moments later I died suddenly again.

 

When looking in the logs the cause of death is NULL??!!?!

LotusSentinelAvatar with ID 585 died of natural causes. Source of damage was NULL source, source object type was NULL source object type

 

This also happened with other frames in different missions so hard to identify the cause.

ah yes the "brain aneurysm" feature

It can happen to anyone. Anywhere. Even on the toilet.
