Liberate the Camp

[Butterfly85]

Specifically on Plains of Eidolon. This bounty mission is a complete crap shoot, especially if you play solo. 

The area is huge, enemies either don't spawn or spawn outside the control area, so it's better than even odds the countdown flies down and you fail before seeing anyone.

The thing that's the most galling about this is the same mission on Deimos asks you to patrol a far more manageable area.

I know this mission has been scuffed for years now but is ther any chance of looking at this? This one mission really puts me off doing cetus bounties as when it comes up there days I rent to just quit to Orbiter.

Many posts have been made complaining about it, i have made one my self pointing out some annoying bugs that occur often.

For some reason some times enemies spawn mid-air and then get teleported to some random area outside the mission zone, making them either very hard to reach or impossible.

I've had this happen where enemies spawned in cave.  Somehow the whole cave structure counted as the control area.  But there were no way points.

My quick and dirty workaround has become to jump around everywhere on Ember like a flea on crack, spamming 4 like my life depends on it.

This objective can happen in several different areas of Plains of Eidolon.   And they are very much NOT equal!!.    Some of the spots have LEGIT spawn issues.   Others work just fine.   

One broken spot is the base way to the left of the gate  Its by the ocean and also has a cave system nearby.   The spawns there are so slow and spread out,  You dont know if they are on a mountain, underground in the cave or just not spawning all together.   

-----------------

In terms of doing that objective I like to go slow and steady.  I lock my eyes on the control % and only kill single targets to keep it at 100%.(usually what my pet kills lol).  I just stand around waiting.   This has the added benefit of making guys who spawn far away have the chance to come to me.   This eats up the clock and barring a bad location with bad spawn results in easy wins.    No nuking!!  Nuking is what gets you in trouble.

It's still pretty much run killer. They should lower optional challenge to 25% just like it's on Deimos and make area smaller.

They have GOT TO make the area smaller. Like OP mentioned Deimos' area is easy to manage. Did they not notice it when they made Deimos?  It's too difficult to secure the bonus when playing solo. Besides Plains of Eidolon is the 1st open world we get access to and it lies on the very 1st planet, Earth. Meaning, new players will be playing it often and this could be even more difficult for them. Crazy how long this issue has been present.
