Oro - Infestation Defense Mission

[ChisakiCMoon]

Well me and a friend were doing the Infestation Defense Mission on earth and well let's just say the infestations seem to be having trouble.

 

First off, when we hit wave 2, 2 of the infestation monsters were high up in a platform that we couldn't reach and stayed in that area. We had to do lots of parkour to try and reach them. We did finally get to them, one of us dying to broken lights and had to revive from it. 

At first we thought that was going to be the end of it but nope. On wave three when we seemed to have cleared out every infestation monster, the wave count down stayed on wave three and never said we finished it. We stayed in the mission for a good few more minutes to look around the area to see if we did miss anything, since the map said we got them all. Though we gave up and aborted mission.

Has anyone else had something close to this?

Yes, I actually came on here to report about this.

 

The area you're referring to is the 'zipline' upper areas that are near impossible for most Warframes to get to. Crawlers (I was able to check with my scanner) seem to get trapped up there, even just one of them, and sit behind a door where no powersets or weapons can nail them. I had to go Nova to Wormhole up there to shoot them myself, not really an option for most players. No doubt other types of Infested can get trapped there as well.

 

I think a similar problem occurs on the Grineer Phobos tileset with a similar zipline setup.
 

Not working as designed, I assume.

Yup, that's the area. Sadly enough you have to do it 3 times. Man... I just wished they allow you to get up there somehow in case of a small thing like that happens.

It also seems, from what i've seen, is that they get stuck up there around wave 2 and 3.

yeap i had to quit a couple of times (and i freaking HATE quitting) i managed to take the things out with a penta and then i changed to oberon and just reckoning them to death because it seems that reckoning has a limit in width range but not height.

[ChisakiCMoon]

Well seems like were finding different ways through this minor problem. I also agree with you, I hate having to abort mission.

i have this bug too. really disappointing, honestly.

[TheDudeOfGaming]

Yup happened to me 3 times. Twice it happened on wave 5. Anyway I just completed the mission, got lucky I guess and the infested didn't get trapped up there.

Edit: I found a way to complete it using a basic version of super jump for the excalibur warframe. Just climb on to one of the silo looking things on the platforms. Then super jump on to the ledges where the $&*&*#(%& crawlers get stuck.

i also had this several times.Seems Rhino stomp works too. You just have to go as close as you can and activate it. it looks like it is limited by only range and not height difference
