Regarding Extermination Missions

[mosaickle]

Some time ago I noticed a change where before, if you killed everyone in the Exterminate missions no other enemies would spawn, after some patch it was changed so that there would always be enemies spawning, but they'll be "on the run" (oh Lotus..). Is there any point in killing more than the required for extraction?

That's a change since Octavia. That avoids you looking for the last one that could be stuck somewhere. I think it was especially made for Uranus where spawns were a bit chaotic with the Sharkwings parts.

Extra loot from the enemies you kill. Other than that not really, as far as I know.

Nope. Just reach your kill quota and head for extraction. The change was made to eliminate the need to backtrack for any missed enemies.

No, unless you're there to get more kills or do stealth xp farming. It's mostly just a mechanic introduced to fix the problem with incorrect or buggy enemy spawning, i.e. getting to extraction with 132/133 enemies killed and the last one not spawning.

Ahh, I see, thanks for the answers, I see how it's a pretty good change

Well, there are more enemies for you to kill if you do stealth exterminates for focus farming. Personally, I welcomed this change.
