FIXED: Drones Showcase - Missing in action mission fail trigger too close to exfil point
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The Drones showcase has a red circular "AO" = Area of Operations marker and trigger. If the player leaves this area, the mission ends instantly and unsuccessfully due to "Missing in Action".

Observed: The final objective exfil point is a rather inconspicuous building within 20m of the edge of this trigger. It's quite easy to accidentally leave area of operations.

Expected:

  • Area of operations should be large enough to allow reasonable room for tactical freedom and minor errors in navigation.
  • Missions should never feature fail without warning triggers! Give warning that player is leaving area of operations prior to ending mission.

Fail trigger size is larger in 1.54.
Player needs to go approx 200m past win point to fail mission.

Still resolved. Please close.
