Daemonhost Spawned Out of the Air

Issue Description:
Had a match on on one of the Assassination maps. Not the prison, the other one. It is the 2nd to last sector (going off medicae) before the assassination target.

Well, after we dropped from the stairs into the big room a daemonhost spawned on top of me and was immediately awakened. No sleep state or anything – but also it targeted me first. Interestingly, as it was attacking me it had no HP bar. Fought it for a minute or 2 but ended up dying, and so did another teammate and it took off as it’s designed. No idea how much damage we dealt.

Only possibility I can think of is the previous sector also had a daemonhost – so their sound cues were overlapping? But i don’t know why the one I was fighting had no HP bar or any sound wake up cue and such.

Really wish I had a screenshot. I’ve actually seen this happen on a stream once; it’s extremely rare. Would like to hear if other players have encountered this.

Steps to Reproduce:
Can’t say – first I’ve experienced it.

Mission Name (If Applicable):
Sorry, don’t know the name. Just know it as the other Assassination mission that is not in the Prison (I think the Prison is called Magistrati something).
Modifier is Hi-Intensity Hunting Grounds

Platform:
Steam

Player ID:
Kenshii

Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
2:40 AM PST

Reproduction Rate:
Once

Extra: Searching around this is the closest match I could find, although mine was immediately aggresive. Video is several patches ago so I don’t know if that helps.

Do want to note that I’ve seen this very rarely and someone metioned the daemonhost clipped through the floor or something.

I’ve been in a similar situation, in the investigation mission, that mission to scan for the source of the virus, where you go up the stairs after the first medical station, sometimes you find that after going up the stairs a daemonhost appears in the open space on the first floor.

If someone accidentally backs away at this time to use medical station or avoid enemies on the stairs, the daemonhost may be triggered.

It’s not common, but it does happen, that a daemonhost shows up in the area you just cleaned up.
Of course, this also includes the case of spawning a daemonhost directly in front of you.

Posting as it happened again on a different map. Exactly as I posted – spawned on me awakened.

Daemonhost was heard after the dropdown; I didn’t drop down. Hitting it showed no hp bar either. Map Silo-Cluster 18-66/A.

Yeah of all the enemies to just spawn in long after you’ve entred a room, a DH is certainly an unlucky one.

It’s been happening for a very long time now, hopefully this gets fixed properly and soon.

Hi again. Posting for a third time now. This bug has happened to me 3 times now out of I guess 4 days of playing. This time it’s Consignment Yard HL-17-36 Hi-Intensity Hunting Grounds.

The only cases I’ve observed in these 3 times is that the daemonhost will either be in an adjacent room (forward or behind) or in the current room in its sleep state.

So either a player is triggering the daemonhost and I just don’t notice – but it targets me first for whatever reason and displays no HP bar when it should.
Or something else is just triggering it to immediate aggression, as well as showing no hp bar. I don’t know if I’m too far but I don’t hear its phase 2 semi-awakened dialogue.

I wish I could record but I got a potato PC.
