### Issue Type (Required):

Matchmaking

### Issue Description (Required):

When players rage quit or disconnect during a mission they aren’t being replaced if the mission is no longer in rotation. They should be replaced by players matchmaking via quick play. I don’t know if this is intentional so I thought I’d make this post in case it’s a bug.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Play a mission that has less than five minutes on its rotation timer and when someone leaves after the mission has rotated they won’t be replaced.

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Often (\<75%)

### Platform (Required):

PS5

They likely would match via Quickplay, but a lot of folks are specifically selecting the Event missions right now instead of QP. So, guess it’s that plus the lack of players which results in things not refilling.

That said, I don’t want to rule out there really is a bug given all the other issues right now. Who knows how many things are broken.

I’ve noticed it a lot too. Get a bot half way through and you’re stuck with it

I had this happening again. Can’t have any other auric game turning into a duo auric run. Imagine how frustrating this is for the average player.

Edit: on PC

Needs to be a 5-10min lock out on anyone doing this after going down.  
If you can’t handle going down because you are “so good” you need to cool your head for 5-10min
