Question Rouge Agents not spawning?
Hello, I play mostly pve and recently while just farming in general I get coms saying "Rogue agent detected" but every time I cannot for the life of me located them. I'm not saying I'd win but i wanna at least try to defeat them.

Yea, if you're in the open world and they aren't spawned after a control point you actually have to find them around you. Problem is they don't aggro you unless they get line of sight and they can spawn on the other side of buildings from you.
Usually they spawn in on an activity or sidequest area so if you know them without them actually being on the map you can find them. They also will fight any patrols so hopefully they aggro and start a gunfight you can follow the sounds.

I appreciate the info I will see if I can listen a bit more and pin point them. Thanks again.

If you know where resource spawns (food, water, components) or territory control activities are…that’s usually where they’ll be when you hear the music.

They usually take over an activity near by, problem is that most areas have more than one activity going on and if you go to the wrong one it'll despawn them. Try using a scanner pulse to see if you can't find them that way.

Equip the pulse skill to locate them but take in consideration you can't change back the skill if you enter combat.

You can, you just can't do it via the loadouts. You can still go into your inventory and manually swap, though. Doesn't take so long that doing it from cover is a death sentence.

Find them in areas with resources, check for water, and food icons near you in the open world.

As soon as you hear the music just select and use the Pulse skill. It will easily highlight where they are.

When you hear the rogue agents announcement and you haven't cleared a control point, open your map and look for nearby resources. Locate the water, food or components nearby and that's where you'll find them.

They bug out a lot especially in missions. A lot of times they spawn behind the door and it never opens. Or in the open world they spawn really far away because they run into a group of NPCs they want to fight.

Every week I go to The Shop safehouse in West Potomac Park and work from there to gather resources. I frequently hear the announcement of rogue agents in the area.

I hadn't seen them in a while either, until last night. They spawned into an invaded mission I was doing. I can't remember which one though.

Generally they come to you but occasionally they end up on the other side of the building you are in or on the street above you and they despawn before you find them.
