Yeah this was a bummer, I was in the group, but we ultimately had too low DPS and could have used more bodies to soak that damage I think at the end. I also heard you could kite the big ban as he is slow.
There was a few minutes worth of failed shots die to being stuck which was a bummer for sure.
Worthy effort though. Just with we had 5 more mins.
Just wish they had some mechanism to recover those peds, because that is 1k+ peds lost in my case, because I had no real way to verify which beacon I was running, as a member of the team. I may have thought twice If I realized that was the 2nd from the highest beacon with only 3 people and low dps on one.
