Been tracking objectives for the past week during APEX stuff to see how they're set up relative to speed runs and such.
They're apparently in completely static sets; hacks, objects and pizzas will always appear in the same places on each respective map. While there are at least three different placement sets for each; they're completely predetermined.
This includes assassinations.

Given the overall level of glitchiness of the game at launch, I prefer this to having them attempt to spawn objectives randomly and having some of them appear inside objects or below the map...

It was the same in ME3. Unless I've missed your point.

I agree it would be fun to vary the positions of the hack and pizzas.
However I am fine with the static locations I would like more if they concentrate on implementing new objectives instead.

Good thing there is no escort drone. I imagined it bugs out of the map all the time every time. But I like the idea of devices crawling around. You'd have to catch first. And they should spawn all at the same time. :noo:

I think OP wants to hint that this is a terrible SJW way to implement game mechanics.

After doing map challenges on Gold, Paradox for example, tallying the last nine games I've done for said map, two have had uploads. So, these aren't completely static. Most were assassination, devices, and retrieval. One was against Kett (failure, wave 3) and one was against Remnant (success). The objective you get it isn't static, when you get it it the placement and type is, even for assassination. |

Didn't we have a post here on uBSN a month or two ago showing the fixed objective spawn points for the MEAMP maps? I know I saw them somewhere. Pretty much the same setup as ME3MP.

Devices should be strapped to 4 Raging Berzerkers that are spawned simultaneously, regardless of enemy.
