... that I should know the answer to by now ... [Edit: due to the less than overwhelming response, I went ahead and investigated. Capturing for the record in case anyone else is still asking basic questions about this 10+ year old title...]
1) Do all the spawned enemies die at the end of W11? Or is there some criteria for it, like: a) only ones that have taken damage [Bing, bing, bing, WINNER! - any enemy that has been damaged dies at the end of the wave and the (by all accounts, last) one who damaged gets the kill]
b - only ones in sight or a certain proximity of the LZ c) does it depend at all on # of extracting players (like do they die if there are no players extracting?) d) other?
2) More specifically, do Abominations near you/LZ... die and explode? [All damaged abominations explode, possessed ones go A-bomb]
3) And most specifically, do those Abominations kill you and prevent you from safely extracting (I think not. I think you may drop, but are counted as extracting as the A-bombs explode after the game resolves extractions/success)? [they will drop you as recorded in the feed, but you will get mission success and extraction. So, no worries]
[this latter Q is what made me ask, then I figured I'd generalize]
4) Any other interesting things one should know about W11 end?

chiming in  LOS or proximity is not required. I frequently drop a Singularity or Combat Drone etc at a choke-point far from the LZ and will get the kills on extraction. c) who cares? bunch of guys who ended up as monster poop don't need the points  |

I'm pretty sure I caused a team wipe by pulling an A-bomb into the extraction circle. IIRC we got mission successful but not extraction.

I've seen cases of "trolling" like that often reported. Maybe it is different for teammates? Or did the pull perhaps kill them (pre-W11 end) first?
Just tested again, twice. I used god mode and disabled it with 1-3 seconds to go. Each time, damaged Possessed Abominations A-bombed at the end of W11 on top of me. I was downed, but I got full extraction credit.

It's possible pull or someone panic shooting killed it just before the countdown expired as you said. I just remember being so embarrassed. Rookie mistake.

Okay, if quoting all this doesn't cause an error, then I'm pretty sure I'm not having the issue. The weird part is that I've now tested across three different connections from different IPs with different providers. Hmm... I'm actually starting to think geography would be the most likely explanation.
