So I ran into an interesting situation. I started the last mission of this line, where you have to defend a device until Chroma shows up at which point you go and scan him, and I was trying to give it some time for other people to join so I decided to go around and break all the containers in the first area, get some stuff, whatever. I accidentally fell in the water in front of the portal and got reset onto the platform. It spawned me in front of the portal, not through it, and started the defense and two or three enemies spawned on the outside of the portal. I killed them and waited. The defense target never lost health. I started looking around and down the hallway leading away from the portal I found a crawl space that lead off the map into a tiny room with a couple lockers in it (you have to blow up an explosive barrel in there to get to it). I came out and a few more enemies spawned. I killed them, defense target still hadn't taken any damage. So I experimented. I ran back into the crawl space, stayed in there for 5-10 seconds, came back out and sure enough, a few more enemies had spawned. I did the entire mission like this, even up to the point where Chroma spawns, and I never went through the portal once.

Did I cheese the mission? Absolutely, and I feel no shame in doing so. This mission is hard as hell solo and literally no one wants to help with it.
