Bank mission - key found bug

[Mageman]

A few times while running bank missions, I'll occasionally get the message "Key Found" (from defeating enemies), but I won't get a location (on the map) where the key works or what I'm supposed to do (stop the bombing, stop the heist, etc.). I think I found the problem.

 

I was doing the Talos Island mayhem mission. I found a key to kidnap someone and was escorting them up the hill to the chopper. While doing this, I saw a "Juicer Freak" fighting 3 PPD. After completing the kidnap mission, I came down the hill - the Juicer Freak was defeated by the PPD - and I found a Tank Smasher nearby. I defeated the Tank Smasher and got the "Key Found" message without a location to go to or what that mission is. So I think that the bug is coming when some of the enemies are defeated by the PPD instead of by you.

I've had the same happen on the Atlas and King's Row mayhem missions.  Apparently, the unlock is dependent upon your PC defeating ALL of the non-PPD/non-Longbow Foes, such that if ANY of them get defeated by Longbow and/or PPD then the side door mission is not awarded, even if the "Key Found" announcement appears on your screen.

I have also received this bug while performing the safeguard bank missions. The first time I noticed that one of the enemies was defeated by the PPD instead of by me is during the Talos mayhem mission.

This has happened to me several times on mayhem missions lately.

I have watched specifically for the keyholders to be killed by PPD or other npcs.

I have not been able to confirm that this is what's happening.

 

I have noticed a couple times that without the marker showing on the map, when I go to the jail I can free a villain and get time credit for said rescue.

You never get a waypoint for the police station when you defeat the mobs that give you the jailbreak key.  You'll know the mobs that give the jail key from their chat, something like "I can't believe they captured Silent Blade!".

 

Personally I've not seen what's being discussed here except for the jailbreaks and I do a lot of mayhems (my favorite task in game).  This jibes with StellarPancake's comment.

 

I have to contest the notion that you only get a key if you, the PC, defeat all the keyholder mobs.  I very frequently let the Family fight the PPD (or vice versa) just because I hate PPD in the 20s with the Glue Gun and I always get the key when I mop up the Consiglieri that's inevitably left over.

Oh god, I haven't had to face them redside, but I've had to fight them a couple times blueside (in a vigilante arc, and fighting rogue cops in a Talos Island arc) and I totally agree, the glue guns suck.
