Random Low Level Mobs

[Rudra]

Sometimes on a mission map, 1 of the spawns in a group is -6 to the mission. Like just now in the "They Call Me The Doctor" mission I am doing at level 36, a spawn I attacked included two level 36 Infiltrators and a level 30 Field Agent. It happened earlier on a level 34 Council mission too, with 2 level 34 Council soldiers and a level 28 Council soldier in a single spawn.

OMG, I have this happen in almost every TF I run where one mob in a mish or two cons grey. I started to think I was going crazy because every time I have brought it up to my teammates, they never notice/see it.

Just happened a 2nd time in the "They Call Me The Doctor" mission. Same spawn configuration. 2 level 36 Infiltrators and a level 30 Field Agent.

It's confirmed as that spawn for Crey. There are 3 spawns of 2 level 36 Infiltrators with a level 30 Field Agent in 1 room of the Project: Locke mission. So every time Crey spawns 2 Infiltrators and a Field Agent in at least the level 35-39 range, the Field Agent is always 6 levels lower.

Edited to expand range due to higher level spawns still having the -6 Field Agents.

This was reported elsewhere, and the issue identified by pigg diving -- the female Crey Field Agents are defined as having a level range of 30-30, so in any mission that spawns Crey Field Agents, the male mobs will spawn with the correct level range for the mission, but the female mobs will always spawn at level 30.

I think I run into this most with Council mobs in TF's like Yin, Citadel, etc. I wonder what causes them to spawn in at like level 6 sometimes.

They aren't just spawning at 30 though. They are also spawning at 31. Haven't done any higher level Crey missions yet, but the Field Agents are always -6 to the group they are in even if the group is a set of 37s.

I am seeing low level Crey Field Agents as well but in a different mission.  I've got a lvl 35 mission ,+1 level, team size 2 and the Crey Field Agents are level 31/32.  The mission is 'Find file on Project Locke' from Gordon Stacy contact. I gather I will see more low level spawns.  I should clarify it is the female Crey Field Agents that are low level.  Males are normal level.
