The mission Short Circuit doesn’t cleanly reset itself if you pause the mission while still in the area. Here’s the steps to repeat:
- Pick up Short Circuit
- Click the Suspicious Cyborg. It explodes.
- Pause the mission
- Wait. Forever. It never comes back.
- Have a friend show up. He can see the Cyborg and he can complete the mission normally. It’s still not back for you.
- Continue waiting. Forever. It never comes back.
- Pause the mission
- Port out of the zone
- Come back. The Cyborg is finally back again
So there you go. If you accidentally pause the mission like I did while standing in the area then you’re locked out of it until you leave the zone and come back.
