I just happened to me again! I was fighting a pack of runners. One started its sprinting/jumping attack and MIDAIR it was gone. Poof.
Maybe too many “killed” enemies create crashes? Sometimes i had like 7 harvesters and 5 tanks and lots of runners and hunters destroyed in a region and my game crashed more when there were too many dead enemies…although the bug about living enemies disappearing is annoying, it might be a side effect? I don`t know, just hope they solve it in the next update.
That cannot have been it for me this time.
I had this issue yesterday in a very obvious way while engaging a FNIX harvester + his runner escort (4) from the Helgaryd(?) church tower. I disassembled two runners and while targeting the third he vanished right out of my scope view and the fourth was also gone. Poor harvester… but it was somewhat annoying to see that runner vanish in front of my eyes
The sometimes even return! 
Anyone else out there having an issue with bots disappearing before u get a chance to loot them.
This has happen to me several times and I can help but wonder what I’m missing out on.

Yeah, it happens. Not often, but it does happen. One of mine was a Rival I was trying to get back to loot. Most often it is Runners that vanish, but Hunters do as well occasionally.
Since this topic has grown with many experiencing the same issue, I’ve merged all threads I can find and placed the main thread in Bug Reports. If you guys have any further issues like these with disappearing enemies, post 'em here.

Yes, I raised it in a live session and they fixed it at the next update. It was Vessian. Interesting if it’s come back. If we raise it again, they’ll fix it - it is a bug.
My advice on this is always leave enough space to click on take all before it can vanish.
On co-op it can happen at any time.
Platform:
PC
Description:
During a fight (for the bashing of Ticks) I experienced it live when two hunters completely disappear after the fight before I even could loot them. Fortunately I recorded it.
Steps To Reproduce:
Really dunno. It happens so sporadically that I most of the time think I miscalculated hunters that I downed.
