cannot capture and destroy the base
second Base ā¦a new FNIX base spawned, I destroyed 98% of it, then went to fast travel to get ammo.
During this time, this FNIX base has been completely renewed and expanded to full level. 
Same here, it seems that I canāt open the shield devices to finally destroy the control point(s)ā¦
And so I have absolutely no way to get rid of those damned CPs from my game ! 
The tick spam is causing my game to crash repeatedly. When there are too many around, the game canāt take it and just stops. Happened 3 times in the past 2 days and a lot more than that over the past few weeks.
Iāll hear robots fighting in the distance, go check it out, and realize itās just a bunch of rogue ticks
fighting their own hunters and faction. By the time I try to run away, the game crashes.
Hasnāt been an issue until recently. Game is becoming unplayable because of it.

Issue is known, should be fixed on the 23rd. They are a side effect of having too many FNIX Bases active at once.

At first, I thought it was cool and by design, Now I have ticks all over the place at the Boo Church. This is a bug. It was cool seeing a FNIX base get destroyed by them though it took a while. Then Game crashed. I am going to wait for a patch fix. It crashed on me several times now.
The recon update, announced for 23rd, should adress all these issues, as pontus said.
Keep calm, play another game in the meanwhile and try again on 23rd, like me.

Yep - maybe some of us could actually go outside for some fresh air, learn some Swedish, and have a selma or two.

ā¦what is it tick or gnomeā¦ 
Gnome ticks.
You can find informations about them here:
ā¦from Feb 2020 !?
We have August 2022 - no fix in this timeā¦ 
uuuupsā¦
Why fixing a feature?
Itās the best stability and bug indicator Iāve ever seen.
The interesting thing to me about this tick bug is it is literally like an in-game contagious virus which ate its host. The bases multiply, and so do the ticks. Once they multiply enough times, the host (game) dies.
Itās actually kind of fascinating if you look at it from a virology point of view. Could be useful as a model for viruses somehow.
yes, you can loot tons of ticks
the bases spawn and level up within 15 minutes. You canāt destroy them anymore because the game crashes first
After the update, the ticks still infinitely spawn for me. The only difference this time is the game didnāt crash when I raided one of the bases.
ā¦then youāre lucky, with me āeverythingā is like before the updateā¦
lookā¦
Eh, I spoke too soon. It crashed again when the ticks spawned endlessly and I accidentally fell into a pool of water. Guess Iāll just patrol the north shore until itās fixed.
By the way, I also have those āunexplodedā missiles you got towards the end (from the doggy while you behind the rock). A whole ton of them just land and stay there lit when one of the Russian Big Boys fire them at me.
Yeh me too, patched the Recon update when it arrived and was excited to see if the ticks were fixed as mentioned in the release notes, but they still happen. A lot.
Game also crashes whenever Iām close to a tick swarm or a FNIX base.
Plus saw some weird new behaviour where ticks were spawning from a Hunter corpse, but not fully āhatchingā into ticks, that is theyād just spawn continuously, spin around and then disappear. Fun to watch (and Iām not sure if you can make it out in this screener), but I donāt think thatās supposed to happenā¦

Yeah,
The game is unplayable if there are Fenix bases any where near me.
