Ambush

An Ambush is a special mob of enemies that spawn in a manner that is intended to take the players by surprise. Typically they are already aggroed and run toward the players.

1. Upon accepting a mission from a contact, enemies of that type may appear nearby.
2. After obtaining the objective (such as a glowie or hostage) within a mission, enemies may appear in areas that were previously cleared.
3. Outside the exit door of a just-completed mission, enemies may appear and surround you. This type of ambush is often followed by a clue and another door mission.

When ambushes occur on the regular (non-instanced) maps of the game, other players may participate (willingly or otherwise) if they are in combat range of the spawn.
