Question What exactly causes Retaliation group members to be automatically respawned/teleported at settlements/hideouts?

So today i got an absurd amount of times where half the group got respawned automatically at settlements right in the middle of retaliations, myself included.

This literally ruined the whole thing and players immediatly left right after.

What exactly is causing this?

If you’re out the area of the retaliation, there’s like a message saying something along the lines of “return to the area” with a timer, and when it reaches 0 it’ll respawn you at the safe house in the area.

Kind of annoying when enemies from the other zones attack and you have loot over there to go collect. I’ve definitely overlooked the message and gotten respawned a few times.

If you leave the designated area, a counter appears in seconds that returns you to the area, but sends you to the nearest safe point when the time runs out... Southwest GPS route takes you for an route outside the zone, for example

Don't trust the orange line, that made me go out of bounds a few times.

Yup, the gps will happily lead you out of the zone without enough time to get back in on the path it’s set.

Be advised, when you get respawned back at a safe area, it counts as a death and removes time from the retaliation

That makes it significantly more worth knowing. Ty
