Yesterday I was doing a Trafficking mission with Zimos, and it was very annoying. First of all, I have the infinite ammo upgrades for grenades, explosives, special weapons, and rifles. But for some reason it decided to take this away for the mission. It didn't even start me with full ammo! Now Zimos gets out of the car to do a deal, and all these Morning Star gangsters show up. Everything goes fine. On to the next deal.
During the second deal, even more showed up. I got out of the car and attacked them. The deal was complete. So I waited for Zimos to get back in the car, but he didn't. Instead I see him sticking around, shooting at the gang members, and not getting in the car. I try to drive up to him, but nothing happens because I'm in the passenger's seat. Seriously? I can't drive even for a second? Zimos wasn't even trying to get in the car! He was just waiting around, shooting the gangsters, as if he thought he would kill them all eventually.
So I get out of the car (which has been pretty badly damaged) and get in a new one closer to him. But what's this? While I was getting in the car, Zimos has walked even farther away. Just get in the fucking car already so we can get to the next deal! Thankfully, he did end up getting in the car eventually.
Third deal. After the deal is done, more of the same happens. Now these gangsters he's killing, what happens when he kills them? More show up. How do they get there? In cars. What do they do with the cars when they get there? Get out and leave them there. What can they do with the cars once they're dead? Nothing. Once they're dead, more show up. And they show up in more cars. So there's cars all over the place, pretty much always exploding due to the amount of stuff there. Not only that, but it's making it harder for Zimos to find the way to the car, since there's tons of flaming wreckage in the way.
Of course, there's also the brutes. They send TONS of these things. They're everywhere. As soon as I kill one, I see one or two trucks carrying even more. And they push cars around. That includes the car I'm sitting in, waiting for Zimos to get in the car. So the car is constantly being pushed around, keeping Zimos from being able to get in. Of course before he gets anywhere near the car, the car is damaged enough that I need to get a new one.
Another thing I haven't mentioned: what typically happens when one of the gang members gets near the car I'm in? He pulls me out. Now the game registers that as me getting out of the car, so it assumes I want Zimos to as well if he's in there. Rather than stay in the car and wait for me to get back in, he gets out and I have to deal with more of this shit. Eventually the car I was in exploded with me in it (inevitably), killing me instantly. Knowing I would have to restart from the first deal, I just exited the mission.
Does anyone else absolutely hate these missions?

I usually take my shiny, purple, Saints tank. As my MC (Laura Bailey) says during Mayhem: "How can you beat a tank!? It's a tank!"
