Mission Door Ambush?

We had JUST entered a mission the other day and I said to my buddy " I wonder what the Boss looks like?", no sooner had I finished saying it then he came running around the corner and beat the snot outta us, was pretty funny actually.

Anyone know how to do that?, have an ambush or a Boss attack the door when you first enter?

I was thinking maybe placing a destructable there but there's no way to actually place it at the door. Is there another way?

Thanks.

On really small maps the boss will sometimes be right at the door. One example is the Lucky Six Casino unique map which is why I made a point of not having a boss there.

Well, this Boss actually came running around 2 corners to ambush us, so there was no line of sight, he just knew we were there, we thought it was great. Just wondering how to do it.

Do you recall the arc number?

No, I don't only that it was a very short mission, with 5th Column baddies. I'll see if I can stumble on it again.

Hook the ambush to an auto-complete captive (set single, no guards.)

Wouldn't the captive have to be right at the door for this to work?

Yes, but I noticed that some captives (well, it happened with a custom I was testing) on some maps can actually somewhat detect the player through walls.

No, they don't. Setting a captive with the "Single" for captor group difficulty will spawn the ambush once you enter.. and that ambush will come at you, wherever you are.

Works for allies set to single too. I didn't realize what I had done until I started getting ambushed at the door. Took me a while to figure out where it was coming from, too. I honestly didn't remember setting up such a thing, but boy, it works.
