Yep, that one is a suck. If there is one you can't find, the easiest thing to do is face a wall, pull out your L6 and blow yourself away. Then select retreat on the dropship. You may have to find grenades instead.
Or underground. It's great when you know where they are, they can shoot you, but you can do nothing about it no matter how many grenades or rockets you use.
Thankfully this is mercifully rare. In all the time I've been playing I have seen this once.
I've not encountered this bug yet. Although I have encountered a bug where the CZ "score" does not move no matter how many I kill.
OK so the Elite Gods decided to have a laugh it would seem.
Yesterday this happened to me again. Dude inside a silo wearing it like power armor; could even see his Apehlion sticking out but alas the gun has no hitbox
So now I have seen it twice.
I've seen a couple where that last NPC was in a building, shooting out, but otherwise invulnerable. Not seen an underground NPC since U2 or thereabouts, but remember the fun of watching the marker moving about the surface.
As mentioned above, leave & come back, then hope it behaves itself!

The strangest one for me was a scav with invisibility cloak. Showed up on radar, could shoot me, SRV sensors showed that he's not underground. But completely invisible. Decided to try running into him and behold—the collision worked! He even punched me
So I disposed of him with my Tormentor at point blank range relying on his screams to indicate whether I hit him
So I disposed of him with my Tormentor at point blank range relying on his screams to indicate whether I hit himI really need to get into this mechanic more. But couldn't bring myself to get involved with a whole new on foot engineering grind. Kind of like how it took me two years to finally start engineering my ships because I couldn't be bothered with the engineers. That, and the fact that even if I took a legal assassination mission I'd get shot at and wanted status. At least back in 2021/ 2022. Not sure if that's still a bug or not.
Buy G3 gear and start without additional engineering.
Legal assassination type missions with a silenced weapon are generally easy. One shot and walk away whistling a jaunty tune.

Or just don't do assassination missions. Plenty of legal non murdery ways to get mats.
This is a family friendly forum, so I can't say what I really think of him...
But screw that guy!
He's nothing..
In another 12 years on alpha, last week, just pushing the button for the lift got me killed...
Perhaps that guy was hiding standing on one of the chairs...
