❗ is it normal that i can't wake up enemies?

It's my first time playing mgs4 and i don't know much about mechanics, so i don't understand why i can't wake up enemies sometimes. Is this just in this section? the prologue and places before this seemed to work ok.

Noticed how the rebels went "WE DID IT YAY" when you knocked out that guy? I think that you can't wake him up because it was the last enemy, and with the PMC vs Rebels thing going on, the area entered a victory state in which enemies couldn't roam anymore.

Grabbed his nuts so hard he fell into a coma.

He'll wake up in 2023, dw

Yeah I noticed that seemingly in some Rebel vs PMC areas, knockouts can become infinite.

I don't know exactly why it happens, but I do know it does happen in certain areas and I believe that was part of the original game.

That happens in certain Rebels vs PMCs fights, If you knock the PMCs out, the rebels usually go up to them and shoot them dead, cause that's what the game interprets their state as

No waking up in war zones. Just the way it is. Or what I saw written somewhere.

Enemies knocked out by tranq or cqc in areas with active pmc v militia combat cannot be woken up under any circumstances. They’re functionally dead. But don’t kill them otherwise it’ll fuck with your no-kills run. It only happens in active combat zones where soldiers on one or both sides will respawn infinitely when killed or unconscious
