[V11.3 Ground Combat] Crash when stunning spooky tentacleman

[DaReaperZ]

Description: Straight up crash when using burst fire mode with the electroshock gun to stun the tentacleman.

What happened: I moved up Christopher as the picture shows, then fired a burst to stun the poor tentaleman. He turned around, furious at my attempt to probe his netherrealms, and promptly crashed my game.

Further Information: This might be one of those obvious bugs that are already known, but I couldn't find anything on it. It's easy enough to reproduce, just load up the save, move Christopher and try to three-round burst the thing, it should result in a crash, with a quick flash of a null reference in the error log.

I should also mention, I almost accidentally won this one before being able to capture the Bossman McTentacleboy overhere due to the turn timer for "capturing the area" almost screwing me.

Tested your save and no matter how you kill/stund it, just before it should make the death animation, instead it crashes.

Tried with other weapons, shock batons & frag grenades.

Yup, it would seem that there's no animation for it dying.
