Burrowed Menace Causes Game Freeze and Audio Glitches in Levels

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter game with glypid menace in spawn pool
2. Dont kill the menace and let it burrow
3. After a while, i notice the mance sound playing and burrow animation but the glyphid menace never pop out

Explanation

This issue happen in levels where the glyphid menace spawn in, if i failed to kill it immediately it will burrow into the environment like walls or celling. Afterward i continue in the level and notice that the audio for the menace is playing and encounter the burrow animation for enemy spawning but nothing happen. All of this while i cant interact with any ingame item like the Mule, Resupply pod or stand on ally building like Refinery floor, Point Extraction platform or even enter the Drop pod to end the level. Also, enemies cant be damage during this time aside from explosive like c4 or pickaxe power attack. enemy range attack also cant damage the player charater but melee attack still can. Sometimes the glitch will temporary stop and the game is normal for while. I believe this happen when the menace is able to burrow out properly but i cant confirm because i cant see the menace around the cave. Killing the glyphid menace does seem to stop glitch but it can happen again wether this is due to the original one or a new one spawn is unclear.
