After I got to security level 2, I noticed that in forest there started being not only a ton of enemies, but it was higher level ones. but not any snipers. It was really difficult but the issue is that I did the next TOP mission where you storm the compound and after tide I noticed or at least it felt like the difficulty went down, there were less mimics and very few smg mimics. So it got me thinking that there's some bug that makes it either way to difficult or too easy and I'm not sure which.

In Beta 3, there seem to be several enemy camps with lots of enemies in the initial placement.
The settlement in the middle of the peninsula, the bridge on the south side of the forest, the entrance on the east side of the outskirts, etc.
About five enemies are placed near the mission items, so if the mission markers are close together, it may feel like there are an unusually large number of enemies.
