When ambushes occur on the regular (non-instanced) maps of the game, other players may fight them (willingly or otherwise) if they are in range of the spawn.

When ambushes occur on the regular (non-instanced) maps of the game, other players may participate (willingly or otherwise) if they are in combat range of the spawn.
 
If the involved characters move quickly and leave an outdoor ambush behind (accidentally or otherwise), the mob will remain in the area and attack any other characters they spot. Since the mob is scaled to the level of the mission, they may be substantially higher than the usual enemies of that zone. Leaving behind an overly-powerful ambush is considered poor manners Hero-side, but a fine joke Villain-side. On the other hand, it can be friendly to invite other players to a badge-granting ambush, such as the [[Kronos Class Titan]].
