Do map mods work on syndicate fortitication towers?

Just ripped the character im posting on to a split second when encountering syndicate stronghold in a map.

Was a tier 4 map no damage map mods.

79/79/79 res with 30% chaos res

78/78 block

5.5k hp

I flame dashed into the door to recall minions on top of it and both towers seemed to shoot instantly and i just died.

I haven't a clue how that's possible nothing else has caused my hp bar to move.

When syndicate members spawn do they give any buffs to the tower? Is it possible one spawned and gave an aura to them ?

I think there's some chaos damage involved with those fortification events. Do you know which members were present, some of them have forms of chaos damage, I think it that fled and Tora/aisling or some of the others might from the equipment they get.

Don't know much about it though. Maybe it is because multiple aoe hits or something else like chaining from minions, or corpse explode. Someone else with a bit more knowledge of betrayal can help hopefully.
