During the very beginning of the third mission in the campaign, titled Fractured Jaw, your controller may begin flashing and automatically disconnect itself.

Then plug the USB charging cable provided with your PS4 into both the console and the controller.

Next, on the PS4 home screen, select Settings, then Devices, and finally Controllers. You'll then want to select the bottom option named Communication Method. Change the selection to Use USB Cable.
