Softlocked in ironman mode.

[Sharcc]

I died in ironman mode while doing the level 4 bomb mission in pobeda - you know, THAT mission. The one that throws massively overpowered enemies at you when you're very underequipped for no good reason. Yeah, anyways, I died in a narrow hallway, and as a result the bomb which was necessary to complete the mission got ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stuck out of bounds, and I cannot grab it, softlocking me. I can't reload a save either, because it's ironman mode and it saves automatically when you die.

This was meant to be in the bug topic, oops.
More importantly, aborting and restarting the mission respawns the bomb, but this should not be necessary. I still lost all my ammo boxes and half of my healing items (Which nearly killed me as a result.) PLEASE fix the way items drop on death. Maybe they could be in a backpack which when you pick up merges with your current one?

By that mission you should have enough money for AP ammo, and factory does spawn akm and ak74 in crates. The first factory run for me was tricky mind as I only had an gsh-18 lol

You are as under equipped as you let yourself be.
Nothing is preventing you from grinding mission in easier areas to buy better equipment.

isn't the point of ironman mode so if you die - it's OVER for good? No checkpoints, no continues, no loadings?

The issue wasn't my lack of equipment, it was the fact that the bomb which was literally MANDATORY TO COMPELTE THE MISSION got stuck in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wall.

And no, you are meant to be able to continue, you just have to go back and get your stuff. That's why it autosaves on death.

so, what happens if you continue and then die again while not taking back your items?
I've never chose "continue", playing ITR like any stalker games. Death->load

Your stuff stays there until you get it. Forever. (unless it is glitched through a wall or the ground)

Oh yeah, that part. You kind of *can't* gear up well because you're only sec level 3 when you're sent out to it.

umm, so what's even the difference between ironmode, and the normal mode? :V

No saving, or loading. The game autosaves regularly, and saves on exit, to prevent lost progress. If you die, you have to go back to base and return to your body to get your items instead of just reloading an old save. (There is only 1 autosave slot in ironman mode.)

k, thanks for clearing this out. I thought the ironmode was made as in other games (death -> all progress wiped out)

At level 3, you can buy armour and ak74, M4 and aug. That's all you need going forward to take the factory with ease. If you haven't got the money, you either grind more or go in underequipped and hope for a lucky stash find. Like I say, I did this mission with just a gsh18 and I only had 1 mag of mixed +p and ap load plus a sawn off with buckshot. Was a challenge, but one of my own making because I have decided to do a no shop run. I found 2 Beretta m9 on that run, then the next time I visited factory after a tide I found an ak74 and a mosin, which I am still using right to the end game

But yeah, your bug report about the bomb glitching out of bounds still stands, just got unlucky when you died. You can respawn bomb if need be so it's not a fully game breaking bug just areally annoying one
