Mission 4 War Factory

[SenecaAthena]

Find the Kraken shipping manifest
Vault is empty. Bummer. Restart

Sabotage The Smelting Vat
Empty vat smashes into side with no effect. Bummer. Restart

Really? Is suspect now the Steelwork controls suddenly fail to be sabotaged? Am I not supposed to advance to mission 5? Wonky. VEEERY wonky.

For those of you who want to try the tip from Strigo you could see this Youtube video
(Radbrad). 2 Guys talking is probably about 10,13 in the video.

Don't skip ANY cut scenes anywhere from start of mission to the end, after restarting War Factory 3 or 4 times that was finally what let me complete the objectives and move on to mission 5

FYI I am having the same issue. When I attempt to sabatoge both the optional and primary objectives nothing happens. Having to start over from scratch....Yay. /S

i tried all available suggestions, but the damn vat still stops halfway!!!

Sorry to hear some are experiencing issues. The team is looking into this as we speak. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the update Tommy, Charlie replied today saying the team are aware and looking into it. I've permanently deleted it from my steam library and gone back to SE4 as it is more of a sniping and open world, which is what makes games fun for me. I should also point out that The rat trap officer was stuck behind the chair and could not leave the office.

SE5, is not a bad game, it's not an epic game, it is not a great game (for sniping)... it is a good game, 7/10 (not sure it is a sniping game though :) ) The 10 hours I played shows potential for SE6 to be an epic game so I will look forward to that and hope it is more like sniper ghost warrior contracts 2 with a lot of sniping. I need my sniping fix :)

Just ran into this issue with the vat today. Tried reloading to a prior save a few times to no avail.

Please do: it's ruddy annoying to apparently complete everything in the mission, waltz down to the exfiltration point, hit 'E', then.... nothing.

Thank you!

Same happened to me, In the side quest released the crane, it played the cutscene but the mission status stayed same. Then in the same mission "Destroy the Smelter" objective I first turned the valve and then turned off heat panel, which didn't trigger anything and now I'm stuck. The mission never told me that you have to do it in a order! Kindly fix these game breaking bugs man! I don't want to start all over!

This is happening to me as well on Xbox. Really annoying.

This bug renders the game unplayable. I'm not OCD enough to re-play this mission more than the twice I already have. Off to review the game.

This was the last objective I did and I was able to get it to work by going to a previous save outside the building with the vat. I entered from the south and binocular'd in on the two enemies next to the vat switch and listened to their entire conversation about the vat being repaired. After that it worked for me, so I think missing this convo is what glitches it as I'd missed it the first time.

Before I went back to the previous save it seemed like it was somehow tied to the Vampir Jager up there, as I could pull the switch over and over and nothing would happen until after I killed him and took the armory key off his body. When I had that and pulled the switch the bugged/broken cut scene would run and I couldn't progress any more. No idea. Anyway, that's all I've got. Good luck, all.

Aaaaand now I can't exfiltrate. Hit 'E' to leave, the truck vanishes and I'm stuck. Is there a level skip cheat or something?

[OP3NGL]

is there a way to totally skip mission 4?

[Strigoi1958]

The only way I found was to delete SE5 permanently from my steam library but I do not advise that. The patch will be out soon, the devs will prioritise it and they have added it to their known bugs
