Can't even get a gun out of the window or shoot on the quest "The Heist"

[pattamus]

Hey everyone.

Just like the title says, i've been struggling hard to figure out why this glitch is occuring. It's at the very end of the heist where you escape in the delamane. I have a good character, a highish level before doing this quest because I kept failing braindance because I couldn't figure out the different levels you have to go into and find all the items then the bot, duh. So im lvl 26, pretty well rounded but pretty much a streetkid shooter.

I have tried going back to the elevator and crafting a pistol (i've heard that's the only or best gun to use), also, I grabbed a lot of pistols off the guards during the quest trying to escape the building. I have like 3 saves in the building, tried all of them, one is before the elevator to the garage, one in the elevator (which I crafted the pistol) and one a bit before that.

I've looked up this problem and other people seem to have it too. I'm running the latest edition on steam, 2.12, no mods. I've heard to get the gun from the penthouse, but I already picked it up apparently because in braindance its called liberty, and I have a liberty. Should I go back and look for this other named gun (can't remember what it's called), go all the way back to braindance?

I'd rather not go that far back, but I must have tried 20 times, the window opens, the drones come but no gun sticks out the window even though I have one equipped. I've tried only having a pistol equipped. I changed the car view from first person to 3rd person prior to this quest, but it puts you right back in first person during the escape, so could that possibly be the problem? I'm getting desperate at this point, if anyone could help, I would so appreciate it! Thanks everyone, and sorry for the long text! Please let me know if this the correct forum to post this in. I already posted in the wrong one once, doh. But I believe this is a glitch so "technical" sounds closest to what my post is about.

Must be frustrating, and sounds like a bug, as long as you have weapons but they don't appear. Not long ago since I did this without problems (v2.11), but it could be the newest patch that has messed up something.

Have you tried adjusting the difficulty setting? Not sure if it would help, but can't think of anything else.

Changing difficulty can be done at any time and takes you to the previous save, and it will reset certain things, if I've understood it correctly.

Good luck!

I will try this, I ran into this problem during 2.11, then today I noticed it upgraded and I was happy that the bug may be gone. I will try switching difficulty, not sure if it can be done in the limo, no parts of my weapons or armor or crafting can be used, but I could do it before the elevator or in it. If I have to, I'll redo the whole heist mission on a different difficulty, I've tried so many crazy things at this point, it's a bug circulating the net for years since launch probably. I don't see what is different about me that I get this now.. It performed perfectly on my new build, 4070 Ti 12gb and i9 11900k overclocked to 5.3ghz. It's on automatic though so if it gets hot , it will clock down. I also put my GPU fan and my case fans up near 95% so it doesn't overheat and cyberpunk has been performing like a charm until this unfortunately. It would suck to get stuck here and never experience buying new cars and all that comes in act 2. :( Thank you for your suggestion!

Any mods installed? I had a mod that didn't allow me to swing my gun wide enough to hit the drones. Drove me crazy until I figured it out...

I admit I had a trainer on, just for minor things, I had even turned it off several times, but finally I restarted the mission, with no trainer, and when I got to the drones I could fire back and with a submachine gun! Still they took a lot of hits, I thought i'd die several times, but I made it first time. What a shock at the ending of act 1 ! I had no idea what was going on, and couldn't save for some time, so I was worried i'd get killed SPOILER: of course I did, partly, then everything became good again, I could turn the trainer back on (cheat happens, they are the best). Since i'm a very casual player who's getting up there in age for the new games and all the stuff that must be done and kept right, it's just becoming too much. So I can only play complex games with a little "help", If I could, I'd play without it.

So a great outcome and thank you for the answers, I may even try mods but after that, i'm scared to mix mods+ trainer! Thanks everyone. So stoked to be in act 2 where I can now buy cars and do so much other things, but with that big threat looming over me now... at least it adds tension to the game.

Hey man...it's your game, so play it the way you want. This game can be very tricky and mods can do some weird things, although they can add to the fun too. Not sure what you mean by a 'trainer' though... In any case, I'm glad we got it figured out.
