[BUG] Facing the Beast mission

[Mekzs]

Im on the obj where you have to grab a welder to open up the hangar bay door to go after Becker, however after i grab the welder the door still says i need a welder to break it, ive tried reloading, restarting, and am now verifying the files so fingers crossed. Anyone come across this bug yet?

Hey, I do not reminder by heart the trigger here, but we fixed it. Will be soon deployed in a patch. Try to start over the sequence just before where your lure the Alien and it should work.

Also having that problem. Oof. Looking forward to the upcoming patch.

[SekirBoshka]

found a solution to the problem, you need to ignore the terminal with cameras and immediately take the welding machine

I also found another issue and this was the fix for my progression which led into another issue in the following mission. I had to redo the whole stealth segment but in one go instead of any saves. For some reason reloading from a save puts the quest progression back to being the pheromone placement even though you're long past it and then the welder doesn't appear in your characters inventory upon interacting. However, if you don't die and you go through the whole segment in one shot without reloading then it appears. Happened to me twice and the third rerun of it from scratch with no loads fixed it.

If you fixed this bug, why isn't it in the hotfix? Second time that I play this mission, this time with the hotfix and it's still broken.

It's really annoying trying to do it without the cameras.

Edit: Nevermind, this mission is now just straight-up broken after the hotfix, whether you use the camera or not. I picked up the welder and still can't unweld the door. :/

Yup, this mission is now completely busted after the hotfix. :/ SekirBoshka's trick no longer works.

So much for "we fixed it".

The dev's solution doesn't help either, because the last save I had before starting this stealth mission was before the mission where I went to get Marlow. For some obscure reason the devs didn't make a save at the end of that mission. All of safe room saves from that level are mysteriously gone. That's 30-45 minutes of progress completely lost and it's not even assured that I won't just run into the bug again.

I just did it by reloading twice back (into the hypersleep room with the distraction) and then ignored the camera console. That did it for me.

[Heistro^]

I can't deploy the chemical in the containment room. Any help?

yeah had to replay that mission too.
ended that game, did something else, and when i reloaded i had to go back to get the welder and then it worked.

Hey! I played this game prior to all the fixes on launch and completed it all woo hoo! - I however encountered this bug because the Alien caught me out just before the end. The bug is, the game THINKS your still back at the first objective where you need to get the alien into the room to trigger the fire. The only fix I had was to reload a save from the previous mission, and complete it again without being caught. A pain but it did work. Hopefully that helps others? :)

Same problem here. Hope they fix it in the next patch.

Yeah, I ended up getting past it by reloading that save too. Took me 4 tries, but it worked on the 4th.

Same problem. Doing the whole welder thing without checking the cameras did work for me.

[PlunderingPanda]

Just wanted to pop in and say this is still an issue.

I have no idea how such a campaign-breaking bug got through any serious professional playtesting. Unless, of course, proper playtesting was never done (shocking!)

I found that reloading the most recent autosave and NOT using the cameras (thank to suggestions above) allowed me to unweld the door. I did NOT have to go all the way back to the pheromone trap and replay from there, as was mentioned by some others.

[Pvt. Hudson]

Damn... I'm having the same issue. Guess I won't be playing anymore this weekend.

*EDIT* was able to complete it after loading a couple more times.

Now I see some wonky bugs in the following mission. Theres a warehouse I should open the gates for the APC to pass through but can't seem to find a way to do that.
