Where is T McNeil the Veterinarian??
My last obj is to find him/her. Say take back to ARC but where tf is this person lol ? I have a feeling it is in the mine shaft where the Queen was.I had to hoof it out of there due to the massive swarm I had and two Marines down.

In case you haven't had to carry somebody unconscious - The marine doing it is restricted to their sidearm and cannot run. Either be sneaky, or be ready to put them down in a relatively safe spot very quickly so you can gun down Aliens and then pick them back up to move again.

Yup she was in the mine shaft where I dropped her. Fortunately she was close to the bridge. Thanks for the reply !

You know I wonder if the Medic perk can make it so you don't need to carry an unconcious NPC out. I mean it is unlike to have the Medic perk on mission 1 unless you stayed at mission 1 way too long. Would be an interesting detail.

I did wonder why the mission objective marks the ARC, instead of the unconscious vet ? It's not like we can't see the ARC whenever we want...Had to do a couple of runs to find her again after dropping. Think it was during that second Charger attack on the way out... Got real confusing for a while lol...

Yeah that second Charger came at the worst time for me. Right after killing the Queen. I had a onslaught , face huggers , then that Charger comes running. I was like fml. I guess it makes sense when you kill a hives Queen lol.

My squad put her down in the elevator to defend the area. Then I failed to pick her back up before taking the elevator back up. When I got to the ground floor...she had vanished.

Gone back several times. There's no way to get her because she's not there. Gone back to where I originally found her and she's not there. Can't progress without her.

It appears I've soft-locked my game :(

oof. Did you try loading the save prior ?

I screwed myself by trying to go back so many times thinking that I dropped her somewhere. Every time I did it created another autosave or two. By the time I realized what was going on, the autosave from before I picked her up had been overwritten.

I just gave up and have started over. I just wish you could skip all that tutorial missions in the beginning so tedious...

I agree. I think they'll fix that for sure. I really hope they add more to the game. Preferably procedural maps and/or a campaign map where it is a tug o war with the hives.
