Survive the Cursher?

[BEAR]

Crusher on first mission came at me, I did not kill it and left with one squad member alive and came back on the next deployment to find the crusher, Now its just says its location is undefined and i can not find the crusher to kill?

[TeaTowel]

bump, I have this bug too

[leecming]

bump same

[Zkythen]

I also have this issue, unfortunately. I returned to find a stash of resources, but found out about smugglers on a datapad on a body and got no updated objective. It just says survive the crusher now, even on a third deployment.

Makes me glad I had APC to the work to kill it. Took about 16 tries though lol.

playing on hard and it was on hard response

you have to get to get to medium difficulty to have a crusher spawn in (found out on 2nd play-trough) sadly it can be a soft lock and you need to start a new campaign and kill it when it spawns it get past that objective

Fix for me was to reload the save before you accept the data pad in the container and go re arm at the ortego then come back and kill the crusher.

if you're not playing on ironman mode (w/e it's called in this game), you should have several autosaves before that point you can load. find a save before that point if you can, and make sure marines are rested up before the fight. pre positioning a sentry before activating the cutscene helps alot

So weld the door behind you shut after you enter, that will force everything to come through the door the boss enters from because the game uses adaptive spawns in this scenario. I beat the boss and the horde that came through without the Sentry Gun last night because I didn't know it could be repositioned, but one of my guys was crippled and moving at the slowest speed possible.

I didn't have any problems with the boss, shotgun eats up like half his health on a good hit, but that crippled squad member absolutely killed my joy and I couldn't get him from the computer back to the elevator alive in the final part of the first mission. He either died or got abducted every time. Didn't help I was down to all pistols at that point either.

Could always drop down to story to get a hang of the mechanics then come back later for a higher difficulty run.

missions save progress so if you really need to you can extract back to base to come back with a fresh squad. keep in mind if you loot more ammo than the base amount you start with you'll lose that.

Hey is this going to be fixed? I've spent 5 hours trawling through that first missions over a few deployments only to get stuck trying to survive a crusher, who doesn't seem to be there? I have a kid- so 5 hours is an eternity of play time for me- cannot just restart? Was hoping to see this in the patch that just went out :( Are there plans to fix this?

in 5 hours you would have been 2 times through that level Oo

Well its been 5.7 hours and I've not been through it once- I didn't realised there was a prescribed play style that everyone has to stick to? If I want to go through and explore all the rooms to find all the pick ups- is that not allowed?
