Anyone know any tricks for the weather station laser grid being bugged?

[Arndell]

I understand it's been bugged since the map expansion came out, while looking it up I found reddit posts from 11 days ago.

It might be months / years / never for this to be fixed same as the Raider version of the Vault 79 quest.

The only thing I have seen is to keep relogging to swap servers until you can pass and that it will randomly not let you in at any point in the quest line where you need to go back through it.

I have done 3 restarts and not got in yet, I understand it will eventually work, but it sounds like it's going to be extremely frustrating every time i need to come back here.


Any weird quirks? a special hat you can wear, and emote you can use, a sacrifice to Mothman?

This should work fine for your issue :
NoDoors : Lets you go through all doors that are in generally useful areas, like westek or silos, and so forth.

May be considered cheating for some ... as you wish.

Yeah, it's against the ToS. I would not recommend using this. If you need to get through a door/grid and it won't open, I suggest not using exploits and "noclip" mods that could jeopardize your account. I'm aware that people some and claim they've experienced no issues, but do you wanna risk it?

I did use it for a few bugs, no trouble ever, checked ToS didn't find any info saying this will get you banned.
As long as you don't get devroom items and pvp cheats, you won't get no harm.

I see, I think I would still prefer the restart until it works method for now I got in after 5 times. Not because i care about it being considered cheating, just that one day there might be some update that checks for mods of any kind and i'll forget I had any and wonder why I got flagged.

Knowing that mod exists has taught me how people seem to spam nukes 2-3 minutes apart though, they are just sprinting to the console lol

There's already a mod check, has been for years. They just don't ban for mods and considering the 76 section on Nexus has 7M downloads I don't see them ever banning for mod use because that's a lot of people to alienate. When nuclear winter was still a thing the mod check would boot you back to main menu if you tried to play NW with any mods installed, and occasionally when you have a bad internet connection the mod check will still flag you erroneously when joining adventure mode even though it's not supposed to check for that mode, and when that error occurs it happens even if you have no mods installed, so likely every single PC account has been flagged for mods at some point whether they run any or not.

I've got over 3K hours in this with mods since 2018 btw.

I went back to the startscreen and loaded back in and i could pass just fine.
So that is worth a try.
