GDF Ancient Basin missing secondary objectives

[Zumbo Prime]

Title says it all. Gone through the mission a couple times, explored the entire map with aircraft, and somehow missing several secondary objectives. Wiki says something about capturing a radar station and rescuing prisoners, but it never came up. Any thoughts?

Did you destroyed the Radar Station before reaching that part?

I cleaned the map before using the scientist for get the base but left a few things for capture, including the needed radar.

I found the radar with 3 power plants south west where you have to build your base. You only get the Prison mission after you captured the radar.

If you destroy the radar before you send your researchers into the temple, you can't do the three secondary objectives tied to it.

If you didn't destroy it early, I talked about this in more detail in another comment and someone replied to say that the objective should start when the researchers enter the temple, but in my case this didn't trigger the secondary objective. It triggered for me when the researchers exited the temple and so I had to do the three secondary objectives quickly within the 3 minute evacuation timer!

I think the triggering for this chain of three secondary objectives is a bit buggy. Save before you send the researchers into the temple and if by the time your base is up and running and it hasn't triggered, load the save and try again.

Thanks, will try again.

ahhh that makes sense. I just finished the mission and saw the same missing objectives. I was kinda mad because I was moments away from taking care of the other tib harvester, but it wouldn't have gotten me the achievement anyway.

PS: Anybody get something weird at the escape route for the scientists? I airlifted them to that spot, I lost battle control as the mission ended, and then a huge force of Nod heavies rolled right into that spot with the scientists standing there from off-map. The game said something about a nuke and I think I saw a missile launcher with them.

That's the end of the mission. The timer at the end is how long until the nuke shows up.

Yeah but what I am saying is that the extraction point for the scientists (with the NPC helo) is the same spot where those NOD forces roll in, so they were fighting with my guys right as the mission ended. Seems like dumb placement for the extraction point.
