Bring weapon to final team unit

[jkcarrier]

I'm at the part where you're running around in a multi-level office building/warehouse, with Resistance soldiers spawning all over the place. My squad are all dead. There's an objective on the screen that says "Bring weapon to final team unit", but I don't understand what that means. What weapon? Bring it where? Can someone explain what exactly I'm supposed to be doing?

Did you blow up the wall that leads to the bloodied-up soldier with the back part of his helmet missing?

I blew up a wall at some point, but I don't remember seeing anyone on the other side. But I've died and reloaded on this level so many times, I'm not sure where I am anymore...

At the top of the staircase and down the corridor there's a boarded up room with a projector and an audio box with a wall that prompts you to use a SLAM to destroy it. Inside is an unarmed soldier that's been trapped in there. Once his little sequence finishes playing the game prompts you to find him a gun and give it to him (highlighted in red). It sounds like this has been triggered somehow.

Ok, I went back to an older save, and this time I was able to find the guy and hand him the gun. He got killed a few minutes later. Do I need to keep him alive in order to finish the level? I haven't had much trouble with the game up to this point, but this level has got me really confused.

If you manage to keep him alive and continue on the story until you are separated by the game, he will escape the place alive with a special dialogue on the comms. You will see him again to fight for you in the last chapter of the story and get an achievement. Btw the name of that guy is "Scar Zero", hope this help you.

I should probably reload and try to keep him alive, but after wandering around this level for what seems like hours, I'm ready to move on. Thanks for your help.

There's no need to keep him alive, he's a completely optional ally.

Hey since a developer is here, I blew open that wall in my first playthrough and Scar was dead on the ground. I just thought the Resistance had finally killed the Combine they captured, so I didn't think much of it, but I am guessing that's a bug.

There's a rare occurrence where he can be killed by a prop being hurled by an explosion outside of the room.

I had this happen to me!

Well, the first time he was alive, but it wasn't clear how to give him the give so I "dropped" it on him and then it was just at his feet and wouldn't let me pick it up.

The 2nd time, the explosion seemed to kill him.

I'm currently trapped in the crawlspace deal, after you get the video interface w/ 3650. There's some headcrabs, but I don't see the way out.

BTW, this is awesome. :)

What is supposed to happen? I find the guy and there are just infinite waves of enemies spawning.

Where am I going?

[Jim Lahey]

I had this happen with me as well. I brought the red outlined gun to the unarmed Combine soldier and it didn't work, also I couldn't pick the gun up to try again because it was so close to him. I reloaded my save and I couldn't pick up the red outlined gun at all. I tried a third time and I was finally able to bring him the gun and arm him with it.

This is an incredibly well made mod, but this aspect of it seems problematic.

After giving Scar Zero the intended gun, there was a popup message about "higher cognitive units can reassign weapons" or something. I found a stray MP5K and tried giving it to Scar through any key I could imagine, but he just kept that pistol. What's going on there?

The 1.1 update improves this behaviour :)
