Malachite Safe Zone is bugged

[󠀡󠀡]

DO NOT READ IF YOU DIDN'T ARRIVE HERE IT MAY BE SPOILERS

After a huge mission in the game, main quest, the malachite safe zone is attacked, realistically speaking no one should be inside and the base not be operative anymore right?

The doors are locked from outside, HOWEVER, if you ask a guide to bring you to MALACHITE, it spawns you inside the safe zone building which I said before was previously locked after some main events in the main quest... You become soft locked in this safe zone, not really, you can ask the guide from MALACHITE to go somewhere else, however, this is so stupid.

In order to get to the north of the map you gotta walk 4-3km instead to just ask a guide, however, the guide just spawns you inside the locked MALACHITE safe zone, which is locked, so YOU CAN'T GET OUT LMAO.

Why couldn't they put a spawn that was OUTSIDE the building? SMH...

Someone else noticed this? Or is my game that is bugged?

Also, to point out that the MALACHITE safe zone icons, traders, medic etc. are RED, why??.. I never seen that.

If they are gone, they should just disappear, like another safe zone that got attacked previously in the main quest...

Thank you for reading

Also, to ADD, that when you get inside the MALACHITE safe zone, inside the building, via the guide, everyone is still there, trader, guide, except the medic.

And no, I didn't piss off anyone from the MALACHITE safe zone, I believe it's just glitched.

Bro, you just need to find special pass card. Drops from zombies. BUT, if u didn’t have a guy, whom u can offer 2000 for entering. Just get back to ur save after crashing institute, and make with lodochka quest first. Because after completing malachite quest, u need to find richter, but it was bugged to me. Decision - restart from institute

you can get out through the sewers

how??

Theres a door right next to the locked one i believe. I forget where exactly but its very xlose to the front door

Be warned that the ward may have bugged npcs outside. One of them is sometimes invincible

[󠀡󠀡]

I think that door brings to the elevator!!


Yes it works and I can go down where me and Scar meet the C-conciouscness... but there is still no way out!


I'm sorry but I can't test anymore because I finished the game.

However, I think this safe zone comes to be bugged because of the decision I made in game, so the Ward doesn't like me anymore and I can't enter and stuff.

I just think that the Malachite guide should bring you outside the Malachite safe zone! To allow contunuity with the game.

Also if you approach Malachite from the outside, it will be filled with multiple immortal soldiers. I shot one soldier with 10+ revolver headshots, multiple spas12 headshots at close range and he was still alive.

Not immortal, just a huge HP pool, for some reason. Took me like 30-40 headshots from the revolver with AP rounds.

Had the same issue on Zalissya, I got back after it got destroyed (had to reload and use UETools to complete in normally though) and there was an NPC who ate two full mags from The Spitter into his head, but in both cases, they were not immortal.

My issue is that Malachite scientists for some reason turned red after that defend mission. Don't think I shot any bugged guards because I used a revolver and a sniper rifle to accurately land headshots on the Ward troops. Very strange.

[󠀡󠀡]

I also had that too, they get a red icon, meaning something messed up, but if you follow the story line, that makes sense, they don't like you anymore based on your choices.

What doesn't make sense is why the guide keeps teleporting you there after your decision, they should change the spawns, that's what I was saying at the end of the day- just, so many things that may not add up story wise and quest wise!

Game needs some patching, but I've been enjoying it so far, the story is really good.

It gave me a sense of "freedom"

[Corporal Jack Stoner]

What choices? Killing Wards? That should increase the reputation instead. They don't really like Ward, they don't hate them as much as Spark does, but they're still unlikable to them.

Also, in one of the side quests, giving the flash drive to Ward instead of Malachite actually increases your reputations with Malachite, despite Victoria being angry with you. The reputation checks are broken in multiple occasions.

I think this isn't bugged, just weird? You can hear over the radio that Malachite is "closed". With Ozersky gone courtesy of Scar, Dr. Dorozhnyuk is in charge, and she talks about how she's now using Ward as security. The scientists don't care, but you pay higher rates because they're unfriendly. Go outside (through the tunnel) and Ward will light you up.

Basically this seems like a way for the game to have STC Malachite change hands narratively, but not screw you out of a critical fast travel point (off in the corner of the map). You also don't lose access to Dr. Dorozhnyuk's shop and the science suits she sells.

Now if we're retaining fast travel points in map corners, I'd love to know why my newbie village has no services suddenly.

[GuiltySpark]

Ugh, so I'm learning about this now. I managed to get out and back in through the tunnels but the guide is red and won't talk to me. Sick, guess i'm going for a run.

Closed door right before any NPCs, went there right after leaving the Lesser Zone, started a new game, went there right after leaving Lesser Zone again and the door wasn't blocked, everything just fine :/
