No it's still bugged from what i gathered through discord all day you can shoot through the bunker door (across from the double locked door your talking about) and hit the guard who is down stairs stuck in aggro mode (which keeps all the doors locked) and then run away or quick reload after saving to de aggro them at which point the doors will be unlocked so you can start the quest, but either way there is another bug where gaffer and the guard walk from the bunker to the ward building and die instantly when touching the door way. So its best to just wait for the patch hopefully tomorrow/in a few hours that may or may not drop i was looking at steam db for submitted patches

It's REALLY bad. Nothing in that mission goes correctly. Hamster dies automatically, the town dies no matter what, and after all of it fails, Gaffer both congratulates you and says you saved the town and then says you shot your own people and to never come back. The town is dead after that too. I can't believe they released this crap.

Install UETools mod https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/64?tab=description
Ingame press F10 or ~, type UETools_Ghost to turn on noclip, do what you need to do in the building, get out, type UETools_Walk to turn it off
I got doors unlocked after killing scouts on the hill sidequest

Guys, I got through my quest with everyone but hampster, poor guy and ricochet always drop dead after walking to the main building for me still, but If you do the defence, you need to walk around the town when they say they are getting attacked. Had multiple waves stuck at different areas of town after I cleared everything I got a call from Gaf that was different than any I had heard. Town is all good for me except for hampster.

I was actually able to complete the quest today and move on from it with Zalissya still standing. So I do believe they fixed it. I remember when I tried it yesterday after the initial patch this same thing was happening. I walked away and looked around town any loot I missed and came back and it was unlocked. The quest is actually fixed (other than hamster still dying from a deathwall at the townhall for some reason) but it still obviously doesn't play out as the developers intended I believe. Again, sorry you are still experiencing troubles with the quest and hopefully the devs iron out the rest soon, if not you have the quest work for you.

edit: I also stuck around after the final assault just to make sure Zalissya was safe. When I left I finally heard the Zalissya is all safe message from Gaffer.

And hampster is dying anyway. When he opens doors to a shelter, or when i complete his part of sidequest

I was heading to the Chemical Plant with the emitter from An Invisible Threat quest and heard the call from Gaffer. When I entered the town it was deserted and the town hall door was locked. I could hear shooting but saw nothing, so I continued on to the Chemical Plant. After leaving the town I heard Gaffer saying not to come back since there was only death in the town. When I came back following the next mission the door was unlocked and Gaffer's corpse was inside. My bed and Stash box were inside the town hall. I never actually received a 'defend the town mission' and nothing shows as failed. I assume the whole thing is optional and it doesn't matter whether you save the town or not. Maybe it depends on who you side with. I went with the Ward on this playthrough so why would the Loners ask me for help? Just a guess.

door was locked due to a bug, There were npcs inside, and quest in town that asks you to help to defend it. I guess quest stands until you leave the area, then gg for town. I came through a locked door with mod and noclip

I didnt even get to do the quest, I get 3 radio messages as I run towards zalissya. "Zalissya needs help" followed IMMEADIATLY by "monolith is here" followed by "zalissya" has fallen.

Didnt even make it into the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ zone, hear that as i cross the bride.

Seems the stalker 2 devs are like Owlcat, you need to wait a year after release to play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.
