Happiness for Everyone - Duga compund quest bug

[WOMP WOMP!]

Hello Stalkers,

Is/has anyone else faced a mission breaking bug on the Happiness for Everyone mission when leaving the sewer and climbing the ladder to access the duga compound. I'm being attacked by never ending waves of enemies and take huge amounts of PSI damage. I watched the youtube video below of others completing this mission and the enemies are retreating when they exit the sewer. I've tried to restart from a earlier point of the mission but the issue remains.

for demonstrative purposes its at 17:43 on this video where i face the issue

I am experiencing the same issue. Enemies are waiting around the manhole and kill me instantly when I climb out of it (with half health from psi damage). Can you please provide a support ticket so I can add it? Or should I open a separate one?

I too am experiencing the exact same event when trying to Enter the Duga Compound, enemies are hovering around the exit hole at the top of the ladder, as soon as Skif emerges, bam-bam, either shot dead or dead from psy-attack almost immediately, my health meter still shows signs of life, but down goes Skif. Thanks Womp Womp for submitting a ticket.

Im not trolling but you have to run

Interesting, I was able to get out the hole and run to a nearby shack, but the enemy will not depart, and bam-bam dead again. The videos I've seen have Skif exiting the hole and the enemy is either not there or is running away. Why me???

Hot damn! I made it, just had to run (to the left that is :) Peace Jethro66_not_a_troll.
