main quest bug - "legends of the zone"

[BillyZane876]

I just reported this one, pretty rare but annoying as hell.
So, you are off to meet with Dark at his base. You enter the base, you get the sub-mission "Kill the mercs" and, during the fight, there's an emission.
After I killed all the mercs I started looting them and received the notification about the end of the emission. Great. But the door to Dark was still locked and the sub-mission was not complete even if all mercs were dead.

Loading a save game from before helps in the sense that you can:
a) wait the emission to occur before going to Dark's base (did not test this)
b) go quickly with killing the mercs so you get to talk to Dark before the emission starts

Note that I only suspect the emission is of fault here, it could be that the mission is bugged for other reason as well.

Same issue but without the emission it just still says kill the mercs

[BillyZane876]

Thanks for the confirmation that the emission was purely a coincidence in my case!

@BillyZane876

Experienced the same issue. As I started fighting the Mercs, an Emission occured.
The Kill the Mercs objective did not update, although I had killed all Mercs.
Loaded an earlier save, waited until the Emission was over, headed to the base. Had no problems to finish the objective then.

Problem is one of the guys spawns in the wall. Kill him and you're golden.

I have the same issue of there being a single merc that spawns in the wall. Its tricky to get him to clip more than his barrel through the wall. And when a hand does clip through the wall its only exposed for half a second window to shoot him.

I had to use the UETools_Ghost command to hunt down the last mercenary outside the map

I will post just in case this happens to anyone else. I was on Xbox (series x) and could not clip through with commands. Yes I know this is steam forum but not many places are talking about this bug yet. I had the same issue where it said I didn't kill all mercs and the door would not open. I tried looking for a gun barrel or hand clipping through the wall with no luck. The fix I found was to load a save where I was about 500m away from tunnel camp. This was after talking to Sidorovich. No emissions happened before, during, or after. I ran straight to tunnel camp and before even entering the camp I shot the two mercs guarding the door instead of talking to them. Then run through and kill the mercs as fast as you can. Do not loot until after all mercs are killed and the door opens. I believe your point B of quickly killing the mercs is the key. Hope this helps!

I need help I don't have a previous save file, had the corrupted save file bug where it wouldn't let me save. I do not know what to do to get past this, just wait for a patch? Idk but it's super annoying I just wanna get past this and play the game. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Im having an issue with mercs as well, behind a locked door.

Same issue w/o emissions on PC.
Reload old save, no dialog and killing all mercenaries as fast as possible.
Finaly, Dark appears.

Same. I just reloaded a mid-battle save and plowed through the rest - voilà, Dark.

Can you describe which is the wall that has the guy stuck? I had the issue and really don't want to fight again.

[General Weaknesso]

Load save before entrance and then go for killing everyone without dialog near the door. Helped for me.

I had the same problem and this fixed it for me, just had to shoot to the wall in order to kill him.
