Squint Quest failure

[Killomage]

Went to turn in the artifact to Squint and even with a restart of the game it will not let me talk to him to finish the mission =/

I have the same issue. Tried storing the artifact and returning, no luck. Tried redoing the part where I get the artifact, no luck.

Ironically I had done this quest on Gamepass without issues, so I don't really understand what triggered this issue, I'll continue trying to fix it.

Ok I managed to fix it.

Used an auto save to redo the whole mill quest, before speaking to Squint. I made 100% sure no trap is triggered that could hurt him.

Managed to handle the surprise and got the artifact, returned to the Mill and he is speaking to me again..

I hope it helps

Thanks for this, was driving me nuts. Same issue where if you set off a trap he won’t pull his gun out during your first meeting so that’s a giveaway that the mission is bugged. You have to reload and make sure he has his gun out before continuing, otherwise you won’t be able to talk to him later and can only kill him.
