Are some safes bugged in Freelancer ?

[NakKj-]

I've encountered some safes in some specific spots in certain maps where I can only find 2 clues. In Marrakesh when the safe is in the store with the underground tunnel entrance and in Mumbai when the safe is in the train yard. Did this happen to anyone else ?

If I remember correctly, in the train yard, one was in the wagon itself, and the other two were close to the door which faces the queue of people. One was directly next to the door, the other was only a bit farther, close to the right wall when you leave the wagon. It took me a while to find that last one. But yeah, couldn't find the Marrakesh one you're talking about, ended up blowing it up. Not sure if it was bugged, though, or if I just couldn't find it.

In Mumbai I did find the one inside and the other next to the gate that you cross to go to Vanya Sha, but the last one I couldn't find it, and yes in Marrakesh also nothing and had to blow up the safe. The only good thing about it is that there is always a remote mine in the underground tunnel to blow the safe. Also in Marrakesh, when the safe is in that location and already happened to be there for me 2 or 3 times, and never found the last clue, so it might be bugged

The racetrack, I had only two clues, One of which showed the spyglass but couldn't be interacted with (A server)

TBH this game is chock full of bugs. I've lost all my gear in Freelancer twice because of a game crash, And an unfixed FQA bug.

So far all safes I've found, including the ones in mumbai, had all 3 clues somewhat nearby.
Sometimes a clue is in a blind spot.

In mumbai the spot must be very blind because I went all around the nearby zones of the safe and nothing. I even went up the ladders to see it was in the roof part

I had problems finding the third clue for the safe in dubai, at the lowest floor deposit close to the elevator and skydiving exit.
I even checked inside all the deposit boxes, at the large stairs outside, and a floor above.

Happened to me again right now in Ambrose Island. Fond 2 and the 3 nowhere to be found.
Another annoying bug that I get is in the showdowns. When I tag a suspect a non target and then do the same to others, sometimes they appear on the minimap as if I didnt tag them. Tagging ones make others tag disappear and it confuses me as hell

Clues can be hard to spot, because they do not show up through other objects, so it's very easy for them to be blocked by clutter around them, especially if they are on a lower shelf or inside a cubby.

They can also be surprisingly far from where you would expect in a radius around the safe, that includes vertical.

Once you get a feel for the distance and have more practice I don't think any are actually missing, but they are randomly placed and some of the spots are definitely not obvious and require you to be at specific angles to see.

The hardest one I can remember was under a chair two rooms away in one of the houses in whittleton creek when the safe was in the attic, so down a floor, two rooms over and then underneath a piece of furniture that blocked you from seeing it with instinct unless you were at very specific angles.

Don't be afraid to just blow them open if you don't find the clues quickly. A couple of tricks to remember: the loot boxes around the missions often have explosives that you can't bring back anyway, might as well toss them at the safe if you find one. You don't need lethal explosives to get the safe open, you can use anything including concussion, which you rarely have any other use for (other than a few rare bonus objectives)

And the easiest one: fire extinguishers are concussion explosives, you can drop one in front of a safe and shoot it to blow open the safe. They aren't always close to a safe, but there's a lot more of them around the maps than you might expect since they are so rarely used for anything you've probably gotten used to ignoring them.

Yes exactly, I just remember that. The loot boxes have shaman powder and explisove golf balls and when a can't find the 3rd clue, I'll just blow it up

There are times where the third clue isn't anywhere near the area of the safe.

For example in marrakesh the safe was in the area with the guard before the tunnel.

The third clue was tossed in the central market area.

For Mumbai instead i found one time the third clue on the top floor of the train area in the room.

The most troublesome was in ambrose island.

The safe was in cave with all the soldier, only two clues, one was even placed on a random rock and there was 2 pc tricked me because was the one used to disguise.

Explore all above and around, from the cooking area to the ruin area above, killed everyone was boring me, nothing.

I found randomly outside on the house near one of the exit.

Maybe is a bug or intentional, but sometimes the clue can spawn really, really far from the area of the safe.

Eh I don't think it's bugged. I think the codes are probably in a room you haven't checked. Sometimes they spawn in stupid places. In mumbai I have to break open two different doors for a clue each, and it's a public area.

But like they say, the clues are supposed to be near the safe and not in a different area of the map very far away, so it's got to be a bug because that makes no sense at all that I have to run the entire map and happen to randomly stumble on the last clue in some house that is 5 km away of the safe in the opposite side of the map.

[supersand]

just bring a propane flask or fire extingusher and blow it open if its giving you issues, i'm pretty sure every map has at least one

[snK]

Yes sometimes they are bugged, blow em up

I just did Dubai with the safe in the bank boxes at the bottom of the elevator shaft.
Two of the clues were inside a box! Alwlays close by, next room, or as some say, below or above? But yeah, the clue became visible after i removed a gold bar that was hiding it.
