Game Breaking Bug: Spawning under the map after defeating the guardian in "Powers"

[The Ineffable Qdoggus]

After defeating the Guardian boss during the mission "Powers" for the Mutant Clan, using the breach will teleport the player under the map near the Red Forest where they will fall indefinitely. One can still use fast travel while falling but upon loading into the fast travel point, the mission checkpoint for defeating the guardian is not completed and the player cannot pull out weapons anymore. This bug has stopped me from playing any further until it is patched or I wipe my save and start over. I'm pretty far into the story with some pretty good rolls/skills, so starting over would be regrettable.

Same here. You can teleport but do nothing else.

I just tried again with a much earlier save and there is no way forward. The Boss' name is "Boss Name", enter the anomaly after defeating it and transported under the map in the red Forest, falling forever. I guess I have no choice but to stop play-testing and giving feedback until this game-breaking bug is hunted and squashed. Please tell me, were you all able to replicate this bug? Is there a ticket number associated with it?

Thank you for the save file. Yes, there is a ticket for this issue with ID: 11671. Our team is investigating this problem.

You can try combination: SHIFT+CONTROL+ALT+9 - it worked for some players

Thank you for the suggestion and the update. I did try this as suggested from another thread with the same problem. The only difference with the post-nuke save is that my screen is bloodied, my HP is at zero, and I continue to fall below the map. If I teleport while falling, enemies are no longer hostile towards me, I can no longer reload or switch items. If I switch to a projectile weapon before teleporting, I can shoot, but cannot reload or switch. It's like I'm stuck in a cutscene that never stops.

Maybe this is also relevant, but sometimes when I load my bugged pre-nuke save, I'm stuck about waist high in a tiny patch of land with a flower cart next to me under the map in the Red Forest area.

If you need anything else from me, please don't hesitate to ask. At this point, I cannot play the game anymore until it's patched.

After the update today, I was able to complete the final mission without falling through the terrain. Please tell the dev team I said thank you and great job squashing that bug!
