Crew Expendable Airlock Glicth

[Soviet Panda]

When you get to the last part of Crew Expendable (trying to get the Alien into the airlock) I've found it has a a terrible tendancy to not spawn properly; i.e. it spawns once every 10-15 mins and only hangs around for a second before running away.

At first I thought it may be due to it getting scared in the air shafts and then not properly resetting for the last area. Alternatively, I thought that perhaps dying during any previous section of the level may also be the cause. As such, try one or both of these "fixes" to see which works best for you. (Because the Alien respawned in the air shafts AND I survived long enough to get to the airlock section, I don't know if one of these will work or if you need to do both)

1: Don't Die! Yes, I know its hard but it can be done. I've managed to get as far as the airlock section without dying on Hard mode and found the Alien spawns far more often and actually goes into the airlock allowing you the chance to trap it.

2: Wait for the Alien to respawn in the air shafts. This is a hell of a lot easier to do, and is the easiest to escape from. The Alien will almost immediately attack you in the air shafts so scare it off with the flamethrower. Either follow Lamberts instructions (which are actually the fastest way) or find your own way to the end of the air shafts. Once there, DO NOT drop down just yet. Wait for the distinctive sound of the Alien "dropping" into the air shaft and start moving towards you then jump down.

Hopefully, one of these will help you guys finish Crew Expendable, but its such a short DLC you would probably be best doing it on an easier difficulty and speed running it; unless your a real masochist like me ;)
