Mrs. Zero gone - General Rank

[tonberry]

I completed the "Save Mrs. Zero" Quest. Her Tent in camp is back again, but she herself is still missing. Where can I get her back to change install items? Or is it a bug?

Mrs Zero is the lady that speaks through the robot at the top of the camp, the mission you want to complete is Clone War.

Most likely you mean physician, you will save it in the following tasks.

false name. got it. but only 3-4 missions left... and still not back at camp to change installs.
hope she gets back before completing the game :(

[It's a me]

Try the pre-last quest with her (secure the area and rescue al team from clonning vats)

[tonberry]

got her back. thanks. but no good dev decision to remove her till pre-last general quest.

[dbugz]

Oh, so that's what brings her back.

At first I thought it was a bug of some sorts that she suddenly vanished from camp without anything being mentioned in the radio dialogues after I had ranked up.

I was so affraid I was punished for farming the Iron muzzle before the endgame in Skyscrapper or a bug but that when I decided to complete meissions - she go back. So much happieness!)

As someone who has defended just about everything about this game (outside of the multiplayer) this decisions is far worse than "no good." It is one of the stupidest design decisions I've ever seen made in a game. It offers absolutely nothing positive to the game.

The mission to rescue Bluebell (have you never used to Tranceiver to call in a first aid kit the whole game to know her name?) is on the initial missions list in General. You can go rescue her right away, and that stage takes all of like 3 minutes. Just saying.

There is nothing that says you need to complete ever mission in order. I believe they mention she's captured in the cutscene after the end of the stage of the boss of the previous rank, and a cursory glance at the mission descriptions was enough for me to know which one to do to get her back.

Not saying it's the greatest choice on the dev's part because it's somewhat unintuitive, but there were ways of knowing which mission to do to save her.
