Won't let me complete mission: "Thinking with Anomalys" which is a "security up" level (to level 3)

[WetPavement]

I've been playing since the game came out a few days ago and got to level 2 quickly (surprised me after reading other people saying how long it takes) I started the Mission, "Thinking with Anomalys" where you have to collect 3 different artifacts is a certain area in the forest with a bunch of portals. I did all prior requirements to reach the place with all the portals but there are no artifacts other than the "inert" (Don't count) ones. There was one the first time I reached the area and now there isn't any. I've restarted my game, PC, reverted back to older saves etc. Can't find anything online regarding this or if Sec. Level 3 is ever achievable. Pls let me know if you have any info what so ever. Thank you <3

same i even wiped my save slot and started over and its still bugged up until the portal mission for security level 2, I wish i would enjoy the cool guns.

So I fixed it on my end now. I went back to base and terminated the mission then took it again. I had about 11 hours until the tide hit so I legged it like a mad man though all the portals again (made a save before entering the one at the house) and I got them all, also found out they have random spawn points within the portal maze so make sure to not just check the same spots. Now the proud owner of sec level 2 crap (spent over 10k upgrading all my gear).
I also went back to test my sanity and tried saving and loading while at the maze and it bugged out again so needs patching.
Hope this helps some people. I see the bug report forum already has good description of the problem so lets hope for patch soon.

After trial and error over and over again I finally got all three. The bug in the game applies to all artifact hunting missions and is as follows:

If you pick up an artifact designed for the mission and then die and load or just load prior to saving it, the artifact is no longer in the location to be attained and it is no longer in your possession as well. You are locked out of completing the mission until you terminate and restart the entire process for the hunt again.

It's obviously extra noticeable in the mission "Thinking With Anomalies" because you are required to get 3 while at the same time survive some relatively challenging platforming sections.

I hope they fix it.

I had to redo the mission many times to get to level 3, but I made it!
What I tried at that time was to re-take the mission many times and the other thing I did was
I collected some regular artifacts before warping. After doing this, when I went to warp to find the last three artifacts, I found the three artifacts!

Mission was fine for me. Fell a few times, but got all the artifacts. Dunno.

[Sniür]

Only one of the artifacts spawned for me as well. I'm really not motivated enough to try it again tbh. Will probably just wait for a patch instead.

Today I finish this quest and it was fun. I had the same bug after every save reload, artifacts disappear. For me reload save repair everything. Try loading save before first portal that when you need to go on the roof. After that its really easy, artifacts is almost one after the other. 2 artifacts in jars and one in this leathery thing that have open one side. You need to finish this in one run, no save no reload.

Only got one Special Artifact at the last location, cleared all the previous areas and there was no special artifacts except for the last one after the roof teleport.

Reverted back to the previous quest and finished it a 25/30 quest, then tried again and didn't save or load until i had all artifacts and it worked.

Stuck with the same thing. I have two of the three, slept a few times/few tides, nothing but inert artifacts spawn there now. I'm not loading a previous save because I got bored of trying to find it and went exploring, brought home enough ♥♥♥♥ to buy basically everything I can at Security Level 1. Going to try the abort mission thing and give it another whirl, but I am honestly tired of this mission at this point. I've spent an inordinate amount of time jumping through stupid portals in that one spot trying to complete the mission, and it's making me want to go back to ITR1.
