PinkEye's horrible wasteland mission in Truck

[TraumaHound]

I finally found out after getting 75% thru the game how to complete this horrible mission that seems gliched through out! I have screen shots of the map and of the location as well as completion! HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK;
You will drive to the launch point. Be prepared to fight off drivers. Make sure you have ammo and a good amount of scrap for instant repair! Once you have breached the (formerly known as the Jaw) way point you will drive the vehicle to the West of GutGash's territory where suddenly after being irritated the blue marker will appear.

It is located to the furthest West point of Cadavanah region!

Calm down good luck and yes I too was screamning at that truck the entire time! LOL

Can't rememeber any trouble on that mission.
Never had to repair, never had to retry.

The trouble with Wasteland Missions in this game is there's no way to track where they are, short of finding the needle-in-a-haystack blue dot manually. Wasteland Mission dots disappear if you zoom out far enough to see the whole map and with no idea where to look, it can be difficult to track them down. I had issues with this mission because I assumed the Great Nothing launch point would be somewhere in the South where the Great Nothing is. Turns out it's somewhere in the West, where apparently the Great Nothing also is. Be nice if those objectives would remain visible on a fully-zoomed-out map along with strongholds. Make them easier to find.

The moment you drive away you get a blue quest dot on the map. Set waypoint.
You arrive at the Jaw, new blue quest dot on the map. Set waypoint.
And besides, they told you they were planning to launch from the west after getting through the Jaw.
So that's one side of the map you had to check.

If you listen to the quest givers, everyone will tell you the general area you need to be.

Thing is, Pinkeye says "The Great Nothing," which is essentially everything to the South, West and a bit to the East.

Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong about quest givers giving you a direction.
I just remember finding the blue dot very easy.
It was the only blue dot on the map at that time, so maybe that's why.
Or I'm just damn lucky.
Never had to wait for it to be a specific time also.
Max just happened to show up when he needed to on my entire playthrough.

If you check the map, you can see that its the little blue dot on the map, also there is no trouble with defending yourself as the truck 1-2 hit destroys with siderams.

I don´t even get the truck. You should be in it after the cut scene, right?! Doesn´t happen in my game.

Then why are you posting in a forum where someone needs help. If you didn't have this problem, you have precisely nothing of substance to add to the discussion. Sorry for this, but these useless replies are getting old.

bit late man....

But hey, look at the bright side: Once you complete that mission, you get to keep this incredibly slow truck that handles poorly and is quite vulnerable to attack!

Having the same issue as the OP. Once you get to the checkpoint it seems like a new blue dot should immediately appear, but doesn't. Maybe you have to take care of all the enemy vehicles first.

You have to wait for your next "Waypoint" This will give you the main target to aim for.

Failed mission, thunderstorm spawned midway...

[Skidtire]

i failed the truck exploded and now the truck hasnt respawned so i could try again, big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fail of a mission

I had trouble with this mission also, since every time I gone trough the Jaw there wasn't a new direction. So this time I stoped after going trough the Jaw to look for help online. I found this thread and as I read it through, OP reminded me I can quick repair, so before I went to the direction OP described I repaired the truck. But after I repaired the truck, the blue dot appeared.
So maybe this is the glitch, if your truck is damaged, the second marker won't appear.
