Blackmaws Minefield bugged?
So I've completely cleared out the Blackmaws area except for one minefield, right above the M on the map . At least I think it's there. I can't see it and the dog is going crazy, but nothing shows up. I can circle where a mine should be and the dog shifts accordingly, but no mines ever appear.

Has anyone seen this? I'd love to find out this is story mission dependent and not a bug.

The first minefield is on the east side of the map just north of the balloon. The second minefield is about halfway between the Broken Pipes Death Run in the SW corner and the C in BlaCkmaws on the map. It's just NW from the 3 way intersection.

I am having the same problem, im on ps4. At the minefield under Gasworks, gotten two of the mines, dog is going mad pointing out the third but it is not showing up. i ran and drove over where i thought they are but nothing.

I had the dog go nuts at one point where there was clearly not a minefield. There was a building there. It took me 10 minutes of checking out said building to come to the conclusion that it was just a bug. I found the actual minefield another mile down the road.

I'm having the same problem but in Gutgash's northern territory, I looked the location of the minefield up in the guides, dog goes crazy when i get there detecting both the minefield and the locations of the mines themselves, but neither locations get updated on my map or screen

I have the same thing in Pink Eye's territory (on PC); dog points me to Tyrant's Lash (cleared) but won't help me clear the final minefield across the street. Not sure what I can do now to get around the bug, and this is my last one to clear to bring the threat there to zero.

Spazticus: exactly the same dilemma I have this is the last thing I need to do to clear pink eyes territory. Dog just goes spastic on the corner of Tyrants Lash which has been cleared, how do we get past this dammit?!

There's a 1 or 2 minefields that you get a 'false positive' from the dog (no mine), just drive around to the other side of the minefield and try again from there.

The ones where there's no minefield at all, are pretty clear they're not and it doesn't happen if the rest of the map is cleared first.

Spazticus and Nez where I'm standing is the closest mine to Thrant Lash's camp.

If going around to the other side of the minefield and trying again doesn't help, driving a grid pattern until you hit it might be your only option.

I've cleared it 16 or 17 times without a problem, but the dog has indicated there's one right next to the camp a couple of times when there's not.

Same problem here, apparently this bug never got fixed.

Annoying, I'll just have to let it go and finish the story without clearing the rest... bah...

I know I managed to finish the game. But I don't remember how. :P

Tried reloading save? Entering/exiting a fortress?

I tried eveything out. I exploded on that first mine right after i could exit Chumbuckets Territory. I would be so thankful if you could remember what it is because I just finished (almost) jeets territory and max is almost full upgraded, so i have no mivation to start again. I read the trick to come from another direction. At the first try, the dog barked again at the right point but no mine was popped up. Since then, this trick doesnt work either. So the dog never comes out in Blackmaws territory and the location of the minefield :(

Try doing some other mission first?

I tried, now started mission in Pink Eye and after that I tried to find the mine. The dog barked at an total different point in Blackmaw's where no mine can be. Went back to the minefield and the dog sat down. Then I went back to the "Mine" he found but he also stays inside. So now he doesnt bark anymore again.
