Normandy on a new Savegame

[Guenny Guenstig]

I was starting a new "VR" save because i havent play this game in a while and it can get quite confusing when i launched my old savegame in terms of "what to do" etc. i was reading that it is possible to claim your expedition and twitch drop reward on ALL savegames. but i couldn`t find the rewards from the normandy expedtion (i think it was called "breachhead" or something.) on the quecksilverdude. any suggestions? (all played on steam with one account)

If something happened to your save files folder (that’s where QS purchases, Twitch drops & Expedition rewards are stored). Unless you have a backup your only options are:
1: Restore items with the Save Editor (goatfungus on GitHub.com)
2: Use a mod (bleck, threw up in my mouth a bit there, sorry) to “hack-tivate” rewards.

Going forward, backup your save folder or at least the account data file after every QS purchase/Twitch/Expedition event happens.

You should be able to claim it at the Quicksilver vendor just like any other claimable expedition rewards.

That said, there are regular reports from players where they have 'lost' the option to claim things that they did earn.

You can get around that by either using the save editor to re-enable them in your game profile (which is a file in the save game location for the game), or you could use the mod that just enables all expedition rewards.
Personally, I recommend the former option, as it lets you just re-enable specifically those items which you lost access to. Plus, unlike mods, it doesn't need to be regularly updated (it's a one-and-done edit).

If you don't want to mess around with the save editor, there's also a guide for manually editing your save (with a text editor) to add the rewards for each expedition, though yesterday I saw a thread saying the guide was currently hidden (perhaps for updating), so I'm not sure if it's there right now.

You can delete expedition saves without causing a problem, but if you deleted your accountdata.hg file from the save location, that could cause a problem. Though it shouldn't, because the game does track that stuff on the servers as well (I tested this myself by deleting my accountdata.hg file, and I still could claim expedition rewards).

Still, as long as there is a 'fix' we can use, I guess it's not the worst glitchy thing in the game. :)

While it should appear in the QS dealer inventory, you can't claim it until you have a freighter.
