Trader's Quest and Bunkers

[La Longue Fourchette]

I've come across an issue while trying to progress through Sutherland's Tale.

I'm at the point where I need to find the Conspiracy Theorist's Bunker and get the document box #3. I've checked all nine bunkers (not the bunkers associated with Rudiger's quest). But I have 7 abandonded bunkers, 1 stockpile and 1 hunting. I've doubled checked each bunker to confirm the notes that I made and during this second check, I found a loose brick in an abandoned bunker in HRV. Activating that loose brick gave me Document Box #2 (which I already gave to the trader during earlier portion of the quest).

I cannot give the trader Box #2 again (in place of Box #3) nor drop it on the ground. Luckily the box weighs nothing so it doesn't really impact gameplay.
Has anyone else found this issue?

Hello,
I have personally another kind of issue : I cannot find the first box (in stockpile bunker). the brick does not give a message it is loose and I can search in.
I visited all the 10 bukers = I got the 9 bunkers achievement. There are 6 abandoned bunkers in the game, +1 stockpile, + 1 hunting, +1 conspiracy. But there is also the additional bunker in pleasant valley just before entering Timberwolf area near the rope. It seems it is a key one because instead of the loose brick, I can see an hidden room. I supposed it will be available when you progress in the trader's quest.
But for the moment I am stuck.
From your description I guess you miss one bunker, am I right?
And you should have found the first box in the stockpile bunker, and the second box in the hunting bunker...?
Did the first loose brick was above a sink in a kitchen ?

The first one is not the 'stockpile' but the 'hunting' cache and it's position is random.
On a new run it'll most likely be the one in ML.
In older runs it's position seems to be determined on wich bunkers you have already searched.

The OP seems to have encountered a bug. Assuming non-interloper the cache should have been stocked but the Conspiracy Theorist part of the quest should get back box #3 not bot #2. That needs to be reported with as much detail as possible.

As for response #1, you did activate the trader quest? Dumb question, true, but it can only be inferred from your posting that you had and then ran into a bug. If you had not setup the trade for Special Request #1 then pursuing the quest would be futile.

Good luck. Happy New Year.

Hum, I have just visited a third time the hunting bunker ... and I found nothing: my hunting bunker is in FMuskeg, the kitchen one is in HRValley and the conspiracy one is in Pleasant Valley

Did I activate the trader quest? not so dumb question! I think I did, when I propose a trade : a Wyatt stuff is possible, and I remember a dialogue asking me to visit the bunker.

And this is what happened to me... I can't exchange the thermal package(

I assume what Iwasa meant is:
You have to 'activate' the 'trade' by selecting 'one' at the 'special request' in the trader's item list.
Usually the very first 'item' in the listing.

Yes, I now think you are right = I need to come back to the radio and activate the request = so obvious I did not think about it.
Thanks a lot.
Happy new year !
