Old Guns quest bug?

[Theos 🪐]

So... I encountered the armory at the Castle and I picked up the Schematics from the table before Ronnie Shaw showed up and that started the Old Guns quest. Now the objective tells me to talk to Ronnie but she isn't here, now the quest marker is pointing to the ground where there is nothing. Is it bugged or what?

Sounds like it. You are not supposed to go into the armory before Ronnie takes you there. Check for her in the generals office.

Yeah I do not think the OP is going to find her.

The script to spawn her has not even run yet.

Try this:
setstage aa778 60

This probably do the same thing:
resetquest aa778

Well, I saw a big iron door and went to check it out... If I wasn't supposed to go there then I shouldnt be able to interact with it or with the Schematics in the first place...
Where is the general office?

Yea I've never even seen her or know who she is. What triggers her spawn? I've seen a guy saying that she only spawns when I'm far enough into the main questline. So... If I use that console command to advance the quest, won't it bug it even more?

Now I'm trying to open the iron door to the armory again but nothing happens. What the hell.

I was reading a guide about the quest. And it seems the armory door is supposed to be locked in the first place. What the ♥♥♥♥... When I was on the Castle I just walked up to it and pressed E and it opened...

I tried the first command, nothing happened.
Tried the second and the marker that was pointing to the ground disappeared, but the quest objective remains the same.

This is correct. It is supposed to be locked tight. But in my latest play it opened up too. I have replayed enough to know not to go in. The only unusual thing I did was to clear out all the enemies long before going there with Preston. But I never activated the workshop.

How long since you took the castle?

It's been a few hours already. Can't load a old save now, built a lot of stuff at the Castle since I'm planning on making it my main settlement.

I'm assuming if Ronnie shows up it I can complete the quest normally. How do I trigger her spawn?

You aint supposed to be able to open that door when you first take The Castle.

You are given a quest to dig it out and then enter from the tunnels.

If you are running a mod that changes The Castle then that interferes with the quest. Which is why most of them have a note not to enable the mod until after you take the The Castle.

No. I mean in game time. Ronnie shows up about a week later. The wiki should say. Maybe she will show up when it is time. Don't try and console stuff until then. Hope you have a save.

[Out Of Bubblegum]

You may have to eat those couple of hours. That really is not that bad. I have lost far worse.

The only thing you get out of it is the Artillery and Ronnie Shaw as a vendor. Not having either is not exactly game breaking.

Something to keep in mind next time around with The Castle.

Is there an achievement for completing this quest?

[Out Of Bubblegum]

Yep.

[Theos 🪐]

But I can get the achievement by completing it through console commands right?
