Quantom deer / Manwell rifle not appearing

[Skadi]

hi some dayhs ago i bought the creation club manwell rifle dlc. i didnt do it instantly, and i started doing it today. but when i go to do the quest. the Rilfe is nowhere to be seen. it has not spawned. i have tried veryfing my game files, i have maunally gone into my files and delete all creation club content and reinstalled them. but the manwell rifle is still not spawning.

Help what do i do? or have i just wasted money on a dlc that wont appear for me?

Never had a problem with that apart from the fact that random walking enemies can also grab it and run with it away (but you can still follow them with the questmarker). On your screenshot it looks like it somehow fell through the ground, might be a mod issue, no idea. Your best chance is to go into the data folder of fallout 4 while the game is not running,move the dlc away from there, start and load the savegame, save it, end the game, move the dlc back and then restart it from the beginning.
As i said, i own the dlc for years now and never had a problem with it.

It would seem like a classic causal bug, the weapon is hidden under the texture of the ground, it can happen, in this case only a recent save I think could be the solution. As a second hypothesis, a conflict between mods. The mod you just downloaded is in conflict with others, in this case, the solution is to load a recent save and if the disappearance occurs, disable (and reload...) any suspicious conflicting mod until the problem is resolved.
Vortex signals if there is any conflict and resolves them automatically.

there is a patch on nexus called cc manwell rifle patch( something like that) that might fix it, the patch also fixes the manwell rifle firing more then one projectile per shot and then .308 cartridge/casing fix mod fixes all the ghost 308 rounds fired at range or when using vats(for all weapons that use .308). if you want to make the manwell rifle/carbine (i use the carbine only and made these changes to it only) somewhat balanced/realistic go into xedit and change Speed from 1.0 to .8 and attack delay from .000010 to 0.5 and that will drop the fire rate from 100+ to 72 making it act like a ww1/ww2 automatic rifle.

1) Rifle is not in the inventory, It's on the ground.. maybe in the water. (I once didnt notice it on the ground as well, it is not in dead guy's inventory for sure..)
> 1b) You did /scrapall in Tenpines and it grabbed it from the distance..

2) Location is too close to a random encounter point, you passed by and there was a fight there and a random raider took it, died and despawned.

Go there and take a look around, if it's nowhere to be found spawn anotherone by the console..

it is fe09394b in my instance, yours will be different.

quest should continue after grabbing the rifle.

now checked the wiki, it confirms my second guess..

Bugs
PC If a settler vs. raider random encounter happens near the stag hunter's corpse, a settler or raider may take the Manwell carbine. Pickpocketing or killing the NPC who took the gun will allow the player to continue the quest. If one does not kill or pickpocket the NPC with the Manwell carbine, the gun may disappear from the game, rendering the quest impossible to complete.[verified]

Does console command mess up achievements?

And i have not been around that top part of the map since i downloaded the CC mod. I have cleared out the places up there BEFORE i downloaded the mod.
and there is a random encounter with some rust devils up there. sometimes it just spawns mongrel if i reload a save file, and none of them have the weapon :(

Console command this -
setstage ccBJFO4002_quest 30
(not that the first 'O' is an 'O', not a zero, the 2nd and 3rd are zeroes)
