Bug: Activating Bilge Pump on Wall Cloud Doesn't Continue Mission

[The_Hyphenator85]

Just what the title says. I'm in the Naval Shipyard, on the Wall Cloud, I've destroyed all 5 Weld Points, and I reverse the flow and activate the bilge pump, only for Tong to contact me and say that I haven't blown them all up yet. What the hell? Anybody know what triggers this? And more importantly, how do I fix it?

Never mind! It turned out that I apparently hadn't quite blown up the second weld in the engine room--the one behind the wall, next to the big staircase of boxes. I had blown it up earlier, but I guess not thoroughly enough for the game to "take" it, even though the whole area was a smoking ruin after the two LAMs I threw in there. Anyway, I blew it up again and this time the game gave me credit for it, so I'm on my merry way!

Yes, that one gave me some trouble as well. Coming from the base of the stairs, you need to hug the wall and toss the grenade. Something blocks the explosion if you throw from the other side.

I actually threw the grenade from atop the dividing wall. It looked like it worked the first time, and when I was re-checking all the welds to make sure I'd taken them out, that one was pouring smoke just like the others. But when I re-loaded my save to try again the next day, the weld was sealed shut. I don't know if I triggered some kind of animation bug the first time around, but it didn't register that I had blown up the weld for whatever reason. Anyway, it worked fine the second time around.
