Landmark Outpost hidden requirement?

[❃ Galiäna Krüger ❃]

I have never seen this issue before maybe its because recent update? Or is there hidden requirement beyond the 1k influence and outpost slot available??

I just moved to Drucker County and cleared the PH covering the sasser hospital and checked all room (not search containers yet) and yet I can't claim it.

Container not search shouldn't be the issue as I have claim a location as outpost before before search container, and after claim search become 0.5 second search per container

if you really checked all rooms (but i guess you havnt, this hospital is more than clunky to check all rooms and all places outside that count too) i bet your char said "the area is not clear yet"
There are still zombies around, needed to go down the ramp and around the wall myself, because there where some that still counted....

There are usually one or two boxes to loot outside the hospital. Where I usually find them hiding is at the bottom of the ramp driveway, front of the building, and set back toward the base of the hospital, in between the two ramp driveways

I just went there, cleared the heart nearby, did the things and captured.

1.explore all areas within the hospital;
2.clear all the remaining zombies until it states"site secured";
3.Have enough influence

Make sure u did all the above, if all fails, maybe rejoin the game

I had a wandering screamer roaming about the back ramp. That finally cleared it for me.

I had this happen with a regular outpost a couple days ago. Cleared it, had the influence, had an outpost open, and still the button would not light up. Restarting the game fixed it.
Also, it wasn't just a case of me not noticing a zombie. The flag had turned white.

Can confirm I had this bug the other day. Building was cleared, I had the influence and the space for an outpost but it just wouldn't light up/become interactive. Restarting fixed it.

Area was cleared. I just found out you can't claim landmark unless you have claimed 1 regular outpost prior even if you have cleared it thoroughly and have available spot on outpost 1 spot.

Last night after I made this post I went on and clear a couple more PH in unrelated areas and claim 2 outposts 1 med 1 ammo then came back again hospital and claim with no issue. So that's the hidden requirement - you need to claim any outpost first before you can claim a landmark - meaning landmark outpost can never be outpost 1.

Nah all 11 boxes were inside and containers weren't the issue as I've said before I have claimed outposts without searching containers and they become super fast to search once you clear it and claim it.

1. Did
2. Did + PH and clear with Safe Zone declared
3. Have 7x required influence at 8k+ influence
4. I had zero outpost in any outpost slots

As I have discovered after I made this post and said in a response, THERE IS A HIDDEN REQUIREMENT. one can never claim landmark as outpost 1 and only outpost 2 because you need to have 1 outpost of any kind claimed first. It is NOT listed on the claim overview for landmark.

I have a Landmark in slot 1 and it was my first on this map. It's also not the first time that I've done this. Might be different for that map as it was my 4th or 5th slot so maybe.

I never tested other maps but I am now on Drucker County. Might be the only affected landmark. I wasn't able to claim the hospital as outpost 1, I have it on outpost 3 atm.

Yeah, I can only really speak for Meagher Valleyk. I like to have Power & Water in 1 & 2 and on this map it so happens that the Power is a Landmark so it's Slot 1. This is the second time I've done this on this particular map. On Drucker the Landmark for me was definitely not slot 1 and I didn't have any problems capturing it. So yeah, maybe on that map it has an issue with Slot 1 but I'd consider that a Bug and not a Hidden Requirement. Possibly report it?
