Far Cry 5: Merle Briggs Bug

[Glizz Khalifa]

So I reached Merle Briggs and he was tied up. I cleared out all the cultists and I still had no prompts to free him. I tried most everything and he is still tied up. Another AI ran him over and I thought it would reset him but it didn't. Anyone else have this bug and/or a solution?

[Omagon]

I have the same bug/issue.

For me he was ran over by an npc, i revived him but afterwards he just runs around with his pistol drawn. Is he supposed to give me a mission? I can't interact with him.

[Dax_B]

had the same issue too.

Only thing that fixed it was running around the park and drawing in more enemies. I ran back over to his spot and he was up the road downed by enemies.

He then went back to his spot and re-tied himself (I guess? lol) and was able to free him.

Wait till he sends you after the deathwish and you get stuck in a failure loop until exiting out to the main menu or alt-f4ing then loading the save again to reset the mission. That one was a hoot.

At the trailer park I just threw some meat out by a guy outside the fence and a bear mauled him then one of the hostages and the other guards on that end then it was easy to pick off another guy or two that came from somewher else in the park. I also got some good bear meat out of it lol.

Yep my missions broken faaarrrk! Has anyone come up with a solution?

I had this. I beat him up and revived him with still no luck.

Fix: Save your game, exit to main menu, continue game.

I then spawned back in next to him, killed the cultists then could interact with him no problems.

Had the same issue.

How to fix:

1. Stand right next to Merle
   
2. Save the game
   
3. Close the game
   
4. Open game and and continue
   
5. You should spawn close to Merle and see he is surrounded by peggies
   
6. Kill them and you should now be able to liberate him.

I was able to fix it by walking away from the area and then fast traveling back. He was tied up again and surrounded by guards. Worked the second time.

This is exactly how I did it.

EDIT: And it worked. Sad to realize almost two years have passed since the issue got reported and yet it's still there.

another thing you can do is if you can't liberate him go and do the US auto base and he will drive up and give you the deathwish mission then.
