the mission is stuck

[3043188435]

I am playing a Metal DLC, which has a mission that asks me to find five X towers, but I had already mined them all before the mission started, so now the mission is stuck. What should I do next?

If nothing else, you could restart the map:

Press the ~ key (top left of keyboard under escape key) to open the console
Type "restart_map" without quotes and press enter

The map will regenerate, you won't lose any progress beyond any changes to the current map you're on, and console commands don't disable achievements.

If you have a different language setting for your keyboard, try one of the following keys to open the console:
´ / ö / ' / ñ / ù / ~ / `

I would't reccoment using restart map on the HQ or hub maps unless you are at the very beginning of them. you could lock yourself out of progressing the story this way.

Instead load a previous save if you have them and do things differently

Or put debug_flow_graph_screen 1 into the console and force complete the mission objective
Save before doing this

Try leaving and reentering the map, that cleared a stuck mission for me recently.

I tried your method, but all the missions in this map restarted, which caused me to be unable to enter the next map while progressing through the story, further getting stuck. Fortunately, I had saved the game, otherwise the save file would have been completely ruined.

If I force-complete the task using the console, will this method affect my task achievements?

Mods and console commands don't effect achievements
