Disorder Mission 4 - Ork Resources BUG
The mission is called "Keep Your Enemies Closer". When you switch to the Ork faction you should have 4000 requisition and 2500 power, as you do for the Chaos faction. But there's a bug that gives you zero resources when you switch to the Orks which makes their mission almost impossible (unless you use the Chaos army to sweep the way for the Orks, which would be an unnatural way to do it in my opinion).

If you restart the mission many times, you will eventually avoid the bug: you just need to skip the cutscene, switch to Orks and restart from the menu in case you have no resources. When you finally succeed, save the game immediately, name it something like "Mission 4 Ork NO BUG" and never delete it or overwrite it.

This game has several bugs but this one was really annoying.

I've replayed the mission twice with 0/0 and was wondering if it's even doable considering I got asskicked hard, 4k/2,5k is whole different level thanks for the tip :).

Actually, it's not as bad as you think. You have enough time to destroy the Webway Assembly at the beginning of the mission if you immediately rush it with all your troops and ignore everything else. Mob it with the Nobz, pop Gorgutz' ability and it goes down before it can teleport away, even on Insanity, leaving the Land Raider interdiction as the only time-sensitive objective in the mission. Once you do that, you can take your time with the rest of the mission.

Thank you, bruh!

You can just rush Assembly as Orks and than switch to Chaos. By the time you deal with convoy as Chaos orks will have enough resources. Just dont forget to build one or two generators.

Old thread, but just wanted to let people know that I experienced the same thing as OP--and coincidentally also came to the same solution as them. However, I found that even after loading the file in which the Orks get the proper resources, if you switch to Chaos, the resources will go to them and stay with them even if you switch back to the Orks! :steamfacepalm: Glad I only played for 5 minutes before figuring that out!

yeah chaos melts orcs can just lelelellelelele with their numbers and death-ball then when you're about to win save so you can do the following mission as either one of them.

If im right that how old 1.51 work too. Noticed that randomness too. Maybe 1.41 work better. There is console command for fix resources. -dev -console required. Or just tries switch and restarts.
