ODST Coastal Highway mission bugged?

[The Traveler]

Since ODST got few more skulls I ran for the par score, muche asier even on Heroic to get the par score. But the final stage the Engineer keep dying. Funny thing notihng shot them that part, Dare simply says we failed the Engineer is dead!
I've tried 3-4 times so far, same issue. This is a bug or cause the new skulls? I will ran a normal mission without any skull. So frustrating. Also it's a game breakign bug.

I found (I think) a workaround that doesn't require deactivating the skull: I left the tank in the way of VRGL's armored vehicle (about halfway from the top of the offramp). This caused VRGL and Dare to spawn safely.

I'm not at all sure of this, but my guess is that something about the armored vehicle with the boom skull is killing VRGL, and leaving the tank in the way allows them to spawn safely while the armored vehicle is held back out of the way. Someone could possibly verify this in Theater mode if they want. I also haven't tested this more than once so it's possible I just got lucky and it didn't glitch and I'm fooling myself into thinking I made a difference.

Still works

most annoying part for me is the Escort Section.

As long as you pick up the the rocket launcher before you enter the elevator you can use it on the first set of ghosts on coastal highway and find more ammunition on the left side of the highway just before the doors open up for the scorpion. Let buck cover you with the Gauss.

I HAVE THE FIX. PARK THE SCORPION ON THE OFF RAMP TO BLOCK THEIR CAR. Continue on foot and they will spawn on you and you're good.

Safely arrive VRGL and DARE on the building - I shoot every covenant - Vrgl and other members of the team are OK but don't go further- the friendly ghost doesn't arrive at all - I'm stuck in that square NOTHING HAPPENING - no covenants no enemy at all but I can proceed further!

Me and my best mate have been grinding co-op legendary with a lot of the skulls on, accompanied by a drinking ruleset. (10 drinks if you lose shields, 20 if you die, another 20 if reset to last checkpoint). As you can probably guess, this soon leads to rather weak-minded gameplay. ODST is by far one of the buggiest releases on the MCC, with countless mission restarts due to the way co-op works. We have been trying to figure out what was causing this for MONTHS. i want to personally thank you on behalf of both of us for finding this strange, obscure work around. You have saved both our sanities and friendship
