Mass Effect 3 Cerberus Abduction bug - need help

Playing through for the 1st lime on PC and got to the Cerberus Abductions quest - I get to the point of the 1st encounter with the enemy, shortly after starting.  No matter what I do - I kill them, they die then suddenly, they are up and shooting again.  There is one that is completely immobile - does not even fire a weapon.  But you cant kill him either.  I know there is support to be a turret in this area also - but .. no turret.

Something is wrong.   I have tried to repair the game via Origin.  I have restarted the mission multiple times.   I get the same results.  

I need to complete this mission to fully advance - so HELP!!

    Tried doing a clean reboot and all - didn't work.  Finally uninstalled and re-installed the whole game - that did the trick.  Thanks for the response, though!

    Hmm, thanks for the post. I can see a few references to this issue, but I'm not sure on a definite fix. Can you try restarting your computer with a Clean Boot and see if this has any effect/ I suspect it won't, but it's a quick and easy thing to check. 

    Past that, I've seen some odd progress issues in games before, can you try playing on and doing some other missions, then returning to this one?

    Thank you

    Additional to Davids suggestion I would try another save game. One before that save you already using.

    Thanks for coming back with the solution. Sometimes a repair/reinstall is the only way to go. 🙂
