Mass Effect 3 Tuchanka Cerberus Activity Latch Bug

Question

So, I'm on Tuchanka, doing the Cerberus Activity mission, as I've done at least half a dozen times before, except this time, I'm playing as an adept and only carrying one pistol for 200% cooldown. What might that pistol be, you ask? Why, it's the Acolyte! What's the problem with that, you ask? Well, you see, the Acolyte doesn't do ANY damage to anything except enemies, and just bounces off surfaces. I have no other weapons. You still don't see the problem? Well, right now I have to shoot the latch off of a power box. Powers doesn't affect the latch. So basically, I can't continue with the game.

This isn't a post asking for help; it's a warning. As much as I absolutely love the game, and the entire series, I can't deny that they have very poor design issues in some places. The only way I can see to fix this is to reload the game.

Great! This same bug got me stuck in Omega DLC 🙂 Now I have to redo an entire mission 🙂 Haha I love this bug so much.

No need to replay the mission if you're on PC or Xbox 360. You can change your weapon loadout in Gibbed's Mass Effect 3 Save Editor. This is how it shows on my infiltrator character:

These are all the weapon names for the save editor:

And of course the editor itself:

Works with PC and Xbox 360 saves.
