Re: Task Cold Hard Cache Bugged

Think I am at the end of the quest, quest log says reach the nav point, SE portion of the map near the cannibals.  When I reached it, it there is the typical orange quest marker, theres a bunch of crates there but I cant proceed.  Tried shooting it, tried scanning it, standing on it, clicking on it, nothing works.

    I'm at the same end point being directed to a nav point at some crates yet nothing is triggering. I can't use or scan anything.
    I have completed threel of the mission steps and this is the only one remaining.

    Same problem here, end of the quest, have the "Reach the Navpoint" quest log , but I can't do anything else to complete the quest. With the Nomad shield mission bug, I'm at 99% of game completion. [ Before and after patch 1.05]

    I'm having the same exact issue! With the marker but can't interact with it. Wish they would design something where tasks can be deleted and then retried later. But I hope they fix it soon!
  • For those having this issue, was it your 2nd playthrough with the same character?  I did 3 playthroughs, think the first one didnt have issues, the second playthrough I started the story all over again but with the same character,continued to level up, that was the game that I encountered this problem.  My third playthrough I started from level 1 again.  this time I was able to complete this quest.

    I have found the cause of the navpoint bug. If you do not find all the caches then go to the navpoint prior to attacking the shuttle and outlaws, the datapad/terminal is removed but it does not check off the navigation point step. I found my last cache in the same area as the base and caused the bug but upon skipping back a couple auto saves I was able to counter the situation. For those who have played much further after encountering the bug, it's likely better you complete it in order on another playthrough.
  • I have a bug too. (Platform:PC)

    I destroyed the shuttle (last step) befor "travel to navpoint" step.

    Is it possible to reset this task ?

    You can only reload a savegame prior to this.

  • It seems like impossible not to trigger this bug.

    I took on the outlaws at the top of a mountain and found a message on a datapad, then the objective "search for the message source"

    The objective marker was on a landing pad in the valley below. I saw a shuttle waiting there with an outlaw, so I spammed my sticky-grenade gun until the outlaw died and the shuttle was destroyed.... but apparently that killed the quest.

    Was I supposed to wait until I was in range to trigger the shuttle to do something so I could stop it instead of just stopping it and not hamstringing myself by letting it get away?

    So stupid. Very poor design.
