Showdown update Exclusion zone

I was at the part of the Exclusion zone mission in the new update where you have to destroy the radio tower on överby. Get spotted by a tank and ignore it. Tank shoots missiles on the wall which blows up one of the power thingies. And im now completely softlocked from the mission. Restarting game wont help either. I sure do love having to wait 1 hour for the update to even download, and now i cant even play it unless i want to restart my entire world until i can get to the end again.

I managed to bug myself in behind the lock, but it still wont let me destroy the orb. Please tell me there is a fix for this, i want to actually experience the update.

My brother was doing the mission and flipped the switch on both power nodes and as he was figuring out what to do his game crashed

Turned the game back on and now both nodes are powerd but the red eye is covered and there’s no way to finish the mission

Didn’t Veronika said that we may have multiple ways to reach our goal? Power down or destroy or something else?
Are there really more ways?

yeah thats what its showing for me too

havent seen any. Ive tried just shooting the actual tower, but that didnt do anything and i havent seen any signs of having to do anything else. I dont have any icons for the mission on the map at all

Any good news? I’ve tried what feels like everything and no results

I have tried all I can think of. A voice said blow it up might work … so I did. After that all I get is a message top left… “Exclusion Zone Disable the air base signal relay.” No more markings on the map to show where to go or what to do.

Anything? I can’t find any solution

I went in to the relay station through a big door on West side that did open up by a Hunter when I was passing by the “wall” close looking for a way in.
Directly left you can climb and jump and then continue inside. When I got a bit in, I got instructions on what to do next.

Not a problem getting in. I think we all got those instructions. After turning off the 2 generators is when everything stopped.

nope. No good news. I just started a new world and im trying to get back to where i was as fast as possible.

yup. Same here. The gate thingy remains closed and since the red orb is immortal until you do the mission properly, bugging in behind it wont let you do anything.

This a majpr problem… Does anyone think the Dev’s will fix this Quick. Can not finish this finial Showdown mission. Further progress is stopped dead.

Hey @Zesiir
Now that Carni is gone, who is responsible for listening, listing and priorizing bug reports?

For now, i think the only thing you can really do is start a new world until it is fixed. I really hope systemic reaction can fix this fast.

Did you got the radio message telling you to find the power source still powering the antenna?

If not, check for powerlines outside and follow them to the source.

For me (Host) the location also was marked on the map, for my mate (Client) it wasn’t.

You can’t enter the relay tower at airbase till you shut down the power suppling it . They are in sequence.

If you haven’t already did this, this might work. From F23 airbase follow the cables to the alternative power source. I marked it on the map. There you should disable the power.
