Showdown update Exclusion zone

Hmmm :thinking:@Stridsmaskin90 that’s strange. When i look at your picture the red hatch in front of the main unit from the antenna hadn’t open. It makes me think that you missed one thing to fullfill the last step. Make sure that you destroyed the two generator blocks inside the antenna the first photo shows that on the left side. The second that is behind the glaswall at the right side behind after you walked through the port. The third photo shows how i’m crouching on the belly it’s easyier than to go over the ramps. Then the hatch what is shown on the last photo opened and a red light what looks like an eye appears. Then you can fire a grenade or throwing a handgranade or with the RPG if you have one. When one step isn’t fullfilled the hatch, what is red on your photo, will not open. Mine is blue because i finished the mission. I’m sure you have missed something. Take a look at your log or you haven’t destroyed all the enemys you have to destroy. There is something what is left.

i have shot it multiple times with the rocket launcher, and it was not destroyed.

Also, yes, the red hatch has not been opened. That is where my problem is, as i explained earlier. When i brought up the red trapdoor or door, i meant the red hatch. It has not opened


i also cannot interact with the non destroyed one any further, other than when i made it green.

There is nothing on the map or in game that tells me what to do next. I cannot destroy anything, i have done the missions prior to this, and i have followed the advice of others.

i have shot at it with an exp pvg

@Stridsmaskin90
That’s weird.

But what makes me wonder is that the reactor block is green. Shooting at the red hatch doesn’t help at all. Take a look at the video, the first one is Exclusion Zone. It would be best if you could restart the mission and play it again from scratch. There must be a reason why the reactor block is green and not red and has a hand symbol. If it cannot be destroyed, the game will not continue. Only when it is destroyed will the red hatch open. Shooting at it beforehand is useless. Perhaps you could try switching to a different mode first. I was switched to skirmish on my PC.

As i said earlier, i switched modes already and it didnt work. The reason it is green is because during the mission i was told to place some device on it, and so i did. Thats what turned it green. I actually watched that video because i was confused why nothing was happening after i did what the mission told, and then found out that my game was bugged. Mine was red and had a hand symbol, i interacted with it, it turned green, but it wasnt destroyed.

In the video you have to shoot at it to destroy it. And as i remember i didn’t place anything in front of teh generator.

i got the option to hold E on it. so i did, which turned it green.

OK. But when you look at the video there is nothing to place. In the video is the whole mission shown from the scratch. And there was nothing to place on the generator. The hand was shown but like in the video i blewed it away.

pherhaps that is what went wrong

But that cant be it, since it is an intentional game feature. There has to be something else that went wrong.

Look at the video from minute eleven to the twentieth minute that is the part where the antenna would be destroyed. But there is nothing to be placed at the generators. And you are right there are handsymbols to be seen not hand symbols. But as i remember i blewed them away without looking for the hands.

Didn’t Veronika or Tatiana say that we have two ways to deactivate them?
Maybe it’s either placing a device or destroying them.
And maybe it currently just works If you destroy them both.

I would really like to play it again to examine what the issue could be… I just don’t want to rush through the whole story again until I get to that point.

Sadly they never introduced multiple savegame-slots where you can save manually before a mission, or an update…

Yes, that’s really sad. When you can set a safepoint before starting a mission you could replay it when something went wrong or you stuck at a point. A makeshift way is to save your savegame file before starting a new mission, so you can restart a mission.

Yes, but that’s an option for PC only.
Well, on playstation it would also be possible, but not as easy and fast.
On Xbox it’s even impossible.

hopefully restarting missions becomes an option

I don’t think so.
You know, final update, just hotfixes for critical bugs…

hopefully this one will get fixed at least

Ok, I didn’t redo the mission, but I returned to the location.

When the door is open…

The first generator to destroy is on the right side behind glass.

You can reach it by a small parcour starting on the left.
For me it’s of course already destroyed. It’s shining green.

The the 2nd generator is further on to the left without any protection.

Destroyed and also shines green.

After that the red eye appeared. I destroyed it, now it looks like that:


I just wonder why there is no green light at the generators on your screenshots. But your objectives list looks good… Except the last one of course.
