[Bug] Avalanche: Expedition - cannot interact with prototype weapon supply crate

763 votes

Currently (version 1.1.1.89682) in Avalanche: Expedition I cannot interact with the prototype weapon supply crate, so can't proceed with the mission. I've attempted this twice now, after I encountered the problem I removed my prospector from the drop and restarted the prospect, but still have the same problem.

On a related note, at the start of the mission the voice over states the pod was brought down by a storm and is marked on your map, which it isn't. Being the second attempt, I tried getting the crate before going to the avalanche/pass area, and the pod isn't even there yet.

After reaching the avalanche/pass area and getting the objectives update, I returned to the pod area and still could not interact with the crate.

Not able to access the crate as well. Hopefully you can patch this up as I've spent a lot of time on this mission. Fingers crossed this can be done quickly! Thank you.

Happened today here as well, unable to interact with supply pod/box. Attempted to change characters, new drop, etc, restart the game. Persists.

Please upvote this Bug so they see it and patch it. I can confirm all the details in the original post are accurate and the images posted are the same for me. I did all those things before coming here as well, even cleared the ground where the pod crash should be before it drops upon reaching avalanche site M. My backpack slot and inventory slots were empty also. This mission is vital for reaching the final tundra area of the game for me; as I have completed all other missions. So the game is not able to be played for progression due to this bug.

Now is a good time to go build in the Outpost until this bug is patched or attempt the hardcore missions. Thank you for a great game and happy new year everyone!

Adding my experience. I've got a group of 4 that's now got the choice between abandoning the prospect or waiting for it to be fixed. We've got 5 days on the prospect so I guess we'll play on our alts for now but it's rather unfortunate

This just happened to me. Walked to the Avalanche point, spawned in Supply Crate, navigated up to it, but unable to access Supply Crate inventory.

Same thing happened to me now.
A very long and serious grind all for nothing.
Many hours have been wasted on this mission and then there is no way to open the crate.
Feel robbed of my time by this mission now.

Same issue for me and my crew. We even built over the avalanche using ramps and went to the scout area but nada... Ground out the radar - no exotics..... Bye bye 600 points....

Did El Camino instead and got over 200 exotics and the mission done. (One shotted the worm with a hunting rifle....)

This happened for my team of 2. Observed Jan 1st 10am PST. I am aligned with everyone that this is frustrating given the time, effort, and importance of this mission.

Same issue for my team. Went to arctic site to open up the supply crate, travel to the crate and cannot interact with it.

Also experiencing the same issue. Currently have 4 days left on this prospect so hopefully this can get hotfixed before then as this isn't a mission I'm looking forward to re-running.

Same issue here, tried to relog. Nothing. So I guess my character will sit up there until the problem is resolved.
