So I had this bug happen twice where I couldn’t push a button because it said there were enemies still nearby. The first time was for an elevator close to the start of the campaign the second time was at the first forward operations base you can access after getting to the Open world area. The one that you get flown to in a pelican.
In both instances I killed the enemies from a very long distance. One from an explosive crate and the FOB I had long range weapons and picked them off from really high and far away on a cliff. The workaround was to walk very far away from the elevator or FOB and the enemies re spawned. The FOB one was interesting. I cleared it out and then rescued some marines. They followed me to the FOB and it was still locked. No enemies Marines not attacking anything,. However after I explored the ring more and then came back suddenly the enemies all respawned right on the same platform I had left the marines on. The elevator one was also hilarious I had to walk as far back as I could and then when I got back to the elevator there was the dead brute body still sitting there right next to his newly respawned body.
TLDR If you need to clear enemies to push a button make sure you don’t kill them while you are too far away. If you do you need to take a long walk away to respawn them.
Yep… I have it too. Not sure how to get past it. I saw on Reddit some others had it and they went around the surrounding areas and killed enemies and eventually got it. I haven’t had that luck though.
Will happen during the LASO run a bunch of times because of Cowbell lunching them out of bounds (but they’re not dead yet, they simply despawn).
The easiest workaround for this is to find a nearby group of enemies that is out of the objective’s area but close-by so that objective-tied enemies don’t respawn.
Kill the small group and the objective will be cleared, indicated by Weapon saying something along the lines that the area is now clear. Worked every time for me.
Yeah this happened almost every time for me on LASO. I worked out how to fix it. Leave the area until the objective pops up on the screen telling you what to do. Then turn back and the enemy that you launched into the stratosphere will have respawned back where they belong. It worked for missions every time, didn’t bother trying with FOB though.
Yeah same happened to me on a mission. I tried to splatter Hyperious and he got wedged between my chopper and a rock and launched into space ahah. Went wandering for a while and spawned back in maybe 15 minutes later.
I’m currently doing a LASO run and I’ve also encountered this issue. I think I came up with a solution, but I’ve only tested it on two FOB locations and a Squad Rescue.
As the other locations, I start my attacks from quite a distance so my original/starting spot is where I’m standing is my first kill (lets say I’m standing by a boulder cliff side, or a specific tree on a hill). I have a sword as my secondary, so my last kill is at the objective area.
I would try to capture the FOB, but it would say that I need to clear the area first. I would walk around and around, but no enemy was around until I ended up at my original spot. Then she would say area is clear.
So I believe you need to return to your original standing point where you shot at your first kill without needing to restart the game or leave the entire area.
Thanks for the info, I’m on the sequence mission doing LASO and have had to restart the beacons and FOBS multiple times to get something to work. I went back to where I first shot at enemies and it worked like a charm!
I had that issue. I was using the tank gun Easter egg on my LASO run and instead of killing them it would just blast enemies a mile away (great fun) so I think that was the problem for me anyway.
I figured out if I walked far enough away and then returned to the FOB it recognised I’d cleared them out and I could press the button.
I am having a similar issue, fob foxtrot, I have killed everyone but I can not activate the fob. It keeps telling me that there are emimeys near by.
Do I have to respon them and kill them agian? The first time I used the tank and the second time I used the ghost, both from a distanc.
