[Bug / Issue] Mission "Bounty - Raider Base" cannot be triggered or completed (GPS inside mountain)

Need More Information

Hi everyone,

I encountered an issue with the mission "Bounty - Raider Base" in Survival mode and I am unsure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something.

  • Issue: The mission marker GPSActiveContract spawned deep inside a mountain.
  • Steps taken:Accepted the "Bounty - Raider Base" contract and flew to the target location.Upon arrival, I noticed the GPS marker was embedded inside the mountain terrain.I landed, dug my way into the mountain to reach the marker, but the mission did not trigger/activate.I then went around the mountain to the actual enemy base and destroyed everything as instructed in the description, but the mission remains incomplete/unfulfilled.

Troubleshooting already done:

  • Started a completely fresh save game after Update 2.3.
  • Verified integrity of game files via Steam.

If this is indeed a bug, I wanted to report it here. If this is intended or if there is a specific trick to triggering this mission properly, I'd appreciate any guidance!

Thanks in advance!

Hello Heiko Hartmann (TutMeistensNix),


I can complete the Bounty - Raider Base Contract without an issue by destroying the Gatling Turret, 3 parked ships and the Hydrogen Tanks located inside the base. Could you please provide a video of your issue?

Please note that the Contract in question does not have another stage after reaching the GPS Marker - it is active immediately after accepting it from the Contract Terminal.

Hi Bartosz,

Thank you for the quick reply!

That is very interesting. I just launched the game again to record a video for you. To make the video easier to follow, I switched the game language from German to English.

Surprisingly, as soon as I played in English, the mission completed immediately without any issues when destroying the base!

Before this, while playing in German, I tried the mission 4 times:

  • Canceling and restarting the contract.
  • Reloading the save game multiple times.
  • None of these attempts worked on the German language setting.

It seems this issue might be tied to the language/localization settings (German language causing a trigger/objective detection failure).

Since it worked right away in English, I unfortunately couldn't capture the bug on video, but I hope this detail helps tracking down the issue if it is indeed language-related!

Kind regards,

Hi This Bug/issue may need further investigation as I'm playing in English and have come across exactly the same issue as described above. I Arrived to find the Contract marker under the hill, found the base ground down the turret, hydrogen tanks and all 3 fighters but the contract isn't completing/ updating.

Hello Heiko Hartmann (TutMeistensNix),


I have tried to reproduce this issue on today's Hotfix - 2.3.0.2788. The Contract can be completed correctly in German.

Could you please try to reproduce this issue again on the 2.3.0.2788 version? Additionally, please try to record the attempt and attach it here.

Let me know if you can complete the Contract.


Kind Regards,

Hi Bartosz

I Have managed to complete the contract on my second attempt. This time I ground down the turret, but instead of grinding down hydrogen tanks and fighters I used the gatling guns on my ship to blow them up and this worked fine so may be related to grinding the items to destroy them.

Hi Bartosz,

Thank you for the update.

I tested this again on the new Hotfix version (2.3.0.2788) and recorded the entire attempt. The video is almost 20 minutes long and completely uncut, so you can see every step without any reloads or edits in between. (Feel free to fast-forward through the long flight times!)

Here is what I did during the video test:

  1. First attempt (German language): Loaded my save game, flew straight to the target, and destroyed everything. The contract did not complete.
  2. Second attempt (German language): Flew back to base, canceled the contract, re-accepted it, flew back, and destroyed everything again. Still no success.
  3. Third attempt (Switched to English): Flew back to base, canceled the contract, switched the game language to English, accepted the contract again, flew back, and destroyed the base in the exact same way. This time, it was immediately successful!

Since another player (Paul Floyd) reported the same bug while playing in English, it might not be a pure localization text issue, but perhaps resetting the language/contract context forces a trigger fix.

I have attached/linked the video here for you to review:

Hope this helps you track down the underlying cause!
