Chapter 4 - Canal Route #11 - can't get the gun

[pmhannum]

Good day everyone,

I have searched through the forums looking for anyone else who has this problem, but I seem to be the only only one.

During Chapter 4, Canal Route #11, I meet up with the resistance, the black NPC takes me into a room, shows me the map of the damn that is just outside, and tells me that the alien is installing some sort of gun onto my airboat. Well, when I leve him and go back to my airboat, no gun.

I see the alien doing his welding thing on the boat, or worse yet, welding thin air. I hop back into my airboat, go through the gate, get past the two tongue monsters hanging from the ceiling, round the bend and face off with a killer attach helicopter who hands me my rear end... and i die.

I have talked to several people in real life and they tell me that I am supposed to get a gun that can take out the helicopter, but when I play, I don't get the gun.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You need to park the airboat beside the pier, not infront of it or anywhere else.

Yes, definitely pull up further to the pier. Funny though that the script would allow him to weld on thin air.

This is good to know!! Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try.

Oh, one more thing. This may be important. This airboat I am driving was created through the console. My boat was lost due to a bad decision on my part. A few episodes before I got to this point, I went to the console, summoned a airboat and I have been using this ever since. Do you think that this make a difference?

Is it possible to summon an airboat through the console with the gun already attached to it? My gut says yes, since it would have to be coded into the game somehow. You can't do something without giving it a name/label. So, anyone know what the name of the airboat is with the gun already attached so that it can be summoned through the console?

I'll be here on Friday.

You may just wanna start over click new game and start from the chapter where it shows you on the airboat and do it again. See where cheating gets you.

Another option is to use console "map" option to load at a point just before the airboat gets the gun. I'd guess it would give you the correct airboat, then you get the gun fixed to it.
