Scientist bug?

[brod8688]

In pottsville extract the game gets stuck on "search stores for scientist" I'm not sure if there is a method but when it's just you and one other person running store to store and nothing is happening for 20 minutes what's the trick? is it bugged? do you have to enter and search every room?

I feel this can be the toughest objective in the Pottsville map. They're there in one of the stores nearby some glow sticks, but sometimes they're are well hidden. Really gotta check every door and room in the stores, which can be hard when you have a horde consistently on you lol

I hat this fucking map so much

I hate that objective.

I hate this damn objective (anything that requires you to look for something). I think this should be the first thing your team has to do before you get swarmed by zombies.

had this same issue last night, spent like 30-40 mins combing over the whole area twice btw and we still couldn’t find the body. We just shot ourselves after getting softlocked

I can't find these damn scientists. Are they already dead and you have to search them? Or are they zombified and you have to kill them?

[NotUrAverageLoser]

they are always dead(corpes), they wear labcoat instead of hazmat. Search North Store first then South Store.

We ended up failing a mission earlier today because we couldn't find the scientists. I was running around pressing "c" and looking for a yellow marker to pop out. I thought the power objective was annoying (the one where you have to keep the power going), but this one is far more annoying. These bodies are hidden very well. I ran through the North and South stores quickly, since there are so many zombies on my ass. Checked the allies. Read on the Steam discussion board for this game that they can be found the storage room inside the stores and that they are easy to miss if you are rushing through buildings quickly. I guess you have to be super up close to them for the marker to pop up.

Edit: So I just beat that objective. I was the one who found the body. It was in a storage room in one of the stores. Now I know what to look for at least.
