False Positives Bug Solutions

Davis Stops Walking

This bug occurs after talking with Davis and going to the East Gate. Davis stops walking and just stands there, and the quest cannot progress since you need to follow him to a location outside.

Go Back to Ship and Sleep

Players have reported that going back to your ship and sleeping for 24 hours helped reset the mission and fixed the bug.

The walkthrough team has attempted to replicate the bug but could not encounter or confirm it. If this fix has worked for you or if you have an alternative fix, you're welcome to share it in the comment section and we will make sure to confirm the fix!

How to Wait and Skip Time

2. Talk to Keoni Alpin About Ashta Data

After a full day has passed, talk to Keoni Alpin about the data. According to her, the results of the data she got from the sensors are a bit off, and it seems that someone is tampering with it.

3. Talk to Davis Wilson

Speak to Davis Wilson who is found along Akila City's defensive walls. He'll tell you that he needs assistance in dealing with some creatures and asks you to go with him.

4-5. Go to the East Gate

Gear up on weapons, stock up on ammo and first aid items, then meet Davis Wilson at the East Gate. Once you're prepared, tell Davis that you're ready to go on the patrol.

6. Assist Davis on Patrol

Follow Davis outside of the city. Along the way, you'll discover some tracks that lead to the Ashta.

7-8. Defeat the Ashta

After discovering a destroyed security bot, the Ashta will emerge out of nowhere. Help Davis in killing each one of them.

Once the situation has been dealt with, talk to Davis. He'll explain that someone from security did this since they're the only ones who have access to security bots.
