The Showdown Bug Solutions

Owen Dexler Attacks You On Sight Andrea Sandoval and the Ebbside Strikers are Hostile The Disciples are Missing from Their Hangout Spots

Owen Dexler Attacks You On Sight

Players have reported that after the fight against the Disciples in the Warehouse, approaching Owen Dexler will make him and the other Strikers hostile towards you, attacking you on sight, causing you to be unable to initiate a conversation with him.

Do Not Attack Civilians During Clear Disciple Hangouts

The bug happens when you accidentally attack civilians during the Clear Disciple Hangouts objective, and you get a bounty for doing so. You can either restart the quest from that objective, or find a way to remove your bounty to be able to speak to Owen Dexler normally again.

The walkthrough team has not encountered this bug and cannot confirm it at this time. 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!

Andrea Sandoval and the Ebbside Strikers are Hostile

If you accidentally damage one of the members of the Ebbside Strikers at this point, they will be hostile to you indefinitely, which will cause the quest not to progress.

Leave the Planet and Wait for 48 Hours to Clear the Bounty

To clear the bounty from the Ebbside Strikers, leave the planet and wait on your ship for 48 hours. When you return, the Ebbside Striker NPCs should act normally, and the quest can progress.

How to Wait

The Disciples are Missing from Their Hangout Spots

Another reported bug is the possibility of players randomly encountering the Disciples not properly spawning in their hangouts.

Travel to Another System to Reset the Quest

A fix to this bug is to leave the planet by traveling to another system and going back to Neon to reset some of the quest/NPC behaviors.
