How to fix the elevator bug in Aliens: Dark Descent

 

Tactical strategy Aliens: Dark Descent turned out to be one of the best games in the Aliens universe. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bugs in it that can make further passage impossible. In this guide, we will show you how to fix the nuisance that prevents you from using elevators.

Aliens: Dark Descent is a multi-level game. To go up or down, you have to use the elevators. Sometimes there are situations in which they cease to be interactive. As a rule, there are no objective reasons for this - you just encountered a bug or an unobvious game convention.

As practice shows, simple solutions to the problem, such as repeated attempts to enter the elevator, restarting the game, or loading the last save, in the vast majority of cases, do not work. However, there are effective ways to fix the error:

• Examine the nearby welded doors. If the xenomorph tries to pass through them, then the elevator may not be available. Kill the Intruder and try again.
• Check if there are drones nearby. If your squad has a drone operator, explore the area and see if there is an ally robot nearby. Perhaps the game considers him part of your team and does not allow you to leave the level without him.
• Try approaching the elevator from different angles. There are situations when the elevator is activated only from a certain angle. Try to approach him from different angles. The possibility of interaction may appear at a certain angle.

If none of the methods work, nothing can be done. It remains only to wait for patches or play the game again. Or you can use a third-party save. Unfortunately, no one guarantees that you will not stumble upon this bug again.
