Thanks for the updates guys

Still grey. Did cutscene over and replayed the following mission again just to be sure.

Same here. just played through the Jefferson Plaza mission. and fast traveled to the castle settlement. but nothing still a waste land. HELP!!

[CrookedOhmu]

Just completed the Jefferson Plaza mission this morning and still greyed out, Kelso still just gives the previous cut scene.

Same problem. Can talk to Kelso, have done the mission, go back to Kelso and get the same cutscene. Help plz :)

I don't know if it's supposed to be grey, but I Kelso gives me the same cutscene over and over. Nothing happens after

I think it would be helpful if somebody from Ubisoft could to walk through exactly what it supposed to happen (spoilers be damned) so everyone isn’t anxious about proceeding with their game..

I think I am the victim of this bug — but I am unsure because (from what I hear) this particular settlement is so funky and unique from the normal scenario (abandoned, no upgrades, etc.)

Here is what I am encountering:

1. I visit settlement. I could not fast travel there. There is a waypoint marker (orange diamond) at the entrance hallway near a statue. (Am I supposed to get some sort of message or audio cue here?)

2. I wander in and around the settlement and come across a basement door. There is no indicator in my map for this I just had to find it.

3. Enter basement and get a cut scene (“7 survivors”) and with Kelso and am told to go to Jefferson.

4. I complete the Jefferson story mission.

5. I travel back to castle settlement on foot (I didn’t fast travel for fear that might cause the bug..). No messages or audio cues when I get there.

6. Go back to the basement door and it activates the same cutscene (“7 survivors”).

7. Then I travel out of Castle settlement the icon remains gray but now I can fast travel to it.

What I suspect should happen (but would be great to have confirmed officially so everyone can know for sure they are bugged):

1. Visit castle. Get prompted (audio cue?) to go to basement door.
2. Basement door leads to “7 survivors” cutscene. Tells me about Jefferson mission.
3. Go to and complete Jefferson mission.
4. Return to Castle settlement. (Get message or cue when you arrive?)
5? Shown something different at Castle? Different when I get there? Kelso waiting for me? Nothing outside but told to visit basement agains and shown different cut scene?
6? Does castle turn green? Does anything happen there after? New missions? Does it remain empty? Should it stay grey because it remains abandoned?

It would be really nice if there was a formal, specific walkthrough of what SHOULD happen as I think there is a lot of confusion.. maybe even some people thinking it’s bugged when it’s not because it’s different than other settlement experiences?

Hey folks,

Can you confirm if this issue is resolved for you?

Not resolved. Even went to Campus and spoke with the dude there to see if Castle would open up... nope.

I'm having the same problem with a objective that won't let me progress called theater leader outro which I can't trigger for the life of me and as far as missions I have done enough to unlock the castle too and that is not unlocked either, even my friends who's games are playing out right are telling me that my game is all screwed up and it's making me not want to play. It sucks because I bought the ultimate I'm mate edition to get an edge and get to endgame fast but my game just feels so out of whack I lost all immersion and it sucks because I liked the game. Please fix this I am a long time loyal customer.

LoL everyone says "find the hatch to the basement", i'm still trying to find this so calle hatch, for me to get to the basement, I have to go out of the complex to the side and down a ramp, where is this hatch that everyone is referring too ? The castle is a pretty settlement, at night with fog and raining, these things are not easy to find if they arent marked off...


EDIT* nevermind I found it eventually after looking for it the past day or so and this was for pc not ps4 but same issue as everyone else, done the missions, the castle has a very faint green hue around the outside as if it's green but it is grey and I can fast travel to there. I think what happens is, when you do missions the wrong way around, they dont register properly even though it is showing as completed on the cleint.
