    "The Right To Bear Arms" mission

    Prior to this mission I had only spent about 15 minutes doing some optional fishing which I found boring as I only caught a couple of fish in that time. Fast forward onto the mission highlighted in the title where you have to catch a salmon to coax the bear.......

    How long did it take me to HOOK a fish at that spot? 1.5 HOURS. I tried different sides of the bank but to no avail despite seeing the fish leaping about close by. I then began walking backwards with the rod still in the water and guess what? I hooked one straight away. I've tried this with the Ragnar mission since and every time I've used this tactic the fish gets immediately hooked. The rod breaks regularly on this mission but that's another story.

    Even though I spent 1.5 hours with this and was getting a bit pissed at that time, I can laugh about it now, then this happened.......

    I arrive at the place where the bear's at, give him the salmon and kill all the peggies who are coming at me from all angles - but where's the bear gone? I can't find him.

    The mission is registered as incomplete but I'm not getting any of the instructions on what to do next.

    Can you track the mission in your jounal? If so, still no instructions?

    Also, are you using any mods?

    No mods used.

    I can track it in the journal, yes.

    Instructions are "Wade wants you to go and find and rescue Cheeseburger, the missing bear"



    I've even returned to Linero Building Supplies to see if he's respawned.

    No, I don't mean the mission description in the journal. I mean the actual on-screen instructions in-game. At the top-left of the screen. What does it say there?

    Look at this video. At 2:04 it says "Find Cheeseburger" in the top-left of the screen. What does it say in your game?

    I've just loaded up the game and saw these instructions in the top left corner which very briefly appeared.

    "Give Cheeseburger fresh salmon"
    "Find Cheeseburger"

    I missed the fresh salmon instruction previously so I guess this is what I have to do. I actually went back to the river before to try this but due to time constraints and the rod snapping I didn't manage to catch one.

    Gone to Linero Building Supplies with the fresh salmon. Instructions are to revive Cheeseburger but he's not lying on the mat near the river like he was before.

    I'd suggest going to get a fresh salmon, then use fast travel to Linero (or somewhere nearby) in order to force the game to load the mission.
    Make sure the mission is active/tracked in your journal while doing this of course.

    This is exactly what I've done to no avail. The yellow diagonal icons don't appear when tracking by the way.

    if all else fails try to hit escape and in there click abandon mission... then it will reset.. and you start all over again. or throw a few explosives at your own feet.. kill yourself.. the game "should" then reset the mission that way also.

    Couldn't abandon mission or even kill myself. The game wouldn't let me.
