    Q for those who like to do bounties

    In West End there's an area close to Riverside gas station where hostage rescues frequently pop up. Once you kill all the baddies and get the key the hostage is always in a cargo container on the banks of the Potomac.

    Every time I do this one - not some time, every single time - when you release the hostage they drop the bounty inside the container, I have to step in to pick it up and when I do the door closes behind me, locking me in.

    It's an annoying bug, but I am curious is anyone else gets this ALL the time like I do or not?

    This has happened to me also. I had thought that a recent patch was supposed to fix this issue.

    Apparently that patch was a fail, since it happened to me twice yesterday evening.

    It's working as intended. How else do you expect the bad guys to take hostages? No fuss, no muss and no dying horribly to Division agents.

    This sounds familiar. I think I've had this happen before. I've also been stuck in all kind of environmental elements in NYC. Fast travel is the way out.

    It's better than TD1. I remember getting stuck dozens of times and not being allowed to fast travel because an NPC was nearby but not in sight. Suicide was the only answer. lol
