Level 10-14 contact Wes Schnabel doesn't offer any missions

[Chill]

I was introduced to the level 10-14 Natural Origin contact Wes Schnabel at level 10 but did a few other missions first. When I approached him at level 12, he didn't offer any jobs but acted as if I had already completed all missions from him. He introduced me to the level 15-19 contact Karen Parker instead and both are listed in the Inactive Contacts tab now.

The story arc he offers, The Bonefire Plot, is also offered by 2 other contacts, Lorenzo DiCosta and Willy Starbuck.

Any chance you completed either of those contacts first?

Wes has been bugged for a while now; if you approach him while you are level 9 or less, he tells you to come back when you reach level 10. Do that and he acts like you've outleveled him.

@Caulderone Lorenzo and Willy are Natural Origin contacts as well. One gets introduced to only one of the three at random when one reaches level 9. So no, I don't have one of them as a contact and didn't complete the arc through them. I think the only way to get to the Bonfire arc is through Ouroboros for me.

 

@srmalloy Good to know that I'm not the only one. I checked the forums but couldn't find anything about this bug.

Still true. I'm level 13. I had Wes Schnabel as an Acquaintance--empty progress bar). I visited him. He was pleased to meet me, had a new contact to introduce me to, and said our time was at an end.

As of today (March 2, 2021) he's still bugged. Any update on this?

I noticed this bug recently as well.  I have a level 14 character that I want to do all possible missions (not just badge & story arc missions).  Looks like I may have to hold off playing the character until this bug gets fixed.

Beginning at level 11, Wes Schnabel stops offering missions, and starts introducing a next-tier contact. It looks like Wes Schnabel's failsafe and/or max level is erroneously set to 10. His levels should be the same as whatever Willy Starbuck's are, since Willy Starbuck has the same mission set and is working correctly. Wes Schnabel is also outleveled at 11 on my VM3-i26 local test server, so this was probably happening before 2019, and not Homecoming specific.

 

Screenshots: Wes Schnabel at 10, Wes Schnabel at 11 (no missions, next-tier introduction ready), Willy Starbuck at 10, Willy Starbuck at 11.

Does he get captured at all so there is a mission to Free Willy? 😛

I'd normally lock old necro threads but this seems like it's still relevant 🙂
