No Super Serum in "Deadlock's personal story"

[NiklasWB]

It appears that the temporary power "Super Serum" (or something similarly named) isn't spawning in the mission "Deadlock's personal story", which makes it pretty much impossible to defeat Back Alley Brawler. I checked an old video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iRBBF6rZXw) of the mission from live, and it appears the power spawns when the text "use the super serum" flashes on screen. But the power doesn't seem to spawn now.

I agree.  I had a character on Friday die four times because that serum does not appear.  It's an obvious bug.

Got this also. However I have ALWAYS gotten it when doing that mission, at the time I got it. That is, if I get teh mission at lvl 19, do it right then.

Today I tried it on a toon that got the solo mission and out lvl'd it. ANd no super serum!

[Kabuki]

Same problem, running the mission (for this really bad fan-fic quality) arc, no serum shows up, impossible to defeat the EB.

[Arlan]

This is still a problem. Picked up the mission at 19, now trying to do it at 22 and no super serum to be found.

My 'testing' shows that if you do NOT do the mission when you get it (or at least, at the level you get it)..it bugs out. Running it right away works normally.

I got the mission at 19 and went straight away to do the backstory part. Fail. SO the logic about any delay breaks it is incorrect.  I went back several times - always a fail. But thank you all for posting that this is a waste of time.  I thought I was doing something wrong.

 

If there is a badge for this its a carrot on a stick.

 

Edit and update. See my comment posted below.

I've had this happen but managed to get it working eventually.  I can't remember if it worked after resetting the mission or not.  I might have had to abandon it and re-get it from the contact.  If you keep trying you should be able to get it to work.

Still had this issue as of February 2021, but running the mission through Ouroboros works just fine.

There is a badge. Fortunately you get it even if you auto-complete the mission.

OK looky what I found. It seems the soup or serum does spawn.  Just its so fast and all the flashies are distracting me. But look in Tray0 Slot0 new power.

 

Also Pay attention to your approach. I found it better to go left and up the ramp there instead of the ramps ahead.  I am then approaching him from behind.

this bug seems to be back.  I am not getting the serum on my level 22 character.

[John Atlas]

Strange, I have run this many times and the serum has always been there. I think it did it last about 2 weeks ago.

[Hedgefund]

Help channel has been flooded (well, that's hyperbole but I've seen it brought up many times) with folks saying they couldn't complete this.

[Wavicle]

Even when it works properly, this is a poorly balanced mission.

It's more like an extended and interactive cut scene than a mission.

Hello,

Still having this issue in 2023! 🙂 

[VicZantosa]

Still having the issue on 5/16/23.  Outleveled the mission and had to auto-complete

[Grizlee]

In game as I type this, the bug still persists. 

 

I can open tray 2 using the "+" symbol but 3 wont appear to see if the button may be there. It's also not showing in my temp powers As mentioned BAB gives a beatdown no matter what you try. I get stun locked and down I go. I managed to escape and ran away. I exited the mission, which allowed me to reacquire the mission. When I did it this time, the serum was there in the first slot on my main tray.

The serum always appears in the main tray where Deadlock's powers are. His powers get shifted to the right as the serum appears when the flashing message pops up. If it isn't there, save yourself the pain and exit, and either reset the mission, autocomplete it, or abandon it and go get it from Eagle Eye again.

 

This mission gets buggy when you outlevel it. Like BABs getting beefed up to the point that even with the serum, Deadlock gets annihilated.

 So do what I did. Got it 😉

 

Aside from my snarkiness (sic) I do wonder at what triggered the issue. I went up to Back Street Boy to get the fight to trigger but immediately retreated to give me time to take the serum. I wonder if I had stayed in melee range if the serum would have showed as intended. 

 

Something to consider.
