Harvester Escape With Less Than All Weapons

[Bibliothekar]

So, Alad's Harvester came for me while I was doing the Tactical Alert. Because a Hyena was just burning me to the ground, it was easy for the Zanuka to pick me up and carry me away. No big deal, since I was curious about the escape mission. However, to meet the Conclave requirement, I had left my primary weapon back on the ship.

Now, while you escape, you pick up your primary, secondary, melee and powers - in that order. Unless you have your melee weapon back, you can fight with your fists and the base Kogake stance. However, since I didn't have a primary weapon, I ran into the first group of enemies without any weapons at all. And trying to beat up a Moa while it is boosted by a Shield Osprey and it's six friends are also shooting at you, that's no fun at all.

So, if that is possible, that all weapons move forward one slot if one of them is empty? Or maybe we could pick up our powers first instead of last. After all, since we can leave two of our three weapons on the ship now, it is possible that you'll have to do half of the mission without anything, until you reach your melee weapon. I have no problem with having to beat up four groups of enemies before I reach extraction, but I'd like to have more than just my fists for that.

My personal preference would be, that we get back our powers first, just like in the tutorial.

Do you need to kill them? Is it possible to just run pass them? If so, do that instead. If not, I agree a change could be made.

I don't know. It's the first time I've done this mission, so I tried to kill them all before one of the crewmen can reach a console and screw me up even more.

Same thing happened to me. For me i had removed my secondary weapon.
I also do this for the first time but i was able to get my other weps and power and explored whole map killed everything but since i can't pick up the secondary i can't complete the Escape mission.
So i aborted it started it up again and then i had the Despair from my other warframe already equipped and i was able to complete the mission.

Still it's clear the they didn't take into account players going into it with empty weapon slots.
