You Know My Name sniper gun won't fire

[DanDan1975]

So I've reached the part in the You Know My Name mission where you take over the sniper nest and you're supposed to cover Reed. But the thing won't fire. It keeps saying "firing mode disabled". I watched a YouTube video and there's supposed to be a robotic voice saying "new user detected" etc, and I don't get that. I go straight to Reed coming out of the door and then everyone immediately attack him and I can't fire or do anything, or exit the sniper nest. I reloaded the mission all the way back to the beginning, but the bug remains. Basically this has broken my game.

If I remember, if you look around at the beginning, you should be able to see these guys coming and warn Reed about them (like with the mines), so he hide.

Enemies immediately detect him the moment he steps out on the balcony and attack. So the whole thing is bugged. The sniper rifle doesn't activate - I can't scan or fire - and Reed is detected right away.

If the issue remains after this weeks patch you should send an official support ticket - posting to the forum most probably won’t help you solving your problem : /

You ever get past this? I've been stuck on this for a good month now and haven't figured it out.

I don't intend to indorse nor market myself in anyway, but I've posted a stealth solution for this that's Fling's trainer-dependant... So PC only I'm afraid. First time coming across this on my probably 15th 100% playthrough. Actually took me a couple of hours to find a stealth approach to this. Just wanted to see So Mi in that dress, you know, V wouldn't give up without a fight.

Fwiw, this may not be easy to reproduce.
I had a new gameplay started in something like December 2023, and was doing this part in January 2024. This part worked for me as usual on PC.

? You mean to say that So Mi wears something else depending whether you stealthed YOU KNOW MY NAME?

No. I was referring to the reason for putting the effort to find a way to bypass this. Stealth only gets appreciated by Reed once you get to his side. Not much else besides that, I'm afraid. Sorry for confusion.

Sorry for confusion.

No worries... Though, it would've been something to consider if it were Square Enix.
