Outpost scanning doesn’t work
After getting the necrotic sample, the scanner in Outpost doesn’t work. You can step inside but there’s no action or effect. Tried for 10 minutes with the crew repeatedly and they all said it was bugged. PS5.

I was having the same issue,
In the CyberAcme quest: "Introducing Sekiguchi" after "Inject the Necrotic Sample in the southern Flight Control" in there is a step called "Scan your shell in southeastern Orientation" During this step the green HUD marker shows which scanner to enter but nothing happened when I stepped into the scanner, you're supposed to just wait for the scanner to activate when you step in, but it seems like sometimes it doesn't work. Usually I was getting to it late in the round so maybe the script breaks for some reason? but I had to speed run solo as an assassin to get there.
Thanks for +1 actual bird. Exactly this. Here's how my runs went:
Run 1: Picked up sample, died (no issue)
Run 2: Couldn't pick up sample, it was glitched and stuck in the drawer.
Run 3: Picked up the sample, went to Scanner - didnt see the indicator but another teammate was showing me where it was. No yellow indicator, no action. Stepping inside did nothing.
Run 4: Picked up the sample, went to Scanner, saw the yellow indicator, went inside, nothing happened. Tried for a while.
Run 5: Crewmate had the same Contract. They picked up the sample, we all went to the Scanner. I saw the yellow indicator and went inside. Nothing happened. The Crewmate who picked up the Necrotic sample then went inside the scanner and it triggered for him. The Contract completed for both of us.
This seems very buggy and like there is some complicated logic for determining when the scanner activates and for whom. I think the Run 2 bug of not being able to pick up the sample was because another team picked it up first, and the map state didn't reset properly to allow our team to pick it up as well. Not sure if this is by design or not but it's filed here: https://help.marathonthegame.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/47404148145428-Outpost-necrotic-sample-glitch-unreachable
