Vault 6 bug in Vault Breaker Game mode, specifically the objective updating in game.

So our squad completed a run in the Vault Breaker game mode, where near the end of our run we completed Vault 6 and after exfiling, we were able to buy the new Vault 6 Tier 2 upgrade for our runs, which bypasses the need to go to the Secret Labs area of Cryo Archive to get the 3 symbols for Vault 6.

So after buying said upgrade, we ran another run, where we got the Vault 6 key after completing Vault 5. We went up to Vault 6 Labs area, without going into Secret Labs on the East side of the map, killed the Gold Ghost, put in the batteries into the vault, were able to use the Vault 6 key without needing to input any symbols like normally, and finished the Vault.

The bug is what comes after. The Objective tracker in the top right of the screen, after getting into the loot room of Vault 6, never updated past the "Go to Secret Labs to find the symbol combination" or whatever the wording was. Because when we arrived in the Vault 6 loot room, there was no "Next Key" on the table, where normally from the last run where we completed Vault 6 there was a DNA Access card waiting for us. This time nothing.

So after looting Vault 6 through, we went over to Secret Labs to see if the objective would update, which it did. The Objective changed to, "look at the symbols combination wall to get into Vault 6", or something, then when we looked at the wall of symbols, the objective then updated again to, "find the next key and proceed or exfil with your loot". Or something similar. Which it normally has been saying after each vault completion in all of our other runs of Vault Breaker. So after seeing the symbol wall, it tracked that we already completed the Vault 6 before going to Secret Labs, and then went to the next objective of leave or continue your run.

We then proceeded to run back to Vault 6, and then the DNA Access card was there waiting for us on the table. But we didn't have enough time to use it anyways so we left and exfiled.

So the bug is when you have the Tier 2 upgrade bypassing the need to go to Secret Labs, the next vault key or DNA Access card doesn't appear to you in the loot room of Vault 6 until after you still need to go back to Secret Labs and see the symbol wall anyways. So the bug is something to do with the objective tracker not updating correctly when you have the Tier 2 upgrade purchased already before the run. Theoretically, it shouldn't need us to go to Secret Labs at all if we have the Tier 2 upgrade, but the bug in the objective tracker is still making us to do it to get the next key / DNA Access card to appear in the Vault loot room.

I don't have any video evidence of this since it was later in the night and I forgot to record it, but if it happens again later I can edit this post to include it. That's the steps that we took to find and "get past" the bug in our run, hopefully you can update the objective tracker to not need us to go to Secret Labs to get the next key / DNA Access card for continuing our runs past Vault 6 in the future. Thanks!
