After doing the first part of the quest "The Machine's Gun" I have reached the stage requiring me to clear 3 Escalation Protocol levels and open 15 Sleeper Nodes. Naturally as I was new to everything on Mars (as I only created this account a week ago, but played vanilla) I had no idea how to open these nodes. After looking it up I found it was linked to a quest I already had called "Nascent Dawn 1/5". So after advancing that quest to reach the stage where I have to access a specific node from my Override Frequency the quest gave me (which was the one for Dynamo.Approach.Arch, but I heard that this is the specific one the Nascent Dawn quest gives you) the Sleeper Node wasn't there. No music. No Node. Nothing. I also decided to check two other Nodes I found the location of previously while playing, namely the near the entrance to the Lost Sector Ma'adim Subterrane and the one under the bridge in Glacial Drift. Both of those are not there. I have reloaded the zones, reloaded the planet, re-logged into the game and fully rebooted the game. All 3 Node are not present, and I assume all other Nodes aren't loaded in either as I cannot find anymore. It seems to only have happened after I got the Override Frequency item.
My question is, is there any fix for this at all? I've heard Bungie out right don't care for this issue as Mars is being 'vaulted' in the Beyond Light expansion meaning there will be a new way to get Sleeper Simulant and Polaris Lance, but I'd rather not have two quests that I'll have to wait for September to do anything with. With the game I own, I should be able to complete both quests now and use both weapons. It's odd that there is no fix for this at all. If anyone has any idea how I can fix this (or is Bungie sees this somehow) please help me out, Sleeper Simulant was my favorite exotic in D1 and it's a shame that I can't get any further with this quest because of this bug.
