Quick question!
i am new to the game, love it, but there isnt a control guide haha!
I am on the fireboat patrol mission for the core campaign and I have to save the 3 survivors of the oil rig fire. I pull up to them, and they swim to my ship and just sit there, is there a button or something i have to click to save them?

Thanks!

  Nope, as far as I know "drive" up to each person, stop and wait for them to climb on board. Then repeat for the next person. After you save a person a message should appear telling you that you saved someone and to save the others. Hope this helps!

Is there a certain part of the ship that you need to put close to the survivor? I drove up to them, positioned them around the entire ship and walked away for 20min and they still just swam there and didnt climb on!   poor guys, i went to the walk view and tried to jump in after them! haha

Maybe you were to far away from them.

Hi NoIce87,

Welcome to the SSE forum.
The place to ask for help on missions is on the Missions board. Bold, blue, topics on that board tell you how to post correctly.

You will need to register your license key in your forum profile to access the support boards.

Please post your question there. Meanwhile, I’ll look at that mission to see what the difficulty might be.

Regards,
Marty

Hi NoIce87,

To rescue each swimmer, you must stay within 16 meters of him for 10 seconds while keeping your speed below 5 knots. There is nothing you have to do except meet those conditions.
You may see advisories to stay within the area, etc. in the Objective notes.
Please follow the posting guidelines for future questions about missions.

Regards,
Marty
