tactical strategy Aliens: Dark Descent turned out to be one of the best games in the Aliens universe. Unfortunately, it contains many bugs that can make further progress impossible. In this guide, we’ll show you how to fix a nuisance that prevents you from using elevators.
Aliens: Dark Descent is a multi-level game. To go up or down you have to use the elevators. Sometimes there are situations where they are no longer interactive. As a rule, there are no objective reasons for this – you just encountered a bug or some non-obvious game convention.

As practice shows, simple solutions to the problem, such as repeated attempts to enter the elevator, restart the game or load the last save, do not work in the vast majority of cases. However, there are effective ways to fix the error:
- Examine the nearby welded doors. If the xenomorph tries to pass through, the elevator may not be available. Kill the intruder and try again.
- Check if there are drones around. If your squad has a drone operator, scout the area and see if an ally robot is nearby. Maybe the game considers him part of your team and you can’t leave the level without him.
- Try to approach the elevator from different angles. There are situations when the elevator only activates from a certain angle. Try to approach it from different angles. The possibility of interaction can appear at a certain angle.

If none of the methods work, nothing can be done. It remains only to wait for patches or replay the game. Or you can use a third-party storage. Unfortunately, no one guarantees that you will not encounter this bug again.
