Crimson Moon Loadout Station Not Available: Bug or Active Run?

OFFICIAL PATCH RECORD

The most likely explanation

If the Loadout Station is unavailable or appears above the player after returning to Sanctus Clypeus, Team Metal says the player is still in an active run. The hub visit between missions does not reset that run.

The intended lock lasts through three missions and the World Boss. It clears only when the complete run ends through victory or death. This is a system clarification from the developer, not a community workaround.

Two-minute diagnosis

• Check whether the World Boss has been completed
• Check whether the character has died and returned after the run ended
• If neither happened, continue the current mission sequence
• Do not reinstall the game or delete a save to bypass an intended lock
• After a true run end, restart once and consult official support if the station remains inaccessible

Why the station locks

The pre-run loadout establishes the permanent equipment and Angel taken into the hunt. During the run, Nexus Gates add temporary Boons and discovered equipment can change the current decision space. Locking the station preserves the committed run structure while those temporary choices evolve.

The developer has acknowledged that this behavior was not explained clearly enough in game and is considering communication improvements. That acknowledgement does not mean every inaccessible station is a software defect.

When to file a support report

Report the issue only after the full run has ended and the station is still unavailable. Include the platform, whether the run ended by victory or death, the last mission reached, co-op or solo status and a screenshot. Avoid claiming that the intended between-mission lock is a bug.

• Use the official known-issues and support channel
• Keep the affected save intact
• Do not use unverified file deletion steps
• Retest after any official patch and record the version
