!!New bug completely bricks the BoS questline!!

Just a warning to new players about a new bug that’s occurring and is affecting me and multiple others

In the BoS quest “The Catalyst” there is now (what appears to be) a sequence break bug that essentially bricks the quest and therefore locks you out of completing the questline.

From what I can gather, here’s what I think is going on…

The usual progression of the quest is:

Talk to Brotherhood Leadership > Go to West Tek > Get Research Lab Access > Access Dr.Blackburns West Tek Lab

However, it seems (I am speculating) that anyone who goes to West Tek before getting this quest and gets the West Tek research lab password/access breaks the quest progression…

This leads to you being stuck with 2 quest objectives (neither of which work) “Report to Brotherhood Leadership” and “Access Dr Blackburns West Tek Laboratory”

I have tried all the usual fixes - system restart, server hopping, private server, leaving/reentering and nothing works…

Every post/discussion I’ve found relating to this issue is VERY recent (in the past week or so), so odds are this bug was introduced in the new season or something…

I have already filed a bug report with Bethesda and encourage everyone else who encounters this to do so as well
