    I think I sent Codsworth for supply chain. It´s like a month back, so I don´t recall it that well, but yeah, I think you can do it.

    I have encountered what appears to be a very common problem with the "Fire Support" quest where Danse keeps saying "Check your fire, we've got hostiles".

    I'm playing on survival, so no hard saves to return to. 

    I did not go near the location previously (it pops the quests updates as I approach, so I know this to be correct)

    I have now tried a dozen times, running from Hangman's Alley. Same glitch. Searched the entire area, lobbed grenades onto the roof, done a very wide perimeter, went away and waited for days and still can't get past it.

    Any other suggestions, or do I need to restart the game (level 21 on survival, playing as an automatic weapon commando, so it's been TOUGH!)

    Oh, this is on the PS4.

    I looked into this, and it seems to be a pretty common problem. Unfortunately, everybody and their mother seems to have a different fix for it that doesn't work for anyone else. I'd try tweaking it a little bit, coming from different areas and stuff like that. If it doesn't work, a restart would be the best option before you get too much further.

    The wiki has fix suggestions for PS4 and PC

    Like PCTY said, I'd try approaching from all different directions

    I tried from the four possible directions already, there is clearly something spawned earlier that is inside an inaccessible building. Gone up on the roof areas as much as possible, nothing there, explored every building, nook and cranny.

    Decided to start a new toon. With what I learnt doing the 1st 20 or so levels as a commando perk build it is already lvl 7 and going much easier.

    About to try Fire Support again, hopefully I can manage at this level and it won't bug out.

    New toon got through the quest without any issue on first try at level 7. I approached it exactly the same way as the glitched one. Clearly something needs to be done by Bethesda to resolve this!

    Saved on three Fusion Cores by passing speech check for getting in Vault 81. Overseers Guardian at level 10. Wooohoo. Kellogg ain't gonna stand a chance for Reunions quest!

    Makes up for the lost time on the other toon.

    Contraptions DLC did not seem very useful or exciting to me really in any way. BUT...I am currently building a automatic weapon only character and have been spending all of my loot/caps on keeping my clips full. Even with scrounger 2 at early levels, it's been tough to stay on top of the ammo hungry automatic rifles. 

    Enter factories! So I haven't tested this yet to see if the cost to scrap ratio is worth it, but you can build factories using the new Contraptions DLC, that produce all sorts of items including ammo.

    The perks required are only gun nut 1 and science 1. Not too bad. It does require resources, but not too bad either. I'll be giving this a go and reporting back. Here's some additional reading from off-site

    You can make ammo? That's great, both for roleplaying and... Does Survival Mode makes ammo rare?
