        I just finished the whole game. Completed all main AND side missions...except this one because you can't rescue him. It doesn't give you the prompt to even talk to Ubi. He cowars behind a vehicle and nothing you do fixes it. It's bothering the **** out of me because I can't finish the game 100% now..

          Let’s ignore the fact that this quest is bugged for and literally can’t be completed by a majority of players.

            This quest is ****ing bugged. I've killed all of the enemies surrounding him but he just sits there like a little *****, not allowing me to interact with him.

              At the last section where I have to rescue Ubi, i've killed all the enemies but he's still cowering behind his vehicle, mission seems to be bugged. I'm on PC by the way. If anyone has figured out a fix plz let me know!
