How to Tackle the ‘No Access to Rift Anchor’ Error in Once Human

The first thing to know about the “no access to Rift Anchor” error is that it’s not an error at all. It’s actually a part of the game, and it means players have more work to do before activating the Rift Anchor and traveling to a new region. Here are the reasons why the “no access to Rift Anchor” message will appear:

  • More Main Story Quest Must Be Completed
    • Players will only be granted access to a Rift Anchor if they’ve completed enough main story quests to unlock it. For those seeing the message, that means there are still missions to complete. Uncompleted quests can be located on the map or in the tasks tab under the quest section.
