As there is a bug for loading any feral androids scenario, is there any workaround to get pass the "Skull of the First" quest line.
Just switched it over to 44.0 (it's been on beta for a few days) which resolves this bug.
root cause was that every mission was getting "easy" difficulty. this was resulting in a lot of issues on 43.x
Feral Androids don't have an easy spawn set which was the error
Also, you were not getting anything but tier 1 equipment or XP
