The game has stopped at the Salvation Mission Fusion Accelerator Level

Solution from RDeejay (thanks mate!) There is a room where you have to fight a wardroid and chronies, there will be a destroyed door on the other side of the room with the canister on the floor for the door on the left, now if you turn around the door you just came through will have a powered canister as well, destroy the enemies and take that one with you. This room is the last fight before you reach the elevator you have to force grip so make sure you have it with you before force gripping the elevator and dropping down, keep taking the canister to the room with all the cannons and stick it straight in and and power up the broken cannon, blow up door and run away from fight if too scared lol

Option 1A – Remove all external usb devices or
Option 1B – If you don’t want to disconnect your devices, disable them by going to
