Official media referenceDirect answer
For the documented VIP interaction, move beside the officer and look for Bind and Carry Body in the unit ability bar; if they do not appear, the developer requests a save and screenshot.
How to use this page
The direct developer answer is more reliable than generic mission videos because it also acknowledges that a missing interaction can be a script problem.
What is verified
- Stand adjacent to the target before checking contextual abilities.
- Confirm the target is in the required incapacitated state.
- Do not kill the VIP if the objective requires capture.
- Keep a pre-interaction save for bug reporting and recovery.
Evidence scope
Verified against sources on August 14, 2026The strongest public evidence for Glorious Tempest concerns the VIP interaction: the developer says Bind and Carry Body should appear when the player is beside the incapacitated target, and asks for a save and screenshot when they do not. Other mission steps remain version-sensitive.
Capture rather than kill the VIP
When the objective requires a living VIP, treat the target as an interaction problem. Reduce the target to the required incapacitated state, move a suitable unit beside it and inspect the ability bar for Bind and Carry Body. Do not assume that simply standing nearby completes the objective; the target state and the contextual ability both matter.
- Keep the VIP alive if capture is the objective.
- Stand adjacent before checking contextual abilities.
- Record the target state and ability bar if the prompt is missing.
A safe extraction sequence
Capture missions create two risks at once: the target can be lost and the squad can be trapped while carrying it. Secure the route to extraction before committing the carrier, keep another soldier able to respond and avoid placing the carrier in the only firing lane. If the game presents a separate evacuation objective, follow that text instead of importing a generic elimination rule.
- Scout the extraction route before carrying when possible.
- Keep the carrier supported rather than isolated.
- Read the mission result conditions before ending the turn.
When Bind or Carry Body is missing
The developer's request for a save and screenshot means a missing ability may be a script or state problem, not a secret control. Reload a save from before the incapacitation, confirm the target is the intended officer and move the unit adjacent again. If the prompt still fails, report the build, objective text, target state and save rather than using an unsafe external fix.
- Reload the pre-interaction save once.
- Verify the target and its incapacitated state.
- Send reproducible evidence to the developer if it persists.
VIP capture checklist
- Read whether the objective requires capture or elimination.
- Keep the VIP alive and in the required incapacitated state.
- Move beside the target and check Bind and Carry Body.
- Save before the interaction and before extraction.
- Record a missing prompt with build, save and screenshot.
Frequently asked questions
How do I bind the VIP in Glorious Tempest?
Move beside the incapacitated officer and look for Bind in the unit ability bar. If it is absent, reload once and report the state with a save and screenshot.
Can I kill the VIP first?
Not when the objective requires capture. Killing the target can make the mission impossible or invalidate the intended interaction.
Is a missing Carry Body prompt a hidden requirement?
Not necessarily. The developer specifically asks for saves and screenshots when the ability does not appear, so a script or target-state issue is possible.
