I see a post about this issue but nothing on it.
I'm experiencing a blocking bug in the Ape Escape mission on the Styx map, part of the Great Hunts campaign.
Two cages are overlapping at the interaction point, making it impossible to progress in the mission.
I've tried restarting the prospect, and playing in co-op, but nothing worked.
Edit:
Tried frags and flamethrower

Sounds like you at some point abandoned and restarted the mission.
When abandoning the mission, not all prebuilt structures are being cleaned up properly; if you start the mission again, it'll place a second prebuilt structure over the first one.
Check to see if you still have a backup from BEFORE you started the mission the first time (it should be there if that's been less than 5.5 hours ago - auto backup every 30 minutes and 11 auto-backups are stored).
If you still have it, restore that backup.
You'll lose all game progress you've made after the mission, but at least you'll be able to run the mission proper.

I have no backup with it being a dedicated server. Oof. 😅 well new world it is
I have since enabled backups on my server. :3

Oh, I thought backups are enabled by default on a DS.
I run my own DS, and I don't recall having to manually enable auto-backups; afaik it was enabled by default...
As for having to start a new OW: At least you can enjoy the early game struggle again 😁
Personally I regularly start a new character on a new OW; just to keep things fresh, and to try out new character builds, new base locations and new base layouts...
