Hi
Platform:
PC
Description:
When trying to advance the challenge and meeting the challenge criteria by luring machine(s) either with radio or boombox and blowing them up by land mine, gas tank or fuel cell, the machines killed doesn’t count at all when there is(are) other machine(s) nearby who heard the explosion.
Only when there are no other machines around to hear the following explosion, the killed machines are counted towards the challenge total. This makes doing this challenge very difficult since it’s very hard to find a spot where there aren’t any other machines around.
Also, i play on Guerilla difficulty.
Edit:
After further in-depth testing, it turns out that as long as radio/ boombox is playing it’s music and at that time you blow up e.g gas tanks, then the challenge in most parts do count. While not every machine may not be counted whom you blew up, some still do.
However, if you wait until radio/ boombox finishes it’s tune, in hopes to attract as many machines to your trap as possible, the above issue comes back, where blown up machines doesn’t count if someone remains.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Check your challenge stats and make note of the current progression
- Place the explosive
- Drop the lure
- Wait for some machines to run to it, while having other machines in your proximity (hearing distance)
- Blow up the explosives, after which you should be getting white/yellow proximity arrow
- Check your challenge stats and look if any progression was made
Images / Videos:
As seen from above video, i have Tier 1 completed and Tier 2 is at 0/15. Challenge progression is shown at 0:04. I placed several gas tanks and dropped the radio. After blowing up the explosives and killing at least 5 military machines exactly as challenge states, two machines weren’t within blast radius, instead further away, but still in hearing distance. Due to that, i wasn’t credited for the killed machines when i checked challenge stats again, at 2:09. Challenge still reads 0/15.
2nd video as well for conformation:
Here, i decided to blow up several FNIX and Apocalypse hunters, despite the challenge requiring to blow up Military or higher class machines. And again, i checked my challenge stats beforehand, at 0:05, showing my current progression of 2/15, placed the explosives, lure, waited for machines to arrive and blew up the explosives. I killed at least two FNIX hunters, if not more. After which i checked my challenge stats again, at 0:46, just to see that i didn’t get credited for that one either. I’m still at 2/15.
