Consensus seemed to be that it worked on the first play through of The Farewell for a lot of people, but not after. I wonder if it worked because it essentially considers each stage of the escalation a “fresh” play though. Especially since another user reported it still being broken.
@scat1620 when you tried to do the challenge after the patch were you playing the main mission?
Yep, playing The Farewell rather than the guru escalation.
EDIT - Tested and picked up two different bottles of wine (Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon) during my level 2 playthrough of The Gauchito Antiquity, and I didn’t get anything pop up saying “Estate Wines 1/3” or “Estate Wines 2/3”, so challenge still appears to be broken overall for the people who experienced the original bug.
Hm, I was sure it was a challenge and that was the only reason why I tried exit that way, but I couldn’t find anything about this challenge when using Google search, so maybe I remember wrong.
65 location challenges + 17 global escalation challenges + 2 challenges for beating and playing the escalation = 84 right? So it never had a manhole challenge.
They said some players were accidentally changing the perspective and likely couldn’t figure out on how to revert it. Whatever it is, it was an unwanted and unneccesary change.
Update. I told you today that on PS5 doesn’t work. I have a PC copy too and it worked. I’ve tested like 2 mins ago. I am able to reach the loadout menu now.
Apparently, no. And this is pretty bad of a change for how useful it was to check around corners. Now you gotta aim with a gund if you want to toggle between perspectives.
@Canucklehead not yet andIO has said they opened thewindow of maintenance a bit more. Hopefully it will end soon.
Well I’ve had an emotional rollercoaster over the past 24 hours. I just learned about this “feature” yesterday elsewhere, and I was excited to try it out. I still haven’t unlocked the rifle due to the insane grind required to get it. But I thought, “the Druzhina 34 has Shockwave and Wall-piercing ammo in normal levels? Oh that’s a neat feature that would make the grind worth it!”
Nope! Why bother unlocking it now? Seriously, IOI, after requiring players to grind and repeat the exact same playthrough hundreds of times to get this rifle, the least you could do is leave in an extra perk like that.
