Elusive targets ”UNDYING RETURNS (2024)” and Arcade ”THE OROBOROUS” bug.
There is a “Mission Story -The Triumph” in the challenge list, but this mission story does not occur.
Perhaps it would be a mistake to exist on the list.

  1. “UNDYING RETURNS (2024)” or start ARCADE Arcade “THE OROBOROUS”.
    2.Go to the marina where the “Mission Story - The Triumph” takes place.
    3.Even if you listen to the end of the conversation, the mission story will not occur.

Occurrence frequency:
Always.

@Tom-Kannaduki I assume it’s not bugs, they rather features.
Have you ever experienced completing “regular” challenges in Arcade or Elusive Targets?
Because I never witnessed it.
I may be wrong here though, because I have completed all the major challenges in a storyline or contracts and by the time Arcade have seen the light I had nothing left to achieve except those bounded or ETs/Arcade specific challenges

The issue is that the challenges show as being completable in the Arcade, but they’re not available in that mission.

If a challenge isn’t completable in a particular contract, it usually doesn’t appear in the lists - ie you wouldn’t expect to see the challenge to get Silent Assassin on Showstopper when playing The Forger ET.

I am a player who likes to accomplish challenges, so I create multiple game accounts and research achievement requirements.
Most of the challenges on the challenge list are campaign-specific, but there are a few that can be completed in other modes, such as Contract and Escalation.
The “Arms Dealer” challenge is one of the challenges that can be achieved in multiple modes that are also listed in Contracts and Escalation.
If it is on the challenge list, it should be achievable even if it is an elusive target contract.
If not, it is probably a bug.

The image shows the list of challenges in “BigMooney” escalation.
“Arms Dealer” is also listed as attainable here.

Here is a link to a video of the “Undying Returns (2024)” that I played today.
The “VIP” challenge was achieved even with an elusive target.

This challenge is attached to location itself, meaning that it’s available in several gamemodes, including Arcade or ET for sure. The reason is that this challenge doesn’t regard these researchers as so-called ‘researcher’ because they are added to this map newly.

New York (and possibly other instances with the same setup)

If you time activating the aircon after putting chloroform in the unit with an NPC being woken up, they’ll become immune to the gas and create this XP farm.

Edit: Did some playing around and have been able to consistently replicate this now. If at least two people are KO’d, let one person get woken up. When the second KO’d person is in the process of being woken up and you turn the aircon back on, they become immune as long as the first person is still going through their waking up animation by standing there groggy at the same time.

Colorado

If you haven’t completed the Campaign mission before and are forced to use the Tornado Shelter exit, the exit marker that gets placed on the face scanner is in the H1-style for the exit markers. It has the rounded corners rather than being the perfect square that is used everywhere else in the game.

Extremely, extremely minor thing but still something that was overlooked in the past.

Hokkaido (Freelancer, not alerted)
Noticed a bug and a cosmetic error:
Bug: If you kill someone in the room with the weapons dealer and put the target in the crate, the dealer always acts as there’s someone around and won’t stop his loop of sweeping.
Cosmetic: If you bump into the dealer while he’s sweeping the broom disappears

Despite there not visually being a puddle, the game treats the area as having a puddle. It can be electrified.
