What happens when the bug occurs? I am stuck on the loot legendary items as Loba. I played a bit when her challenges first came out and I am on 4/10. Since the latest update no matter how I loot a legendary item it doesn't count so I can't complete the challenge. I have tried looting gold items off the floor, from deathboxes, from the black market and nothing counts.
What should be happening instead? I should be picking up a gold item and it should increase by 1 each time I loot one as far as I understand.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure how to answer this other than to say I can provide a clip of it not working. I am really not sure how to proceed with this but will be pretty disappointed if I am unable to get the skin because of a bug with the latest update.

‌

As stated above since the latest update no matter how I loot a legendary item it doesn't count towards Lobas challenge, so I am stuck on 4/10 which is stopping me from being able to receive the flatline recolour. Any help would be really appreciated. Many thanks.

    Okay so if anyone finds this thread or is having the same issue I managed to get my challenge finished and here is what worked for me: 

    Normal BR Trios, looting gold attachments via black market that go on a gun I already had equipped (havoc, PK etc). In some instances It counted if I finished the game with a gold attachment for a gun I didn't have but that I'd kept all game eg; I found a gold heavy mag and I kept it in my bag whilst looking for a heavy gun, didn't end up finding one but when I finished the game it was still in my bag and when I got back to the lobby it had counted (checking the challenges in game the number hadn't increased, but as soon as I went back to the lobby it went up). 

    I hope this helps anyone else that has this challenge outstanding.

    Sorry I didn’t see your reply. 

    Have you had any luck? 

    What worked for me is what I said above but it only worked in normal BR, not in mixtape or three strikes. 

    And the best one that worked was looting a gold attachment for a gun I already had equipped, like a turbocharger for a havoc etc. 

    As I mentioned if I looted just any gold attachment it would count but only if I kept it in my inventory the entire game. 

    Also I’m not sure about this one but I wonder if you have to be the “first” player to loot it. Someone dropped me a gold helmet in one game and that didn’t count at all.

    I've played every mode now and looted untouched Items and am stuck on 0/10 for the Loba legendary item challenge.

    I think it only works when you use Black Market to loot a gold (or it just works randomly idk)

    Glad you got it working! 

    Yeah mine seemed a bit random too. Like one game I am sure it didn't count a gold item I picked up, but then another game it counted it but I died with it in my bag so I'm not sure if that's why. 

    What seemed most consistent for me was having a gun that can take a gold attachment equipped, then looting a gold attachment for it from the market. 

    Either way glad you got it done. I honestly thought this challenge was going to stop me getting the reactive skin and I've wanted it for so long as I didn't play Apex when the originals were around.

    Have you had any luck since posting? 

    Did you try what I suggested worked for me where you have a gun equipped eg Havoc and then from the marketplace you loot gold mag/turbocharger etc? When I did this method I could see the challenge had updated in game.
