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.
