Summarize your bug Player Tag assignment not tracking. The Tag is "Frequent Flyer". I at least had 2 seperated times use McKay Grapping Hook to damage enemy player and still no count. Other Player Tag assignments working just fine. I dont know if the requirement is show incorrectly or something else
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Damage enemy player with Grapping Hook of Specialist MacKay
What happens when the bug occurs? Assignment not tracking when doing the correct requirement
What should be happening instead? Assignment track properly

update 1: it does track now, but the requirement is difference from what is actually track.The assignment count the number of time I using the Grappling Hook to damage enemy player, not the total amount of damage.

update 2: The other requirement "Kills while ziplining" does track but only track for using horizontal zipline, vertical zipline does not counted

    After some testing with the grapple hook without any progress towards the 20 damage you're supposed to deal with it, i finally figured out the solution.

    Apparently the ingame description of this requirement is completely wrong compared to what's actually triggering/counting for it. 

    Actual requirement should be like:

    --> "Enemies killed while in air 0/20" (maybe only while parachuting)

    So as i tested it, you actually have to kill (not only damage) 20 enemies while you're in the air. 

    The Specialist you play doesn't matter for this!

    Me and my friend tested this with regular primary weapons while in air with a parachute and this worked for sure. 🙌

    Even tho, probably all primary/secondary weapons and maybe also gadgets work. Maybe even air vehicles could count towards it but that would need some testing to confirm. (i can't, as i already finished 20/20 now)

    If kills by air vehicles count too, then the game might just register you as "being in air" but in case air vehicles do not count then you have to be actually in air by yourself (which then means parachute)

  • Zip line kills are not tracking either.  My regular squad mate has the same issue.  Numbers sometimes change but without a pattern that matches what I do in game.

    the ziplne kill does track for me. But only apply for horizontal zipline, Vertical zipline not counting

  • Thanks for that.  You are absolutely right.  Was stuck on 4 going up and down on the long ones.  Switch to horizontals and got them in 3 games.  Cheers.

    Grapple damage stuck on 17 despite many hits.  Not even sure how I got to 17 in the first place!

    i dont think kill using Air vehicles count. So it might only count the kill with normal weapons/gadget. I will try again and see

    You, sir, are a legend.  Went parachuting and killed a couple of guys and got the tag.  That would explain why I got so many without realising it in the first place when Exposure came out.  All done now.  Thanks for that!

    Edit: just adding that I think jumping off the ground and shooting someone counts as I got one while inside the B point having grapple hooked close to someone and bunny hoping around and killed them.

    @1cfdk1a962nq 🙌

    Yeah, maybe even being in mid air while jumping/falling and killing someone in that moment could count. Not sure if you actually need a parachute.

    But anyways, it's good to know what's actually triggering it. 😉

    Hopefully this issue will be addressed soon so the description actually fits the things you have to do for it to reach 20/20.

    Have fun. 🙂
