Myself and a friend followed the instructions to fix the Because You Begged challenge (https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056553131) and both have had undesirable outcomes.
My friend was able to unlock the challenge, but a ton of his preferences - armour, loadouts, avatar, banner, service ID, clan tag etc - have been wiped.
Although following exactly the same steps (several times, trying various combinations of order, or whether steam was closed between steps), I was unable to unlock the challenge but luckily I don’t appear to have lost any data.
Can we please get a patch to fix this? Not only is it completely unreasonable to expect your users to go into their game files and potentially mess up their game, but it doesn’t work for everyone.
P.s. can we stop locking threads about this? It’s obviously not fixed and there’s going to be a lot more threads opened if you keep locking them.
They’re working on it. I was able to get it by crouch jumping as the elite was on the grass next to the truck on the right on Pillar of Autumn.

I got it too using the cloud save wipeout method. However I backed up my save files before doing it, and then put them back once I got the challenge. Picked up right where I left off with no loss of anything. Even if you didn’t back up your save, the only loss would be saved map/game variants as well as mid mission progress. Everything else is still there and can be set back to the way it was in 5-10 minutes time.
As for the bug itself, 343 has acknowledged it and is currently investigating. All you can do now is sit tight and wait for an official announcement. Don’t feel like you are running out of time as the current season is planned to go until sometime in April, according to the devs.
