This week’s ultimate challenge is to get 3 double kills.
First game with this challenge I got 4 (Fiesta).
Second game with this challenge I got 1 (Team Slayer).
Third game with this challenge I got 4 (Quick Play [Oddball]).
Challenge status still showing as 0/3.
Have raised a support ticket (with screenshots) but support can’t mark the challenge as completed. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue?
Weirdly the challenge shows as being swappable (I didn’t think ultimate challenges were).
Reluctant to try one in case it makes things worse…
This is happening to me. Earned plenty of double kills but no progress showing on the challenge screen
Same issue. I have gotten plenty of double kills on a variety of playlists. Tried restarting and relogging. Nothing has worked.
Thanks for the responses.
Sorry it’s impacting others but equally I’m glad it’s not just me.
Same issue here. But I did notice that if you look for this armor emblem in the locked portion of armor emblems in the Armor Hall, the unlock description reads “Complete all your weekly challenges plus the Capstone Challenge to earn this item.” But clearly the current Weekly Ultimate Challenge is Buddy System, not Capstone. I have also submitted a ticket for this issue with info above included. I’m now going to see if I can find out what exactly the Capstone Challenge is and see if it’s possible to unlock by completing those requirements. Wish me luck. Will provide update if any.
Update
Unsure at this point if “Capstone” is the title of a specific Weekly Ultimate Challenge, or if it’s just a term which all Weekly Ultimates fall under.
Capstone is an alternative term used for ultimate challenge, it’s not a specific challenge itself.
Seeing more and more players reporting this issue on the forums, just hope everyone is putting in support tickets as well. The more people raise it the better the chance of action being taken to resolve the issue.
Same issue here gotten multiple double kills in every gameplay. Tried every type of gameplay even bot bootcamp and nothing.
Edit: seeing a lot on the halo discord that it eventually just worked for some people
Same issue, unfortunately. Got double kills in fiesta, ranked, and quick play modes; the challenge is still showing 0/3. Its weird, was just talking with a friend about how the ultimate sacrifice emblem is making its 3rd appearance as an ‘ultimate’ reward. I dont mean to slam whoever is in charge of content monetization, but omfg guys, cut it the eff out already. Shocked we don’t have to unlock a single glove/boot at a time (like shoulders), never in 35 years of gaming have I seen a game parse out cosmetics this greedily. Looking at it from a “the first ones always free, kids” kind of perspective, it makes sense. That bothers me a LOT.
So far I’ve unlocked all of the weekly items and for me none of them have felt that rewarding and yeah I kinda feel that the emblem should maybe include armor decal, player card, weapons and vehicle decals all as one reward.
I suppose the flip side of that is those that aren’t able to complete the challenges aren’t missing out.
Ok, so the issue is affecting all playlists? It didn’t register the one’s I did in Fiesta, so I wanted to check if anyone else had the problem before trying to get them in others (where it’s not quite as easy to get them).
nope, not the only one. Got double kills in boy tactical slayer and fiesta and neither worked. best bet is to submit a ticket I guess.
Doesn’t work for me either buddy system challenge last one. Got multiple double kills in quick play, tactical slayer, ranked, big team and Fiesta. Still 0 of 3. WTF
pretty sure zero people have been able to make it work so far its just fully broken
Thanks to everyone that’s reporting this.
Still yet to hear back from the support team but if people keep reporting it then that’s got to help get it addressed.
Interestingly I’ve not seen a post from anyone saying they’ve managed to complete the challenge this week, so potentially this could be impacting all players.
I have earned multiple double kills in all game variants and not one is counting, some “Buddy System”. I hope this gets addressed soon!
Hey all. I’m sure some of you may have realised this already. But they appear to have fixed this bug now.
I just earned a double kill in a match and it registered.
Still not working as of just a few minutes for me
Received this response from support.
Thank you for your patience. The development team recently updated the Buddy System Ultimate Weekly Challenge and improved its tracking of Double Kills. There is no download necessary, but we suggests to restart the game for the players who are currently in-game.
The update will not retroactively track the Double Kills you earned previously, but the killstreaks you earn moving forward should now track properly. Halo Support also released a tweet about this update. You may check it here for more information: [REMOVED AS CAN’T LINK ON HALO WAYPOINT]
We’ll be closing this ticket now, but please feel free to submit a new one if you encounter any in-game issues.
It’s good that they’ve resolved the issue but I think it’s a bit bad that they won’t award those that can demonstrate they’ve completed the challenge the reward, ok it isn’t a difficult challenge but players shouldn’t be penalised for something that wasn’t their fault.
