    Still no Pickup Blowup...

    So I entered a ticket to support about this event not registering the vehicles. I received a generic "never heard of this before, try uninstalling and reinstalling" response. They obviously do not read these forums. They cant accept that the challenges work for some and not others on a random basis. I have told them the problem lies with the ubisoft club events, not my ps4, since i have tried it on 2 different systems.

    Same issue here, actually came here looking for info about it. I've tried it in co-op and single-player with no luck. I was able to do the last event with no issue.

    Okay, let's go down the list:

    1. Did you join the activity by clicking the "join" link on the Ubisoft Club menu? In order for activities to register, that's the first step: click the link to join the event.
    2. Are you using ONLY grenades, molotovs, proximity explosives, remote explosives, dynamite, and pipe bombs? Other explosives will not work, nor will shooting the truck until it explodes. How you do it is important.
    3. Some people seem able to blow up parked, empty pickups and have it count. That hasn't worked for me. My pickups don't need to have anybody in them, but they need to be recently used by peggies. Since I've already finished the game, I reset outposts, then I go to an outpost, mine the roads with proximity explosives, cause trouble until someone hits the alarm. Whatever trucks aren't taken out by the mines, I slip over to and take out personally with my own grenades.
    4. Are you properly signed into ubisoft and ubisoft club (happens automatically for me because I'm already signed into uplay to play the game).
    5. Have you tried verifying files?

    If you've done all this, then go back to your ticket and tell them their advice didn't work. Very often support gives you the most common solution (have you tried turning it off and turning it back on? Is it plugged in? etc.) and if that doesn't fix it ... THEN they start working on your problem. Just be patient. Support for anything is often a process of elimination.

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have done all of that (except could you clarify what you meant by verify files. Im on ps4 if its relevant)

    I have used enough of the various types of explosives to blast a hole in the space-time continuum, in the process of which I have destroyed so many cult vehicles, that the peggies are now patroling on skateboards, microscooters and unicycles.

    Update

    They are now saying its a connectivity issue, wanting me to re try all the same old stuff again. And also a video of me progressing through the challenge. They don't seem to want to accept it's on their side.

    You don't need to "join" the weekly live events through the Club interface. I haven't done this for any live event and have completed them and received the rewards.

    For all three so far it's been a matter of:

    Start game, continue existing game, go to the Live Events window (tab key, click circle, click Live Event frame), wait for the server refresh, see new live event, participate.

    So now its randomly working. I actually went into arcade and then to the ubisoft arcade website, then quit and back to the game. I didnt have to do that for the roadkill challenge so i doubt that its the reason it suddenly works.

    What an absolute nightmare just to do something simple. I sympathise with you buddy, I'm also experiencing lots of problems with this.

    When I click on Live Events from the game nothing happens.

    You could try the same I suppose. At least if it starts working, we will confirm that you have to mess around to make it work.

    Start up arcade. Select the link to the Arcade website.(second page i think) Look at the club challenges from there. Then just go back to the game, blast some trucks and see if they start adding to your tally.
    You are right, it is a stupid faff on. Roadkill worked by simply adding the challenge from the club page

    For what it's worth

    I accepted the challenge the morning it started and blew up ~20 trucks with thrown explosives right then. The count stayed at 0. I figured it was just delayed. The next day, in the evening, I randomly blew up a truck and noticed that the count went to 1 right away. So I did 14 more and got the reward. No credit for initial ~20 -- it's more like accepting the challenge took hours to click in for me.
