The last update really added more problems than it supposedly fixed. I don't even see half the things on my screen as my coop friend does! Not to mention that we still cannot access our season pass/deluxe/gold edition dlc after 3+ days. Pretty broke game, sadly.
    @Ubi-Rufus, did you ever get a video of this glitch? I recently if not, I recorded it in my last play through…2 years later lol. Let me know if you still want it.

    Dear Ubisoft development, operations and delivery team, this issue was reported 2 years ago and is common on PS4. Why are ignoring this kind of technical issues requests? This might seem a minor issue to a rookie, but it is really not. You just need to get this barrel in order to get the PS4 trophy, this is the only way to get the Platinum and finish the game 100%. It's happening to so many users, why would you not fix something like that? One of your tech guys on this forum said they provided this info to tech team and now nothing? I am also a programmer and I know the pain some bugs might cause, but this is a game that made several hundreds of M$, and this is no acceptable or fair to us consumers. Most of Far Cry players are fans, buy every Ubisoft Far Cry game out there.. do, try to act accordingly

    Not fixed, not going to

    They haven't fixed it because they have your money already. I picked it up on sale. I've been reminded now why I've started to avoid their games. I usually love their games, but I've come across too many game breaking bugs with this one. It's sad.

    Using the video, entering exactly where he did, I was able to get it.

    I am so annoyed at this, this is the 2nd glitch I've come across in this game and I've been trying for over an hour now and I cannot get this barrel, starting to remember why I stopped buying Ubisoft games

    I'm really sorry about this, guys. The development team are aware of the issue, however they were unable to reproduce it last time they tried, I will update their investigation with the videos and details of this thread. Thank you so much for your patience!

    I can clearly see that its been reported 2 years go. To reproduce the bug? My partner atm is the chopper dirty momma. I started gathering them from the one in front od the bridges thats on a small island right in front of the bridge thats facing the worm in a can.
    Im not using a fast, i get teleported east. There is definitely a zone that is either not loading up (a zone to mean a square on the horizontal grid). From north west and south i get teleported 80m east of it. Then id have to swim back, somehow seems like an hexagon more than a square. Or maybe a spheric zone. I didnt take part on the game prod so i wouldnt be able to tell. It teleports me to the exact same apex of the zone, straight east from the barrel.
    If thats no enough info, let me also state that i have finished Faith before getting the quest, jacob and john are almost untouched, yet i had the first video with Jacob done in progression (where you wake up in an burning interrogation room and start killing "the weak"). I can try to give more info, but so far i believe some "condition" are not met for my character to be able to fit in that zone. Vehicles work and all, just swimming. Please give me permission to finnish every Faith's territory quests!! Its getting heavy since i try to farm some trophees on psn...

    Solution

    Hire a helicopter from the nearby Misty River Gas, fly to the spot, hover just over the water, then exit the helicopter. Then swim down and get the barrel. Seems to avoid the turbulence.

    Hey! Thank you for providing this workaround, hopefully this will work for the affected players.
