    Still Glitched

    Still Glitched for me. Second play through, cant remember if it did I the first time. But someone suggested hiring a helicopter, I just air dropped at the ace where you get the quest then parachuted to the barrel and closed the parachute right above it, was able to swim down and grab it before it pushed me away.

    So it's sorted out for you? Apologies if I've misunderstood your post. If that's the case then that's perfect. I'll report this to the team to get them to update this as a known workaround now that we've had a few reports of success.

    I guess I found a solution?

    I think that this wasn't even a glitch, maybe it was done on purpose. I suppose that the "glitch" we're saying is a stream, a really fast and a strong one. So all you gotta do is use a fastener in order to swim against. I've tested it and it worked. Though it didn't make the stream totally gone away, it just gained me enough time to hold square while I was swimming.

    Glitching

    I can’t get anywhere near it even trying to drop right on top of it, I just get thrown away down stream

    Hey GRIFFER3, I'm sorry to hear that this issue is affecting you at present. Have you tried the workarounds posted throughout this thread, such as to parachute from a helicopter above the barrel, or swim straight to it from the marker?

    If you're unable to reach the barrel after trying these workarounds, can you please provide a video demonstrating this?

    Woohoo this worked for me. Just bought the game and still had this glitch.. Unbelievable but getting the chopper and bailing out over the barrel worked first time.

    I have just tried it with the chopper. Hovered right over the barrel, jumped out and dived right down and didn't hit any under water 'currents'

    Glitch dissappears

    Just thought I would add that after using the chopper to get the barrel, the glitch seems to have disspeard.. I can swim underwater and there is no 'current' pushing me away... I can swim right up to the red Cross when I couldn't before
