    Old Betsy Fishing Rod Not Unlocking

    A couple days ago I broke every fishing record and got the Old Betsy Fishing Rod. But then I noticed that another glitch bugged out the Nick Rye missions. Knowing this lack of 100% completion would annoy me, I revived an old save and started completing missions a second time. I went back to all the fishing spots and caught the record-breaking fish size. (Worth mentioning that no indication of broken a record ever comes up. Some people seem to indicate that they get this notification.)

    I did exactly as I did on the previous save and went to one of the record boards after catching my last Sturgeon. Then I went to the Shop and went to the Fishing Rods. No Old Betsy Rod available. I quit out of the game and tried again. I checked the board at both the jail and the Whitetail HQ (I haven't unlocked the board location in John's region yet). All the fish have blue ribbons but still no rod available. What happened?

    I quit the game to escape one bug and ran into a completely new one, all the more frustrating because it followed a worthless grind session.

    I did notice that my Ubisoft account achievement for getting the rod was activated on the previous playthrough. Is this wrecking havoc on my second one? Any insight would be appreciated.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are not able to access that specific item this time around. Please send me a PM with a screenshot of the Ubisoft Club action and showing that you are not able to get it in game. I will look into this for you.

    Thanks, will do. I did notice today that the achievement didn't unlock on uplay. It was sandwiched between two completed ones so I mistook it as one that I had completed. That said, I'll send images of my game not unlocking the rod. I went back to the old save and tried again to unlock everything but to no avail.

    Just to confirm, you actually don't need to unlocked that achievement In-Game to get the Rod so that shouldn't be the cause of the issue.

    Thanks

    BUG - old betsy not unlocking

    I’m on PC, logged in to Ubisoft club and uplay. All blue ribbons are present on all three boards: wolf’s den, falls end, county jail. Saved and restarted the game, all ribbons are there, still no old betsy rod. I even ran “verify files” on uplay, restarted computer, etc. The achievement is present in uplay, but I only have the basic rod now?! I had at least all three earlier. Please help!
