    What's going on with the hunters and their Ivory Keys?

    I have all 12 masks from the hunters. Between killing hunters on my map and joining friends on their maps, in their sessions, I have killed a total of 24 hunters and only have 5 of the 8 Ivory Keys. What's the issue? Are the hunters bugged? Is it a luck of the draw? Are some of us just not going to be able to open the Ivory Keys create because we weren't lucky enough? This have been an issue long enough that we should have an answer by now as to whats going on. This is an issue that is to random and all over the board from posts I've read. Some people have 12 masks and only 3 keys, some have 12 masks and 7 keys and everywhere in between. Can Ubisoft and or the Dev's please give us some sort of Info on this? Is it a bug and being worked on? Do they even care that some of the content isn't working? Can they not figure out the issue yet? Can they just give us the 8 keys if we have all 12 masks? Some sort of info about this would be nice. Everyone I know has this issue and hasn't gotten 8 keys. People are aggravated so something to know would be at least some comfort for some of us. Thank you.

    I still cannot get the Spectre hunter to spawn. I have tried everything possible many, many, many times and nothing. Its completely bugged for some people.

    Spawned him twice. AFAIK I spawned all of the Hunters how they were meant to be spawned and got all 8 of my keys. For Specter, try shooting the bottom row of the bottom windows and the top row of the top windows (13 total shots I believe) at night.

    I lost count of how many hunters I have killed.

    I only have 6 keys.

    It's bugged and yes, I'm salty that nobody is trying to fix it.

    Hunters are a sort of two-fold challenge; combat and puzzle. The masks are a guaranteed drop from killing them - akin to a gunplay challenge. But the Ivory Keys are rewards from solving their puzzles in the process. Some Hunters can be, in essence, brute-forced and killed without solving their puzzle, giving a mask but no key.

    Sorry but this plain wrong.

    Doesnt matter what you do. I did everything right on my first character and did not get 2 of the Ivory Keys and apparently never can because you cannot respawn the Hunters. Doing it in someone else's session doesnt drop the keys either. So that character is stuck at 6 of 8 keys.

    Yet on my 2nd character I ignored all the puzzle garbage and just spawned the hunters and got all 8 keys.

    Regardless, the reward from the Ivory Box is lackluster and I pity anyone that opened it prior to being gearscore 500.

    brute-forced is pushing it, one of them came out of a random door in a random alley and ignored me just to start sprinting. i killed him with a volley in the back of his neck and he died. got a mask and no key.

    no brute-force needed that dude just appeared without me trying to trigger anything. lol
    did i burn that key? idk, but if so it should be looked at to make sure nobody can trigger a hunter without actually going for it.

    The more reply,s i see from ubi,s the more i think about giving up this game as a bad joke..brute forced ?.. and no key ?. lol that is one excuse ?.. But we all onow it is broke, hunters are broke, just like the loot table ?... If i got a ubi saying the game has broke and we are having problems fixing it , all would be well , at least we would know what is going on.. All the excuses of it is the player not the game, ..

    after the first 7 riddles were solved i just had 6 keys .
    the last riddle the 8th one got fixed after a patch . but my character still have 7/8 keys even with all 12 masks and all riddles solved.

    so i made 2nd char and did all 8 riddles again.
    and it worked 8/8 keys .

    my 1st character are never able to open the box , so ye its a bug .
    sitting on 7/8 keys with it CANT re do the riddles for last key .

    IF U WANT 8/8 keys make it on ur OWN MAP , dont join anybody.
    well cuz of some youtuber/ streamer misseused some exploits farming keys by joining on firends lobbys .
    massive fixed it .
    but some of us didnt get all the keys cuz of those glitch exploiters.

    ofc with a 2nd its working . BUT U SHOULDNT BE FORCEd TO LVL UP 2nd CHAR just for THIS :
    SO MASSIV SHOULD GIVE THE LAST KEYS to THEM WHICH having the problem in my opinion .

    u CANT SAY to People MAKE 2nd char if u want the 8 keys .
    its just a no-go in my eyes
