    Armor Breaker Distinction Bug?

    So, I've completed the commedation multiple times. I've been awarded the achievement that goes along with it, but it still hasn't gone through. I break both leg armors, both arm armors, the chest and then the helmet, then I kill the elite. I've read that this is a common issue but I really don't feel like trying this every time I run into a heavy armored elite. Any way to get past this bug?

    I can confirm that this is a known issue and has been reported to the dev team who are investigating.

    We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

    Hmm I never noticed that this was an issue until you pointed it out. I don't have the commendation either. Wasn't doing this same one of the field research requirements for one of the specializations (Demolitionist, I think?) You had to break all the armor pieces on Basilisk, was it? One of the sub-bosses on Roosevelt island.

    I did that...not sure I did the helmet last though. I got the achievement a while ago, but I believe that was just from launching a grenade, which I'm assuming broke all his armor and killed him in one shot.

    I don't have the game in front of me right now, but is it possible that the wording of the requirements are slightly different for the commendation and the achievement and we just haven't done exactly what it's asking?

    armor breaker recomendation

    I've done this 4 times now, exactly as the game asks, i unlocked the achievement on both pc and xbox version. but not the commendation. even if i strike all without missing a single shot. i'm not getting the commendations. is this still bugged??? and it frustrates me as i don't want to do this one over and over.

    can confirm that this is still broken. just had my clan and a few other friends, who haven’t gotten the commendation yet, solo test it. we tried normal tanks, named tanks, basilisk, pistol fight, rifles, every factions’ tanks, you name the method we tried it.
    its really annoying that even after 4 weeks it has not been fixed nor has ubisoft made any announcements on this bug or any of the other commendations with bugs.

    edit: commendation that are broken.
    the following are the ones I’ve noticed (please confirm or counter them if you have done them in the past week)
    armor breaker distinction

    Got the achievement pop today but the commendation is still listed as not complete.

    Side note for above poster,I have the elite accuracy award, got it about a month ago, of course its possible it has broken during the time that's passed.

    I have the trophy but not the commendation, I’d agree it’s still broke.

    Any ETA on fixing this? Just killed 4 heavies (elite story, elite challenge, and bounty named) exactly as required and no commendation credit. Ugh - so frustrating and time consuming!
