So I just got done running both the Pentagon and Darpa Research Labs Missions for the Venus Manhunt. this was the first time this character has been to either Mission. Neither of them counted. Even after the screen saying Mission Complete. I had even checked my Manhunt Progress before opening the Darpa Labs door from the Mission area. It didn't say I completed the Pentagon.... I can understand it not triggering, because of the events that you have to go through. However they should still trigger given I ran them. Like the event say I have to, but I don't want to have to rerun them. As they are not two of my favorite Missions to run....
Sorry no one has replied.
From what I have read on other threads you have to complete it twice if you do the mission/missions for the first time during the manhunt. I can’t say that is 100% true or not since I had completed both missions before the manhunt began. There might be more info on this topic in other threads relating to these two missions.
I do realize this isn’t much help and I am sorry for that.
Have you tried doing it in a group? I prefer to play solo but last week I couldn’t finish/complete the camp white oak mission due to invisible rusher enemies and had to join someone else’s session to clear the invasion to unlock the district union arena stronghold. I know this isn’t perfect but it is a type of workaround that worked for me.
You might also have to be on world tier 5. I’ve read that some activities are locked behind world tier 5. Like control point levels not increasing. But I am unsure about the manhunt progression. I know if I am not on challenging I get a warning saying manhunt progression might not count due to difficulty levels.
If your personal global difficulty is set to Challenging it will not count towards the manhunt if you join someone else's world that is set to Hard difficulty (or any lower difficulty than your own personal global setting). If this is the case you should get the notification (as Scootsu stated above) that it may not count towards Manhunt progress.
If this is the first time you have run these missions then the difficulty will be set (and fixed) to Story mode.
The lowest global world difficulty allowed is Normal.
Story mode missions WILL NOT count towards the manhunt as they are lower than your current Global world difficulty setting.
Kap.
I just ran into this today. with Darpa. I had completed both Pentagon and Darpa previously on this character. I am now progressing through Manhunts and get to Darpa as the last one for Venus. I am on Hard difficulty. World map shows "Main Mission - Completed" and then just below that in yellow "Manhunt Mission available on Normal difficulty or higher. Map also shows Hard difficulty for my world tier. Ran it solo. Got "Mission Complete" notification at the end. No Venus status update. Check Manhunts - Darpa still shows 0/1. Fast travel back to Pentagon Library Safe House. Fast Travel back to BOO. Logout. Login. Run mission in a group. None of us get credit for it. Logout. Login. Run it solo again. Don't get credit - Venus still 0/1 for Darpa.![]()
I don’t remember manhunts being lower than challenging. I always got a notification when joining others playing hard that manhunt activities might not count if not done on a lower tier or whatever the exact warning is.
I’ve always completed them on challenging myself and haven’t had any problems with it. Well other than the above mentioned notification.
Have you tried doing the mission on challenging to see if that works? I guess they could have lowered the minimum requirement on manhunts but I do not remember reading that anywhere. I know some people were upset with leagues when DARPA was on heroic in order to complete the league but that is separate from manhunts.
