    Is the Demolisher Firefly still bugged?

    Gonna do stage 5 of the Technician specialization for the weapon skin. Just wondering if the Firefly is viable yet.
    I know it didn't work on backpack weak points a couple months ago. Just don't want to waste time in the missions if I need to just use a DPS or tank.

    The whole mission seems bugged. I killed Ramos 20 times by destroying his backpack. I killed him while he was still being shocked by the backpack. I killed him after he got shocked. I finished the mission. I intentionally wiped a few times. Nothing I could do would finish that step of the research. I quit.

    If I remember right you need to destroy his backpack with your gun, not the demolisher firefly. You can use the blinder firefly or other CC to make it easier to target it.

    I did. The Firefly won't target him anyway. Shock traps won't target him.

    Something had to be wrong. He seemed immune to everything but bullet damage and no matter how many times I stun locked him by breaking his backpack and killed him, the research would not count.

    I too have tried to Destroy the backpacks of both "Captain Kendra Nelson" and "Private Jeremiah Ramos" on Normal or higher in Capitol Building and Lincoln Memorial respectively, but neither of them is counting.

    If this is in relation to the "Lightning Round" stage of the Technician Field Research, targets need to be destroyed with gunplay specifically, skills won't work by design

    If they still aren't counting using the proper methods, please can you get a clip of this for us so we can forward it to the team?

    Not the lightning round. It's the kill Ramos by destroying his backpack. I did it half a dozen times (that I know were correct) and it won't count. The backpack pops and he gets shocked and stun locked but when I kill him while he's stun locked, it doesn't count.

    I did it with only my gun. Mostly because no skills will target him anyway. I mean, a drone will kill him but the Firefly and Shock trap will not target him.

    I tried about 20 times because I couldn't figure out a combination. My DPS build killed him too fast and his backpack wouldn't pop even if I shot him directly in the backpack. My tanky build wouldn't work because after I popped the backpack, I couldn't kill him fast enough before the stun lock wore off. I figured he had to be killed while still shocked.

    I just gave up. I didn't record anything. Sorry.
