    Photo of Reanimated Enemy - Xbox OneS

    Xbox OneS, here. Has anyone been able to complete this challenge? What are the parameters needed to fulfill the task? Specifically, is there a distance from enemy requirement (<5 m) and/or do we need to enter the in-game photo mode?

    I managed to capture several images of reanimated enemies yesterday, but none counted towards the challenge. I was able to get pretty close, within a meter (2-3 feet) and it still didn't count. The only thing I haven't done is enter the in-game photo mode; which would require two additional button presses before the two needed to capture a screen shot, a total of four functions to capture an image before being killed, or the enemy being downed.

    Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

    And that's exactly what you need to do. The game won't be able to know that you took a screenshot with your console/pc/smartphone. The objective is based on the in-game photo mode.

    Which is an absolute PITA to use and why I don't bother with that challenge, especially now since we just have to have the event active to get the stars for the items of the event.

    I finally managed to complete this challenge. It was terrible. Attempting to enter "Photo Mode" one Xbox One requires hitting the menu button and then holding X, and from there pressing the Xbox button and hitting Y for screen capture. This takes about two or three seconds to complete; in this time the enemy can die, move out of the screen, or kill me. All result in no capture. I actually have about 10 or 12 captures of reanimated enemies and only five of them counted and none counted for my group members. And all of that work for one star.

    It's the same on pc with a controller, but it isn't as difficult as it seems. You just have to kill an enemy, then go through the multiple inputs to set up the in game camera, and at the same time you are ready to take a picture, the enemy will be reanimating. Picture mode doesn't freeze time, so the reanimation will occur normally.

    But-it only counts each photo taken, not the number of enemies in the photo, so don't expect to complete it with just one photo.

    How many key strokes are needed to get the capture? Do you have to enter an in-game photo mode before hitting the screen shot keys?

    I play on pc with a controller ( I know, I'm weird), but you just kill the closest enemy, then hit start ( the three horizontal line buttons on the XBox One controller), hold X for photo mode, then hit A to capture ( take the photo). By the time you are ready to take the photo ( if you started the process as soon as you first killed the enemy), the enemy should reanimate right in front of you as soon as you are ready to take the photo.

    It only works on one enemy at a time, so even if you have 6 enemies on your photo, it will only count 1 toward the project. You need 5 different photos of reanimated enemies. It doesn't matter if it's just one or more in the photo.

    Edit: BrokenFire, you must use the in-game photo mode and the key/button to take the photo from the prompt it provides; the game cannot detect a screenshot from anything else.

    Just do Bank mission where there are 2 locations that are easy to take photos from.
    1st is when you look down and see the President for the 1st time.
    2nd on the walk way where the President takes the helicopter.
    Both locations you can shoot an enemy and have time to get a photo
    2nd location, once they have reanimated they cannot get so you so you can take your time, hiding behind cover.

    Never understood why Xbox never let us map a button for screenshots, it's not a problem with the new controller as it has a screenshot button now.
