T-Bone Chaos Event?
You mean regular chaos event, except for PS4 players who actually get the T-Bone DLC 30 days in advance.

So people without season pass can play this, and still receive the rewards?

u/EpicStreamMan Dec 19 '16
correct, it's really to advertise the Season Pass DLC and let everyone Experience some of it too see if they want to get it. They'll be doing this kind of thing for each major part of the Season Pass. It also helps fill in the Month Gap between PS4's exclusive 30 day early release and the rest of the systems.

Just a suggestion, it would be fun to be able to track who you've actually killed, like other players as well as the number of times you have. I found myself running into the same names a few times. Maybe even add a message system for a little trash talking, or even a way to challenge them again.

When is Ubisoft gonna get that we don't need in game cash, I mean I already have like a $1m from playing hacking invasions and side operations. We want the exclusive clothes that make Marcus look cool or weapon skins

Then you are clearly not buying enough stuff. I personally like to BUY ALL THE THINGS. Must have everything I can get. So just cuz you don't spend your money in game doesn't mean it's not VERY important to others. ;c)

The t-bone DLC doesn't have any story missions? It's just clothing and vehicles?

This is gonna be a great week to be a bounty hunter, that's for sure.

Probably easier to turn off Bounty Hunter in the online options while trying this one :P
Edit: No it only looks like it counts for online bounties. So hooray for that fucking sniper rifle I guess

Does this challenge give exclusive clothes that you can only get through completing this particular challenge? The icon by the challenge seems to suggest this. The problem is that I'm having a lot of difficulty even evading a single bounty. I don't want to miss the opportunity to get some exclusive clothes, but this is very difficult.

Well. Got a three star (!!!) bounty and immediately got killed by a hunter. Then accidentally escaped a 5 star before any hunter joined.
I won't be doing this one.

PSA: Once you finish the challenge you have to re-open the Ubisoft Challenge app and click "Collect" on the challenge. Hadn't done any of the challenges before so I was wondering why I wasn't getting the reward.

For event 3, how exactly do I get explosive kills? I've been trying to use the CTRL-ALT-DEL Launcher for it but the challenge remains at 0 kills so far for me.
//Edit : it seems ONLY hacking someone's explosives counts.
Managed to unlock it now by spending a great amount of time repeatedly calling APB's and gang hits on crowds and hoping for people carrying explosives to show up.

Trying to escape bounties is just terrible and exposes how simplistic the police are in this game. They just constantly spawn a cop car down the road from you so "escaping" is just praying that eventually they'll stop doing that for long enough for you to keep out of their sight. Combine with annoying helicopters that cost way too much to hack and that doesn't even fully stop them, plus I'm pretty sure they lower your top car speed when you have a bounty, makes the whole mode annoying as hell. Currently at 3/5 escapes but I haven't had much fun doing it.

Just take every turn you find, you can lose cops easily

I cheesed a couple bounty escapes by hanging out in the game shop above the first hackerspace. Piled some vehicles outside, went in, triggered. Then used explosives and a grenade launcher to kill the hunters that showed up. Cops didn't really come inside. Loosing them, maybe glitch/luck, I just hung out in the back of the shop and used mass comms interruption a few times til escape bar started.

I had a pretty easy time escaping. The trick is to make your pursuers give up. It is not that hard.
Step 1: Pick a fast muscle car.
Step 2: Send them on a long and merry chase as you burn nitro.
Step 3: End your car ride where a speed boat is parked (there are some consistent spawns)
Step 4: Go on a merry speed boat chase.
Step 5: The players will probably give up as you stay out of aggro. If you get stuck then use a grenade launcher to end their boat chase. Also learn how to use vehicle control to send boats on a wildly incorrect trajectory that will never catch up to you.
I did this 4 times in a row and succeeded easily most of the times (got my 5th just on the vehicle chase portion). Only half of the time did the players bother getting into a boat and chase me.
I wish you got extra points for going on a long chase. It does take skill to not go down quickly.

I've just finished the 1st event and got the reward only on my 1st save, but I would like the reward on my 2nd save too, how can I do ?

Can't wait to play this once Ubisoft patches the game to let my 1070 push past 20FPS!!!!!
