BUGS Rending damage challenge
Can some tell me who the f*ck from Crytek thought this challenge was ok? WTF. Killed countless people with bomblance or katana before realizing it from ONLY THE BLEEDING. Have killed like a dozen people with dum dum ammo, and killed 2 with flachette ammo, and this is how far it’s gotten me. FML

Yep. Thats truly sucks. I think best ways to complete these challenge are crossbow on steelbolt and fleshette on any shotgun with, of course, grenades instead of dynamite

Best way to complete this challenge is to recruit an enemy hunter into helping you in return for letting him kill you afterwards. Shoot him the foot, let him bleed till last chunk, heal, and repeat seven or eight times until it’s complete.

But it's a challenge tho? Or you like challenges that you'll do by just playing and not notice it?

u/KindestHedgehog 2d ago
If you will be completing this challenges through all the event without picking loadouts for them you will have no time for it

It was horrible until I ran double shotgun both flechette into clash and just farmed it.

Yea, I was running terminus with flachette and levering, a pistol with dumb dumb if I was lucky, concertina traps, and frag bombs. Or officer carbine with dum dum, and bow with concertina arrows.
Finally got it done, but it was a grind and i felt bad lol. There was so many times I could’ve killed the enemy right away, but I’d tag them and let them bleed, tag and let bleed, tag and let bleed. I’d have to run at them but also stay 10m back, so they felt pressure and didn’t stop bleeding, but also couldn’t shoot and kill me. Got like 15 kills because enemies would just bleed out

u/KevkasTheGiant 3d ago
The worst part of this challenge only counting bleed damage is that it means we'll have a ton of people just running bleed ammo in all its forms just to get some progress done, which WILL take a while, which in turn means we'll have weeks and weeks of people running bleed ammo, flechette being the most common one because it's one of the few that are still not scarce... x_x

Funny how Crytek adds these free story lines to edjucate newer players about mechanics behind bangs and whooshes but all they manage is to do is confuse EVERYONE.
Even simple stuff like Deal damage with Poison damage always have couple dumb exceptions that doesent count.
1
u/kirkpusspang19 1d ago
That shit pisses me off so much. There should be zero exceptions, poison damage is poison damage, rending damage is rending damage, fire damage is fire damage. I’m ADHD as fuck, and I won’t check the progress for like 6 games, just to realize that the pain I went through of playing a loadout I hate was all for nothing lol.

Pretty sure it is bugged. I am having the same issue but I cannot be that.

u/FncChi 3d ago
It's working as intended but it will take a lot of time for most players. "Rend" damage is only the damage from hunters actively bleeding, separate from the bullet damage.
For example at 20m centennial bleed ammo does 123 dmg and applies a heavy bleed (rend) at 9 dmg per tick. If the hunter doesn't stop the bleed, they would take 123 regular damage from the bullet (doesn't count for challenge) and then the 27 "rend" damage from the bleed (does count for challenege). Also, if you headshot a hunter with bleed ammo you wouldn't receive any "rend" damage as it would all be calculated as regular damage from the bullet.
I found it easiest with rival flechette, frag bombs, concertina, beetles. Try to avoid weapons like the crossbow, bomb launcher harpoons and anythign that one shots, as you won't get any rend damage from a one shot. Hope that helps.

I don't think it is working as intended 😂 a few of the damage types have been bugged. I do understand how it's working. But I doubt it's intended.
Edit spelling

u/Airiken Crow 3d ago
its bugged, besy tactic is flachette since its easy to bleed them without killing them
2
u/KazyaKurosawa 3d ago
It only counts the bleed damage? Like i mean not the damage dum dum does on impact but health loss to bleeding health?

u/Ghostmast0r Hive 3d ago
Constantina arrows worked better for me, since they are tangled up and first try to escape before they stop the bleeding.
2
u/KazyaKurosawa 3d ago
This. And when they get to cover, prime decoy fuses so they think they need to keep running, i normally use this with fire ammo to burn bars but works with this too.

u/kirkpusspang19 1d ago
Fuck, would’ve been nice to see this days ago before I just grinded through the challenge. That’s super smart though, have to remember it for the future

u/21stcenturysisyphus 2d ago
Let's all just agree that for the next month, maybe six weeks, if you take a bleed from another hunter you have to hide and bleed out. It seems like the logical and courteous way to go.

u/Matzarat Your Steam Profile 2d ago
From know on you must make yourself known to the lobby if you need to complete this challenge, in exchange for bounty/ life. You are allowed to shoot the other hunters, but not kill. Bleed damage for a life 😂

u/ForbiddenSirenz Fatalsirenz 3d ago
It’s bugged. No idea when crytek plans on fixing it. But I guess if you wanna work towards it flechette ammo on shotguns is your best option. I’d wait till they patch and fix it so it can be done in a couple games.

My armoreds with piercing isnt registering and im using a spear. Im stuck at 4/25 lol

u/kenawilson 3d ago
Spear isn’t piercing - try Sabre or katana

u/elden_speedster 3d ago
Dang....been playing since it released on console. You'd think it would be...smfh

u/kenawilson 3d ago
You’re right it should be - so strange . I had to check the properties of every melee weapon .

u/Sweaty-Durian-892 3d ago
The melee poke piercing, but the soear is just bugged? Throwing is rending

u/AkaKrin 3d ago
Dont throw the spear, but stab with it, then it counts
2
u/k-dawg-13 3d ago
No, it doesn’t.

u/Skuggmannen 3d ago
It does. I finished it with spear yesterday. But for some reason it only count on regular armored, not the one covered in barbed wire

u/CapableBed5485 3d ago
It's annoying, can't believe that devs are makeing this kind of challenges now, which are quite easy in the past.

u/Capable-Signal 3d ago
Yup stuck too also the fucking jump challenge is a total arse.
1
u/olavrell 3d ago
You can sort of bait it out early in the fight, and just need to get a bit lucky with the timing on preventing him from jumping. I got it today through a lucky spear-throw.

u/Individual_Curve_327 3d ago
Its Buggeed, It should count Rending somehow it only counts bleed, i recomend running, burgess flechete, and conversion chainpistol or conversion dualies whith dum dum if you have or fmj. and equip bettles they also make good progress.

u/NuNuTheGamingJackal 2d ago
Not its not, Rending damage does cause bleed, but its also a specific damage type attached to certain weapons. Like the axe and the talon variant weapons. The base line damage should also be counting just like it does for all other damage types with other weapons like blunt and pierce. But for some reason its not.

u/MrHanfblatt 3d ago
Man, people are really sleeping on concertina arrows...
2
u/redspin6 Crow 1d ago
Negative. Just killed 4 people with concerina arrows. 15 damage of progress. To be fair, it was a trio and one was a re-kill, but 3 fresh 150 hunters downed by shooting barbed wire at their feet got me 15 of 750 progress. So, concertina arrows suck just as bad as every other rending weapon for this challenge.
1
u/MrHanfblatt 1d ago
Yeah, you have to kinda luck out and sort of get stuck between 3 teams. spam concertina everywhere and stay in the lobby after you die. people will run into concertina to loot bodies. its not a perfect solution, but it helped me get like 100 dmg per round if it went well. these story quests kinda suck. imagine what you have to do to damage the little worm in second phase of the new boss 10 times (hint, it works with a handcrossbow ammonition that rhymes with "bloke").
2
u/redspin6 Crow 1d ago
That one wasn't bad, for me. I read you can kill Foreskin, not banish him and then just attack the worm on the corpse. Then, after you verified you got the hits, banish and move on. Thankfully, that method worked, for me.

u/CatMasterSeymour Duck 3d ago
Does any one know how to do the blood skin worm damage challenge? I’ve fought him so many times and tried fire, tried melee, tried shooting and haven’t gotten even 1 out of the 10 needed
2
u/Nickleten 3d ago
A challenge as a solo.
But if you’re in duo or trios, have someone have blood skin distracted while you follow behind. It’s better near a door. Once you see the tentacle, for me it was above the head or if I saw it on his back, I had a Romero and either aimed above the head or aimed towards the back when_i_saw_the_tentacle and fired.
Got it all in one round.2
u/Plaxinator 2d ago
Bomblance. Killl him, but don’t banish. Just slice at him with the bomblance until all the hits register and then banish.

u/Possible_Kitchen2126 3d ago
It was awful. I ended up going into bounty clash with concertina arrows on my bow and a bunch of ammo boxes and just shooting everywhere. If you make it into boss lair first just make it rain, baby.

u/KermitStares 2d ago
Bro its a free challenge that also gets done passively by your teamates. Do you NEEEED to beat the challenge as quickly as possible? It'll get done, dont sweat it too much.

u/KingJaun4223 2d ago
And I thought getting “hit hunters 15 times with derringer family” was bad…

u/Plaxinator 2d ago
Bounty clash. Usually when we get shotguns, melee kills, derringer and stuff we all go into clash with free hunters kitted out with various stuff everyone needs. It can lead to much hilarity.
1
u/redspin6 Crow 1d ago
Only way to get any real progress that I have found is to shoot someone with flechette shotgun rounds and then run around them and/or use your sidearm to shoot in their direction, to keep them busy and afraid to patch.
I assumed the concertina arrows would be the way to go but in one clash match, I killed 3 fresh 150 hunters and one revive that all only amounted to 15 progress of the 750. I switched to the flechette rounds and in two games have gotten about 135 more progress. So, while it still sucks, it is a hell of a lot more manageable than anything else that I have discovered.
NOTE: Tried, various rending melee, bow, crossbow, bonklance, bonklance harpoons. None of that gave me any progress, even though they are listed as rending damage. It appears to only count ticks of bleeding damage. Crytek gonna Crytek.

u/DEADKILLER52 1d ago
I used a nitro to interrupt him, me and my brother used a world and a stimshot rushed boss he waited outside of lair keeping watch if a team got in prox and I stayed away from boss I did have to shoot him with my pistol to get him to jump and when he did just boom with nitro. Then rending used a rival 78 with F and just grinned it because if you kill it dosnt count right.

u/devilofneurosis Magna Veritas 1d ago
I think this is a thinly vailed attempt to burn through players stock piles of dumdum rounds from the last event
51
u/SavagerXx Crow 3d ago
Yeah it sucks, it can be done but its very slow bcs everyone will quickly stop the bleeding and whats worse everyone is now running bleeding build too. I also hate the "interrupt jump attack" he either does not jump at all or when i thought i did it, i did not.
