Hello, I already had the swordfish and read that the challenge was back. I just wielded the swordfish . . . but the challenge did not unlock. I am using 1.2.1 right now as I want to finish a couple of things then do something else while ACV updates. Anyone able to advise on ensuring it unlocks? Do I have to kill someone with it?

Hello there!

I'm sorry to hear that you have had trouble unlocking "Stinky but Deadly." I was able to retroactively unlock the challenge myself after I defeated a couple of enemies using the sword. The challenge didn't trigger for me, personally, by just equipping the weapon.

Would you be able to try defeating a couple of enemies with the Swordfish equipped as your main weapon? It may take a minute or two for the challenge to update after doing this.

If the challenge still doesn't unlock after trying this, please don't hesitate to update this thread, so we can take a closer look.

Thanks! 😊

Thanks for letting me know what you've tried to get the challenge to unlock, @TheeElf. To help the development team to look into this further, would you be able to send us a video that shows the following:

  • That you have the Swordfish equipped as your main weapon.
  • That after killing an enemy, the challenge remains locked in the Ubisoft Connect Overlay. You can access this from the main game menu.


We can then pass this along to the development team for a closer look.

Thanks! 😊

@cendrars25 I'm sorry to hear that the Ubisoft Connect core challenge 'Stinky but Deadly' has not unlocked.

Can you confirm if you have tried equipping the sword in both hands?
