Has anyone had any luck with this challenge? I haven’t been able to get it even in games where we take all the batteries before the thieves even have a chance to grab it. Am I doing something wrong?
UPDATE: I have now completed this challenge. Turns out you need to kill the Elite Jump Jets (Battery Thieves) before ANYBODY touches the batteries. So you need to kill the jump jets before it takes the battery and before anyone on your team grabs the battery. There are a total of 6 Elite Jump Jets so you have 2 mistakes available. This still doesn’t really match the description, so maybe update that blizzard? Anyways, good luck!

Yeah, I’ve beaten this challenge 4 or 5 times now without getting the achievement. I’ve killed all the battery stealers the second they spawn in all of them and still nothing. I think it might be bugged or something! I’m one challenge away from the Brig skin

I just started searching for how to do it because we def just grabbed the batteries before the thieves did and killed them, only thing I can think of to do differently is to not pick up the batteries and kill the thieves before they can grab BEFORE you pick the battery up?

We’ve tried waiting to pick up the batteries and killing the bots first. We tried taking every battery before they could. We did not get the challenge. This challenge is bugged.

Having the same problems here. I’ve tried doing it before they’ve even picked up the batteries and I’ve tried letting them pick up the batteries and then killing them as soon as they pick it up. Neither way works.

Same here. I tried 3-4 times and successfully did the challenge, but it didn’t unlock the challenge at the end of game.

I was just about to make a post about this. Glad I’m not the only one with this problem. I played Winston on the easiest difficulty, grabbed ever battery by myself, and it says I still didn’t complete the challenge.

“Eliminate 4 battery thieves as a team before they steal a battery in a single, completed run of Underworld.”
Knowing the game this sounds like it’s designed for premade four-player groups that move tightly and communicate via comms and means that LITERALLY everyone has to hit those NPCs once so they are eliminated “as a team”.

The “Underworld: Lore Hunter” also says “as a team” but it’s solo and doesn’t require anyone to be close to you at all. I’m thinking there’s something bugged until someone says they’ve gotten it and how they did it.

Literally was confused about the same thing. Did the entire mission 3 times on the easiest difficulty as tracer zipping about and killing every bot the millisecond they spawn to steal the battery. One mission away from the brig skin and it’s 2am…

Yep, same here.
I found a group who wanted to this achievement but no matter what we did, it did not be completed.
We tried to get the batteries asap.
We waited for the thieves to spawned and kill them before they snatch the batteries.
It feels bugged.

Ok got the same problem did it atleast like 5 or 6 times now no challenge pop ( did it as tracer and winston both multiple times) its most likely bugged.
Sad since its also the last challenge for me for the Brig skin.

UPDATE: This apparently does NOT work, so nevermind to the following.
After asking on reddit I’ve seen ONE person say they got it. They said they had to wait until the robots pick up the battery and THEN kill the robot. So to format the description of the challenge better : “Eliminate 4 battery thieves that have picked up a battery in one game of Underworld”
I havent tested myself so I’m not sure if it works, but thats the one lead I have right now.

Just tested this, didn’t work.
I can rule out these cases:
- Let the robot take the battery, then kill it
- Kill the robot before it takes the battery
I’m going to say it’s bugged.

tested these as well, including the very first one that falls from the sky. tried speedrunning batteries in before the robots died as well as grabbing them then killing the robot before depositing. seems to just be fully bugged still
