Sludge lung

[MRX]

I have such a problem. I have the last disease to reach the sludge lung that I have had several times, but that doesn't count.

I got the same bug and it won't get fixed because it pays atoms.

contact bethesda support. use a couple of screenshots. one showing the challenge screen, and one showing you have the sickness. politely explain you have been trying to complete this personal challenge and that you would like it fixed.
they wont be able to check it off your challenge list but they can award you the atoms. its all about being polite and using a couple of screenshots.
now your experiences with support might vary from mine but ive not had a problem getting the atoms even though i told them i didnt need the atoms, i just wanted the challenges ticked off the list. ones like discover places in mire but abandoned bog town would never trigger. i had a pair of others that others have like sludge lung, and something in berkly.
i was awarded one 80 atom reward for one of the challenges, and instructed to make a new ticket for other challenge issues. which i did a couple months later about sludge lung .
still isnt ticked off the list but i guess i got the reward..which i just wanted it off the list screw the atoms they come like water from the sky in this game.

I mean hes not wrong, I've got a lot of ones that should pay out atoms that are bugged, and they won't address it because atoms

I went near the massive crane in the bottom left of the map with no mask to get sludge lung (like 20 minutes afk). Then (thanks reddit) to get it to trigger I went to vault tec university and got radworms from the ghouls and it worked. Use radaway+ be starving and dehydrated for as little disease resistance as you can get. For whatever reason having a disease+sludgelung seems to make it count for the atoms

There is a relatively simple workaround to this. It was either get some other disease, hop server, then get sludge lung before first disease heals, or other way around, first get sludge lung, hop server and then get some other disease before SL heals. Can't remember which way it was anymore. :P

I think the key here is the server hop. I got sludge lung about half a dozen times before it finally registered for the achievement, but the time it triggered I just kept it without curing, logged out for the night, and then next day saw it got ticked off on the list.

(Now if only I can figure out Woopsies...)

Go but naked.
Go low health.
Go to Quarry X3.
Use limb bashing weapon on queen.
Disable her outside the big shed.
(if your mutated, take radX)
Kill little mirlurks that are not diseased...
Let the diseased ones bite you.
Takes awhile, 20minutes...
UhOh! I got da woopsies.

Easy way: go to Highland Marsh, find a bunch of mirelurk eggs, go close enough so that they hatch, kill all that aren't marked as "diseased mirelurk hatchling", and then just let them gnaw your ankles until you get the woopsies. It can take some time unless you're in bad health and have low endurance etc, had to use 2 stimpaks until finally got it. :P
Highland Marsh is big enough area that you don't necessarily need to fight the queen, but you might need to kill few normal mirelurks.

I tried various recommended fixes including eating ~50 brain fungus which is 4% chance of disease. I simply can not catch a second disease if I have Sludge Lung.

Is it the wendigo that does that?

[AlexSledge]

It took me 'forever', but I finally got it knocked out south of Watoga. I killed all of the 'lurks except the queen, crippled the queen so she couldn't move, Every minute or two she'd blast out a few eggs, half of the hatchlings were diseased, so I'd kill off the non-diseased ones and let the others nip at me for a long while. It didn't click for 5min, I'd kill the hatchlings and let queen launch out a few more. Took at least half an hour of culling freshly hatched to only let the diseased ones nibble at me, but eventually it tagged.

Yeah, not doing that.

I feel like I got sludge lung because one of my camps is too close to the Ash Heap, so that would be my pro-tip right there. As a smoker I'm a little sensitive to respiratory illness, so I actually do remember my guy getting it - lol

Edit: Oh, I missed that it was bugged for OP

Yeah I had the last disease to get but it wouldn't register. Tried a few things.
For me making myself vulnerable to disease, traveling to Whitespring where the ghouls are and letting them bash me while I had Sludge Lung triggered it.
