I catch an illness and it doesn't count for me in the challenge.

[japweb]

I got Mud Lung and he doesn't tell me about it in the challenge of contracting 22 diseases.
Do you know why this happens?

[AtmaDarkwolf]

u have to catch ALL 22 at some point or another. Check the challenge (expand it) to see which ones you have NOT caught(likely oopsie or the other one, both can be caught with baby mirelurks, just go to the area and kill all but the eggs, unequip all armor and then go near the eggs and let them chew on your legs for a while till u catch one, switch servers and repeat to catch the other your missing)

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Oh my, I gotta try that. Been missing just one for years now.

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Nope, checked and I'm only missing Sludge Lung. Had that a hundred times and never counts. Just ran up to ask heap and hung around the mine and got it again-No Go At that Station.

I saw a YouTube video on how to get the Sludge Lung to register. I looked but couldn't find the exact video again. iirc, you have to server hop after you see the Sludge Lung message and drink dirty water until you contract parasites, then Sludge Lung should register. I have not done this so I do not know if it works but I have seen other comments and doing something similar to get it to register. I might give it shot today and update.

I found this info, probably describes it better.

Fallout 76 sludge lung
Sludge Lung is a disease in Fallout 76 that can be acquired by exposure to toxic air in certain areas, such as the Ash Heap. Here are some key facts about Sludge Lung:

Effects: Max AP (-50), AP regeneration (-50)
Duration: 60 minutes
Cure: Unknown (as of the current information)
To register Sludge Lung for the “Disease” achievement, a workaround is necessary due to a bug in the game. Here are some methods that have been reported to work:

Enter Belching Betty mine without a mask to get Sludge Lung instantly.
Get another disease, then hop servers and get Sludge Lung before the first disease heals.
Alternatively, get Sludge Lung first, hop servers, and then get another disease before Sludge Lung heals.
It’s also important to note that server hopping seems to play a crucial role in registering Sludge Lung for the achievement. Some players have reported success by simply keeping the disease without curing it and logging out, only to find it registered the next day.

Sludge Lung is one of the more challenging diseases to acquire in Fallout 76, and its registration for the “Disease” achievement can be finicky. However, by using these workarounds and being patient, players should be able to overcome the bug and earn the achievement.

Update: I got Sludge Lung to register in the Challenges finally.
I went to Belching Betty and contracted Sludge Lung but it still did not register as expected. I hopped to another server and drank water off my hand pump at my base and got Dysentery. I hopped server again and upon logging in I saw the message about Sludge Lung and Dysentery. Checked Challenges and now I have the Sludge Lung challenge done. Just 3 more to go now.

Hope that helps.

You miss a disease?
No wonder you hide ina hole.
Has any part of you fallen off yet?¿?

[spoggie]

That happened to me too. Sludge Lung wouldn't register as an achievement even though the game said I was suffering from it.
I tried a few things like making myself vulnerable and getting it again, then walking over poisonous spikes.
Didn't work.
Maybe there is a time component to catching another disease while you are infected because after that I tried visiting Whitespring where the diseased ghouls are while suffering from Sludge Lung and let them beat me up. One of them gave me another disease which caused the Sludge Lung to register.

Can you get Atoms for that-I should get about 1,000,000 for my life time achievement.

[japweb]

It has worked.
Thank you so much.
