"Wait for stocks to crash" objective on fear and greed?

[staryoshi06]

We waited for ages and nothing seemed to happen. How long does this objective last?

Once the stocks values freeze (the number goes white) that means they crashed and you're free to place the EMP and secure the max cut, seems like the objective not going away once that's done is a bug so likely will be patched soon

Wait, so leaving the USB in isn't necessary then? The objective only showed up after removing the USB so I thought it was separate from that.

Haha, thought you were talking about Starbreeze and got really confused

nah you can remove the USB and *place* the EMP whenever, it's only when you *activate* the EMP that the game checks if you got the max cut before shutting down the market and moving onto the escape sequence (and if the counter was white and not going up, you likely got the max % allowed for the difficulty you played it on)
