Bomb Challenge Glitch

[Master Comi]

It seems that there's a glitch which prevents from completing bomb challenges 100%. It's impossible to create a bomb with every shell type and every effect. Is there a workaround?

If anyone else is still trying to get this done, here's how I did it today:
For the "each of effect types":
1. Dismantle all the bombs.
2. Craft one bomb in "lethal" pouch, use any shell and powder, select any type of effect (e.g. shapnel)
3. Leave the crafting table
4. Use the bomb (just throw it anywhere you like)
5. Open weapons wheel
6. Highlight the 0 bombs that you should have
7. Press the displayed button (X for PS4 controller, A for xbox) to craft another one. You can be anywhere to craft, not necessarily near the crafting table.
8. Do steps from 5 to 7 several times (craft 2-3 bombs), each time exit weapon wheel and change weapon to another one with shortcut.
9. Return to the crafting table.
10. Dismantle all the bombs.
11. Craft another bomb in the same pouch but with different effect.
12. Return to step 3
Do this until you're out of effects in one pouch. Then dismantle everything and start another pouch. Not sure, but it seems to be the key to have only one type of bombs on you.
Do the same for shell types. It worked for me.

Thank you, sir! It worked fine for me. But I still i have a small issue. The last bomb challenge seems to be buggy. I completed it but it still says 1/2. I have 10/10 at bombs now but thats still weird... Anyway. Thanks a lot man!

Hey there community,

Just leaving this here as none of the above solutions worked for me (in fact nothing on the entire internet worked). Managed to get it done today myself and kept tracked of exactly what I did. As follows:

FOR SHELL TYPES

1) Go to Sequence 3, Memory 5
2) Use an outside crafting table (I used the closest one to Piri Reis' shop)
3) Dismantle all bombs that you may have (use "space bar" on PC and not your "Enter" key)
4) Start crafting shell types in the sequence that they show up (left to right) ie, Impact, Fuse, Tripwire, Sticky (also I used Arabic gunpowder and Shrapnel on my lethal pouch because that's what you get when you open the table)
5) Craft only 2 bombs at the table before exiting (the 1st one where you choose each ingredient manually by pressing "enter" on each ingredient and the 2nd with the add bomb button)
6) Exit the crafting table
7) Take one step away from the table
8) Bring up your weapon wheel (press and hold "Q") and only click on the bomb that you crafted without actually quick crafting it yet.

OK SO HERE'S THE TRICKY PART AND THE PART THAT SEEMED TO MAKE IT WORK FOR ME

9) Press and hold "Q" and quickly press "Space bar" to quick craft only 1 more bomb (You have to do this very fast without the weapon wheel showing at all). You'll now have 3 of the same bomb
10) Open the crafting table and repeat steps 3 to 9 making sure to dismantle the bombs with "space bar" and not modify the bombs with "Enter". Also I stuck with the Arabic gunpowder and Shrapnel for all the shell types.



FOR EFFECT TYPES

1) Go to Sequence 3, Memory 5
2) Use an outside crafting table (I used the closest one to Piri Reis' shop)
3) Dismantle all bombs that you may have (use "space bar" on PC and not your "Enter" key)
4) Start crafting EFFECT types in the sequence that they show up (left to right and lethal to diversion. Also I used Arabic gunpowder and Impact shell because that's what you get when you open the table)
5) Craft only 2 bombs at the table before exiting (the 1st one where you choose each ingredient manually by pressing "enter" on each ingredient and the 2nd with the add bomb button)
6) Exit the crafting table
7) Take one step away from the table
8) Bring up your weapon wheel (press and hold "Q") and only click on the bomb that you crafted without actually quick crafting it yet.

OK SO HERE'S THE TRICKY PART AND THE PART THAT SEEMED TO MAKE IT WORK FOR ME

I'm really not sure if all of the above steps are necessary. I do however know that when I did not quick craft the way that I mentioned above, I did not get it completed. So I'm pretty sure that's needed. Also I think the dismantling part of the crafting is also very important instead of modifying.

Another thing that I noticed is that when I was making the bombs this way, after quick crafting some of them I'd get a note that would pop up on the left side of my screen explaining the bomb effect that I just crafted. Essentially indicating to me that these bombs were never ever "crafted" or come across according to the game. (The two bombs that I do remember were the Lamb's blood and the Pyrite coins)

What Fox said worked for me, no downgrade or Game file varification needed.
Thank you Fox,

Y I Give Money to FUBisoft?

[David 'Gadi' Assis]

Mad props to Fox, that was the only way I was able to finish it.

[Venom]

Fox. You're a lifesaver :D

[Bleedkaga]

Foxs' idea really works

thx a lot Fox

[Thermal Grizzly ZA]

Awww thanks guys. Glad I could help

Sorry for necroing the thread, just came here to say Fox's method works on the latest version of the game. Thanks Fox!

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but I have finally found out how to fix this crap.

If you are already a bit in the story, quick-crafting won't help. You have to replay Sequence 3, Memory 4 or onwards (from the DNA menu, naturally) and craft/quick-craft the bombs there - it will then count towards the challenge.

There's some kind of bug where progressing into the storyline locks the challenge out, but it actually works earlier in the game.

I wanted to thank a lot "Deathstruck" because thanks to his suggestion I completed all the bombs challenges.
However I also I looked at the Database Bomb Codex into menù from A.C. Revelation:
showing 4 shells and 10 bombs, and crafted all 10 bombs with the matching Shell and Effect as indicated in the Bomb Codex. I then successfully completed the challenge.

As of February 22 2019 i confirm that Fox's method is a working solution, much thank's to him.

Dear Fox,

I'm not sure if all the steps you mentioned are really neccassary.... but f*ck it - it works!

Thank you, sir.

Зачем вы это переводите?

[Macek]

Sylvix method works perfectly on PS4. But I think that the challenge counts only if you are quickcrafting on weapon wheel. I was also making all three bomb types at a time...

I just wanted to say, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Fox! This challenge took me forever! Thank YOU!
