Challenge "Unwanted guest" bugged?

[ACHTUNG BABY]

No matter how often I throw a snowball at a snowman - doesn't count.

gotta be one of the jumpscare ones, not the regular ones

Can confirm as I was struggling with that one somewhat myself, only the jumpscare ones actually count, not the regular ones.

There's even a different score event for hitting a regular one vs a jumpscary one. The ones that jumpscare will say "Not This Time", while a regular is "Nice Try". Plus the jumpscare ones explode into blood after a small delay

Ah! I was wondering about this myself. I had assumed that "Not this time" just meant I didn't headshot the snowman. Cheers for the info.

I had the problem as a killer. Only when I was hitting a snowman who tried to scare me, the quest was counting. So you kinda have to search for the mean ones! ;-)

Dumb question, but how do you tell the difference? The decoy ones seem to self-destruct after jump-scaring me when I approach them. Is there a way to sneak up on them that I haven't figured out??

they have a wierd shake / shiver every 15 seconds or so, but easy way is just throw at all of them and you will get it eventually

Heee, sounds like a good tactic! Thanks! I may try it on Killer tonight or tomorrow night. So if anyone sees a STARS Wesker who seems more inclined to whack snowmen then Survivors, you'll know it's me. Be careful not to get in the line of fire: I imagine getting hit by a snowball that he's throwing would feel like getting hit by a line drive.
