Integer overflow on Slag-licked Challange stat

[Hovercraft]

Hi,

I have a problem with one of my character, for which I am trying to get Challange Accepted achievement.

The Slag-Licked challange has overflown into negative (integer overflow). The number is huge so I will not be able to build it back up in a timely fasion (no fun in that anyway).

Is there any fix for that?

Thanks.

Have you heard of prestiging by any chance? I haven't ever done it before, but I found this link that kinda describes the process :) Do note though that prestiging resets all challenges though, and seeing that you're trying to get the achievement you might have to re-complete a lot of challenges.

Also my slag-licked challenge constantly resets every time I complete it for some reason, if that's of any reassurance xD

It is a bug that Gearbox never bothered fixing.

Just grind it, takes a very short time on UVHM.

It is so easy in TVHM.

It will reduce from the [enormous negative number] back up to zero, and then into positive figures again. The Slag Licked one seems to be the most common challenge that this happerns to, but I have had it happen to some of the other elemental challenges as well.
The code defect (aka bug) that causes this doesn't seem to have been fixed. It doesn't seem to happen to all characters, just some of them. It may be triggered - and this is totally guessing from personal observation - by enormous quantities of damage happening in a very short period of time to a lot of enemies that the game doesn't cope well with. Who knows?
It is annoying, but it will go back into positive numbers at some point, and incidentally earn you an additional 166 BAR in the process.

As far as Challenge Accepted goes, it may be that the 'box is ticked' for that particular challenge when you completed level 1, and that it remains 'ticked' after that.

Thank you fellows for your feedback!

Now, only if I had friends to tick other multiplayer related stuff. I solo-ed the whole thing....

Heh. That is easy, or at least some of it will be. Duel a friend, they can leave the arena, you win, no shots fired. Do it on the train tracks in Lynchwood and you get extra BAR. :)
Trade with a friend - easy. Do one item at a time, each item is a trade. Repeat until you have it done.
Save them from FFYL - that will require a bit of work and co-operation with a friend. Easier I think if you clear an area apart from one easily killed enemy, have your friend take his shield off and let the enemy put him into FFYL. Kill the enemy, save your friend. Repeat until done.

That achievement is the hardest to do I reckon. Having to max the shotgun point blank challenge at 750 kills before shotgun sniper is even unlocked is annoying.

I can help with the coop stuff if you want.

On the trade you actually do not have to trade anything, just go through the motions.

... and the shotgun thing is a PITA :D. I went to normal mode, and went to 3 horns valley and shot anything that moved... rinse and repeat, and repeat......

This challenge is bugged as heck. My mechro has the same problem as you have, and my siren is constantly re-completing the challenge (for the same skin over and over and over)
