Yeah weapons do not count. Just use a handful of little sticks, works fine.

It has to be explosive damage not explosive ammo.

So dynamite, barrels, etc...

OP says they used dynamite but something else probably finished the meathead instead, that worked fine for me.

Tbf if explosive ammo doesn´t count as explosive damage, when there is a clear explosion, than what?

Either Crytek describes it better or they fix it for weapons. Imo it´s bs.

Not to mention that there are a bunch of daily-quests bugging out and i managed it somehow to do 50dmg with just ONE beetle on ONE guy in a game today and finished the Billy-Questline with it.

Some of the objectives are clearly rushed and not fully thought out, yes I agree.

I still prefer it over the slog that was serpent moon 100 times over.

just normal dynamite works but idk why but once i killed a meathead with a dynamite and the game didnt give me the token idk why lmao

Nope, did it with explosive bolts but the hit has to be indirect so shoot the ground and kill the meathead with the blast of the arrow/bolt. If you shoot the bolt directly to the meathead, it will not registered (it didn't for me).

It basically means the explosive splash. Direct hits don't count. Neither does the sticky. Dynamite sticks at their feet. Red barrels. And explosive ammo should count as long as it isn't a direct hit, which means each bullet only doing so little damage that it is easier to use dynamite sticks.

It might be bugged, but more likely, you just didn't get the dynamite to do enough damage and something else finished it.

I did it with explosive crossbow. Doesn't work if you shoot them directly, so shoot the ground under them.
