Issues with "Picture perfect - T-808"

[Tian]

Did anyone else experienced issues with the "picture perfect" mission, specifically the flamer one? I can't for the life of me get a perfect picture of those guys. I got one for the aereal, the turrets, the T-800, all of them quite easy. But the T-808, there's just no way... I tried almost everything. Is it bugged or something?

Did you zoom in?

I zoomed in all the way, zoomed in halfway. Took pictures from behind, in front, standing close or far away, and standing on the roof of a car. I took pictured of the robot with the flamer, with the robot almost destroyed. With the robot walking and standing.

No dice.

Meanwhile, I looked up and snapped a picture: perfect picture of an areal that was passing through, wtf.

So have you figured out how to do this quest? Spent an hour trying everything.. from the front, from behind, zoomed at all levels, crouching, standing, it's always just "good" but never "perfect"... Seems to be bugged somehow.

It is simply borked. Even after disarming the T-808, it still wasn't possible to get a good picture. Jacob simply doesn't compare to Jade when it comes to camera work.

I took mine without too much trouble in the north-west of Pasadena. There's a separate area you reach walking through or next to a fallen electricity pylon.

Two T-808 with flamers are patrolling in circles there. On approach, I hid behind some rubble, jumped out with zoom 2 active and got the shot.

Things that factor into a perfect shot:
- from the front
- close enough (zoom helps, but physical distance seems more important)
- nothing obscured

Also (from attempting to snapshot a silverfish), the HUD text printing terminator model name, health etc. must at least have started appearing. A perfect but hasty shot may not count at all because the camera target wasn't noticed by the HUD yet.

I got so frustrated by this quest I just destroyed all of those.. f** this "perfect" photo crap. The worst part of the game yet.

I had the same issue. Very frustrating indeed. But I managed to do it at the area where Cygon described. These two terminators are bound to this area and cannot follow you outside it.

What I did to get the photo is destroying one of them and then just get in front of the other terminator, maybe 2 meters away until 'Perfect' appears. You have to be quick because it quickly changes to another state. I wasted quite a few medkits in other areas as well to try to get the damn perfect photo.

I got in contact with their support team. They are aware of that issue and working on a fix and hope to ship it as soon as possible.

I had the same problem. But it worked with the first T-808. I left the building (where the save is), crouched next to the container, just next to the fence near the plasma tank and in front of the overturned car, and waited with zoom until the terminator came out from behind the car - sideways towards me. He didn't even notice me.

Jacob, i'm sitting in the same spot you described, but weh T-808 shows up, the picture quality is still just "good". How did you managed to get it to Perfect?

[NuclearSnail]

I like to blow their arm off with a pipe bomb. When he stands back up, let him see you go into that building. He will follow you in there so you won't have to worry about other terminators or turrets. Zoom in and take a picture.

Im very very late but just incase someone needs help, the t-808 is patrolling outside a warehouse, agro him then lure him inside the small warehouse then position yourself behind the destroyed car, you should be able to take a clear pic behind cover from the windows of the ruined car

man that photo is like paparazzi terminator...so much tecno and we take photos LUL..was more easy hidden cameras and cameras around

[T3chnoGoat]

I had the same problem and I couldn't get a "perfect" picture... It's funny because I already got a "perfect" picture of the T-808 in the previous reconnaissance mission... I was grinding pictures from inside the small hall as much as I could and somehow I managed to take a "perfect" picture.. Now I have have the same problem with the T-825 but maybe it will work too if you try hard enough... stupid mini tasks.

[Rectorship]

If you destroy their weapon you won't ever get a perfect picture as without it's custom assigned weapon it's just a t800 not a t808 etc. try sneaking up really close just like a turret. Stand and slowly rotate around them untill you like at their 2pm if 12 is pointless straight forward for them. You'll get spotted and if shot camera goes off so be quick also slow mo injection helps. Gets so close you don't need zoom and make sure weapons are fully visible center photo.
