Mad Max - Up to the Task?

[Cynic 0055]

So I know that there are tons of saves out there that you can download that have 99% of the Challenges completed (including the voided online Scrap Crew Challenge), but does anyone know of a save you can download that ONLY has the the Online Challenges completed? Basically a brand new save file that just has the voided Challenges unlocked so you can go & 100% the game yourself like normal.

Alternatively, & I have seen these kinds of discussions popping up around but heard no new developments for years, but how difficult would it be to mod those Online Challenges out of the game. Or mod them to auto complete upon starting a new game?

I would love to make an Achievement Guide for this game, but those Online Challenges ruin that. I don't see why Avalanche couldn't have just removed them before they shut the servers. I've been that guy & emailed Avalanche on multiple occasions to fix it, even offering them money to do it, but of course I never got any responses.

Shadow of Mordor had something similar happen & had a voided Achievement when their servers shutdown, but Monolith at least had the decency to update the game to make it unlockable again...

You shouldn't use a save file other than your own.

[Cynic 0055]

Well sure, but as of the moment, that is the only way other then SAM to unlock the Up to the Task Achievement. Any save made after October 31, 2020 will never be able to 100% the game since they shutdown their online servers.

I've only seen saves on Nexus Mods you can download where people have beaten the entire game & all you have to do is complete a final random/easy Challenge to unlock the Achievement. It works too apparently. But I am not interested in that.

I was hoping to see if a save existed with ONLY the voided Challenges pre-completed, but the entire rest of the game untouched so I/people can still manually complete the 100% as normal. I find it unlikely that this exists, hence why I also ask about potential mods to remove the voided Challenges entirely, but I thought I would ask anyways.

[tyl0413]

Yeah thats just kind of how it is, I think its only fair if theres a replacement server to be able to complete it on like normal, trackers disagree, oh well.

[Cynic 0055]

Yeah & I have heard on a couple of threads that modding a replacement server to trick the game into thinking it is Avalanche's is borderline impossible, or would just take way more time than it is worth. Which means that it would have to come from Avalanche itself... which is almost equally impossible at this point.

Potentially removing the voided Challenges from the game could be easier, but coding is not my forte. If someone could do it, they probably already would have. Well either way, I am hoping this thread might get a bunch of views & some potential fixes might be discovered...

A shame this 1 achievement has not been removed but it is what it was, I'll hit 99% and move on but at least I'll enjoy the game that I haven't played for years up to this point.

Someone released a mod while ago that makes the achievements obtainable again.

Thank you so much, Hevi! I had no idea. Looks like it came out only a few months ago & seems pretty legit. Super stoked for this.
