How To Pass Rank 4 (Avoid Current Bug)

[-EQUINOX-]

Hello,

As some people seem to not read the last messages over here https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/212622-rank-4-test-bug/, I suppose a new topic would be more visible.

 

So, to pass this rank test meanwhile DE fix this bug, do not hit any enemy nor use any of your power. Moreover, unequip your sentinel, it may attack them. Just turn around, run, dance, whatever, and try to not die :)

 

This "method" worked for me, so it should be ok with you as well.

I have been looking for options on this and I Will try that out tomorrow. unfortunately I now have to wait till 2 am to retake the test.. damn. I was tempted to try that, not attacking anything ill definitely give it a go hopefully I can pass the damn rank

[ki01]

yeah, i can confirm this. if you run around without killing anything it will pass. i did it myself and passed this morning after 2 failed tries

[Catkillerfive]

I should have read this sooner :(

 

Oh well, just 23 hours left. Thanks for telling us anyway.

Im currently in the mission with the timer finished but i killed everything.

 

Ill need to try this method in 24 hours :(

Thanks for the post though, hope it works! :D

Wish I read sooner.. 23 hours till I can try

[Ryshida]

Thanks for the tip! I'll do that tomorrow if its not patched by then. I also sent a support ticket with my log file right after I aborted so maybe that'll get their attention.

Yeah it actually worked. I wish I found this out a few days ago, I tried asking people in game and no one knew what I was talking about.

Didn't work for me. Ran around, dealing no damage, one(!) infested spawned and the timear vanished again. Then nothing happens.

Did not work for me, spawned about 5 enemies. Timer vanished, no completion.

EDIT:

4th attempt worked for me: First thing I did was switch back to my excalibur, during the intro to the mission I did not move or change my weapons. Once the mission began I simply ran a circle around the outside of the pillars avoiding the enemies until the timer ran out.

Just did the mission without touching anything, still bugged out.

 

Sitting in a completed test with no timer left and a nikana build and ready to claim in my foundry >.<

This method works for me for the first time. Not sure if its luck but thanks a lot ! I just ran around in spiral like some suggested. Oh I also had my sentinel unequipped.

Just bug-failed the test .... this 24 hours cap is reaaally annoying. Not to mention I had to do the Rank 3 test twice too (melee button wound't work ...)

Anyway, do you guys think that if I climb on top of a pillar this would work? Waiting, without attacking the infested I mean ... ?

I have tried the mission 3 times with no sentinal and without attacking anything and every time I have not been able to complete it

[.Tabris]

gosh... this is so annoying... wonder if the guys at DE read these foruns ... At least some kind of feedback would be nice, if only to let as know that they know there is a problem ...

such a nice game, but this issue surely is a letdown...

 

i'll try the test again tomorrow and let you know

How does a bug this big go unnoticed?

I have not been able to compete the mission even when using nothing but a sword and not damaging anything.

 

They should at least temporarily remove the timer for test 4 so we can have more tries to get past the bug.
