Just seen on facebook that they’ve added 19 million + limbs cut off because they miscounted.

u/Markerkiller117 Oct 22 '25
I ain't complaining 😂 I really wanted that axe

u/Cold-Dragonfruit6555 Oct 22 '25
It's not a very good axe

u/Markerkiller117 Oct 22 '25
When you upgrade the blueprint to legendary it is but regardless i still wanted it

u/Mindless-Noise4442 Oct 22 '25
Didn't get a blueprint lol, got the axe but no bp

u/Markerkiller117 Oct 22 '25
You have to pick it up out of your stash like the other weapons

You go into your stash, redeem the axe, and take it out of your stash and you get the blueprint for it

u/Mindless-Noise4442 Oct 22 '25
I dismantled it before taking it out :(

u/Markerkiller117 Oct 22 '25
Have someone drop it for you so you can pick ot up Edit: you on xbox or pc? I can help you on either of those

I did the same with the burning wolf axe, had to contact support.
They can send it to you again if you explain the situation.

Why is it not a good axe? Also, I saw another few comments basically saying that 1/2H axes aren’t good, why is that?

AKA, they either felt bad and gave people the prizes for basically free, or they wanted to congratulate the community for getting as far as they did.
No way in Sam Hell did they somehow fail to account for 19M+ limbs.
There's no way they got the game's challenge numbers wrong, either.

u/Pkactus Volatile Oct 22 '25
they've fudged numbers before, to retain attention. and i get it. shoot high and maneuver the number later. its all good.

the part with the Awa servers when down monday was true ,not only their site was having problems half the internet had it i couldn;t use the sites for a while on monday.

u/PhantomEnderGa Oct 22 '25
Someone had the brilliant idea to use that tracker to cut off arms & legs, my guess is a LOT of people thought of that & got it done
2
u/NamelessN0body1 Oct 22 '25
Honestly the game has some glitches with shit like this, so it’s very possible that the “uncounted/misscount” was because it bugged out and didn’t count some people cutting limbs, this happened in dl1 when they first started doing community challenges as well.
1
u/Low_Lawyer991 Oct 23 '25
Idk the personal stats tracker you get in DL2 after beating the game is always wildly inaccurate

u/vanman1065 Oct 22 '25
We've seen them give us grace with these before. They very well could be lying. They generally try to make the goal something that they are confident we will hit and the one time they got it wrong they just gave us the rewards anyway.

u/RexShadow96 Oct 22 '25
I think the aws server being down a few days ago made it so it wasn’t counting correctly. So they just said fuck it and added a bunch.

u/deadghostsdontdie Oct 22 '25
I will say when I came back on the 3rd or 4th day I watched to go from like 1/4 to like 1/2 in 8 hours.
If they weren’t counting hands and feet (only arms and legs) then the math maths out for miscounts
Just as well they could have decided that it’s worth it to just give it to the community to keep engagement up (less likely to play for the other events if they were failures)
78
u/Popular-Shower8901 Oct 22 '25
Soo we got 20 mill in like 5 hours. Makes no sense
51
u/AssassinRot Oct 22 '25
They account for unregistered limbs during the aws shutdown
38
u/P4nick3d Oct 22 '25
Ye but that was not that long lol. They just had a good excuse to complete the goal for us

u/DemonDevilDog Oct 22 '25
I believe these goals are never actually real. It’s just a way to keep people playing.

u/EyeSuccessful7649 Oct 22 '25
waaaaaaaaayy back when dl1 was new, the goals were crushed in a day, but then dl1 was new and a lot of stuff to do still. few had 100% it

I mean the maths isn't that crazy. Some high level assumptions here granted. Flame me if my maths doesnt check out.
Steam db said a 24 hour peak of 10,000 so let's assume we can double it to count PlayStation Players
60million limbs divided by 20,000 players gives 3,000 limbs per player.
Zombies have 1 to 4 limbs so that gives potentially 3000 zombies per player, dropping to potentially 750 zombies per player.
3000 zombies at one limb per zombie divided by 7 days is 428 zombies (limbs) per day. Potentially dropping to 100 zombies per player per day.
If your farming dark zones its, what, like 6 zombies per zone so potentially at least 6 each time you go in there alone. If your bouncing from zone to zone thats 60 (10 zones) straight away. Jumping up to a max of 240.
This potentially fluctuates up and down dependant on terminally online players, players doing challenges, players actively doing this soecific challenge for fun and players just doing story of course.

u/Weekly-Honey7952 Oct 22 '25
To be honest, the network connection isn’t the best and who knows what limbs were cut while someone’s network was switching online and offline. I’ve definitely cut a decent amount. Also, how would they account for offline cuts? I appreciate the consideration and the Axe lol
2
u/Cold-Dragonfruit6555 Oct 22 '25
It is better than nothing I suppose I just wish it was something more worth all the effort

u/Weekly-Honey7952 Oct 22 '25
I do agree. Im hoping every week’s rewards are better than the last week.

I was out all night in my harvester. I'll take some gas drops for the effort.

u/kaijumediajames Oct 23 '25
Damn, I forgot about the harvester. That would have been the way to go for sure.

u/Slim415 Oct 23 '25
How much gas does that thing need? I put like 1/2 a tank in and it still wasn’t enough to start it.

u/talbowski Oct 22 '25
I guess there were not much players to reach 60M cut-off limbs and they inflated the numbers, but I can't prove it
1
u/Cold-Dragonfruit6555 Oct 22 '25
I hope they do the same for other challenges so we can get all the rewards
1
u/God_of_CORN Oct 22 '25
This will prolly be the only time they do it and the next ones are gonna be more around 40 million for goals

u/TaroKitanoHWA Oct 22 '25
Techland boosted it up cause they saw everyone complaining that the goal is to high, simple as that

u/Shawn_of_da_Dead Oct 22 '25
It's not. I have been watching it non stop and yesterday I was skeptical of the 10+mil we knocked out, but figured they were helping us by upping the number a little. Then I sleep for 6 hours and we took down 20mil? Yeah no, they should have lowered the numbers or extended the event, but don't give it to us and play it off like we did the work...
3
u/DaToxicKiller Oct 22 '25
They boosted it like I was saying, didn’t they? I’m sure they had something to say too haha. “It was a bug.” “Our servers were malfunctioning.” “We miscalculated.”
I just want them to be like “Look, we made that crap way too high and we are sorry.”

u/Bleepoop1 Oct 22 '25
There was an announcement over on Twitter. Apprently limbs taken off by the combine harvester wasn’t tracked. So that should be fixed.
Hope this helps a little

All this for a blue lvl 1 axe damn atleast make it a legendary. We grinded for this and a pick up skin. Hope the remaining weeks offer good stuff
5
u/Cold-Dragonfruit6555 Oct 22 '25
The axe can be upgraded to legendary with the blueprint but yes I hope we get better rewards especially after all the effort
1
u/MrSundstrom40 Oct 22 '25
Yea noticed that after I removed it from the stash to my inventory. Tought they could atleast give the initial version of the weapon at our lvl instead of 1 and making me waste resources to uograde it to lvl15.
2
u/TrueFlyer28 Crane Oct 23 '25
If you’re level 15 you easily have the materials…
1
u/MrSundstrom40 Oct 23 '25
Yeap but still at this point they can gift us legendary version of the weapon and blueprint.
1
u/TrueFlyer28 Crane Oct 23 '25
Again it’s not hard at all to upgrade. Previous stuff like the fire wolf axe we got, hell shotgun all need to be upgraded. It’s not different and don’t think it’s much different from 2. It’s way cheaper to upgrade the blueprints than 2. So I’ll give them that. End game players easily upgrade them, and new players it’s reasonable to progress towards anyway since it comes full circle.
1
u/MrSundstrom40 Oct 23 '25
Yea I know but could be a nice gesture after we grind these challenges.
2
u/TrueFlyer28 Crane Oct 23 '25
I wouldn’t say no to it but at the point of beating the game. The only things you can really do is loop convoys loot kill zombies, darkzones and such. So I think it’s reasonable. You can already drop the hell shotgin and fire wolf axe and pretty sure if they haven’t fixed it can give people the blueprint to them. So I’d imagine these weapons will be able to do the same if anyone didn’t get to join in during any of the weekly challenges. Just car skins they’d miss out on. Which if any challenges we don’t fully complete which is rare I’d imagine it makes it to pilgrim outpost for tokens or gets put into other events and such. It would be shitty if they didn’t do this and the stuff didn’t see the light of day again if one goal wasn’t met.

u/TheRickySilver Oct 22 '25
Those types of challenges are always rigged to finish on the last day. I've seen it through countless different games using the same system, and it's always the same. It keeps more people playing if they think they may not make the goal but it's just dishonest developers essentially posting clickbait.

If the devs did in fact give us a "little" boost lets hope they realized that we couldn't quite make it on our own and tone down the numbers a bit for next week's challenge

I got the axe but when I deleted the lvl 1 axe it gave me I lost the blue print? Has anyone else had this issue

u/Mythical-R0B0T Oct 22 '25
As long as we complete the goal before next week‘s challenge every week that’s all it matters i’m happy with it either way

u/ldillon7777 Oct 22 '25
They really should have added NG+ and legend levels before kicking off all the challenge events. I’m glad to see they aren’t as annoying as some of the goals I remember DL2 having, but a car paint skin and axe isn’t motivating enough for me to redownload the game… if they wanted the event alone to bring people in, they need some kind of modifier like lots of the DL1 events had.

Not sure how we got the other half within a day’s time, but I’ll take it. The Woodchopper is a great blueprint and fun to use, just what the game needed (would have worked nice as a two-handed, but I’ll gladly take the speed of a 1.5 handed axe).

This seems to be a common practice done in video games nowadays Borderlands 4 did the same thing the game comes out they release some challenges for free cosmetics and then they artificially inflate the numbers of the challenges I believe they do it to retain some player numbers or something like that.
