What happens when the bug occurs? I was shooting an L-Star (which is an LMG according to the armory) and later when I checked back to look at the weekly challenge "Deal 4000 damage with light machine guns" I saw that the number of damage I dealt has unchanged at 1954 even though I downed two players with it. It may be because I picked it up from an enemy's deathbox.
What should be happening instead? The number should have went up by at least 200 damage points.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. Maybe the damage dealt with an L-Star just doesn't count as LMG damage?

LSTAR not LMG?

★★★ Newbie

So, why do my kills with the LSTAR not count as LMG kills? The LSTAR is an LMG, I get two kills with it in a match, and yet the challenge to do so isn't finished. Why is this?

@carbolode I think it counts for carepack weapon kills instead mate.

Moved some other comments over here found in another post. We've made the team aware of this and as @Anlbrd said, the L-STAR will count as a "care package" weapon challenge and we recommend picking up the regular LMG's found scattered around Kings Canyon to complete that LMG challenge.

I'm glad I found this thread, because I was literally about to create one, almost word-for-word as this one here.

I appreciate the reasoning - that these are care package weapons....but we're up to season 3 now, and it's still (obviously) an issue.

Can this particular idiosyncrasy be communicated a bit better somehow? Section off Care Package weapons in the Armory perhaps? Something.

Unfortunately for me, I wasted my time, using an L-Star, actually passing over other LMG's because I thought I was already carrying an LMG.

As someone who's gaming time is at a premium, losing 30 minutes or so, and having to do the missions over again, because of "incorrectly labelled weapon", is frustrating as all heck.
