Why is it so hard to get players to fight the Wendigo bare-handed?

-

I’ve been trying to complete the optional objective in One Violent Night where you can fight the Wendigo with no weapons, but no one ever seems to join in. I’ve asked everyone to unequip their weapons so we can do it bare-handed, but no luck. I’ve also never been able to get into a private server when that event starts, which would help me try it solo. Can anyone tell me if there are extra rewards for doing it this way? Honestly, even if there aren’t bonuses, I just want to experience that fight without weapons at least once!

I totally get where you’re coming from! I always unequip my weapon and try to let others know to do the same, but they just don’t catch on. It’s just so frustrating! 622

Right? It’s like everyone just wants to go full Send with their weapons instead of having fun with it!

Actually, you don’t need everyone to unequip—weapons for the optional task. As long as you aren’t holding a weapon when the Wendigo takes damage, you’ll get the extra rewards. So you can go it alone if needed! A small group of buddies or even soloing it in a private world could help you achieve that bare-fist victory!

Just to clarify, you mainly get more caps and XP, and possibly legendary modules for doing the bare-handed fight. Plus, if you unequip your weapon and let a grenade or mine deal the damage, you’ll still complete the objective without needing anyone else’s help! Good luck getting others on board next time, but even if you’re solo, it’s worth a shot!

If you do manage to fight the Wendigo unarmed, you actually get 3 extra modules as a reward. However, a lot of players probably don’t even know this exists – they see the yellow marker and just go for it, guns blazing. Getting into a private session might be your best bet to pull it off! Although, to be fair, since modules aren’t that big of a deal nowadays, many players might skip the trouble of trying that optional challenge altogether.
