Get rewards from failed Garrison Missions

[ibanezz]

I tried a few 0 % missions, this is what I've learned so far:

If it's a mission that requires more than one follower, the UI glitch won't happen and therefore I can't open the chest.

If it however only requires one follower (which shitty missions do) you can use this bug to open chests. I have only been able to test two 0 % missions with either gold or GR, and I happen to get both, so I can confirm that it was working for me. Keep in mind that it did NOT work when it required two-three followers. Then it would simply just quit the mission window and the chest would be gone.

So... at least (for me) it only works on mission with one follower, which only makes it usable on new characters with shitty followers. Don't expect to get highmaul gear with this.

Still works perfectly fine - Eu Server

What I note is that most of people who "get it work on 0% mission" have less than 20 posts averages, and a big part is mainly in that kind of thread, bullshitting arround.

Still 0 proof like screenshot of 0% with unlocked chest nor videos atm.

Cannot you run fraps or XPlit or anything for 20 seconds while you open your chests, we will see.

By the way, you will ALWAYS wins the EXP, the chest is what we wants here, nothing else.

I believe it used to work, but no longer does. At one point, I could always get the chest/reward. Now every time I press escape is removes it from the list of missions immediately (unless I actually succeeded in completing the mission) and I'm no longer able to access it.

Re-confirmed it's a placebo. I followed the latest advice of "esc when the animation of sword fighting starts" and I got a couple to "glitch" (not really) and a couple to disappear.

It's just placebo.

Believe it.

Take this with a grain of salt, but after trying it I got mixed feelings about it.

If the mission is 2-3 followers - it works. Had a mission that said failed but still got the item from the chest. Granted, it had a 50% succeed rate. Also, the fact is, with this trick, the failed screen WILL appear even if the chance was 100%. So for this, I would say I had 50% chance to succeed and I did succeed.

But the weird thing is, the item that was granted in the chest was not mentioned. So I need some clarification about this: When you receive an item from a chest (e.g. follower armor upgrade, blue item etc.) do you see in the chat what you get? Because in my chat it didn't mentioned the item I got from the chest, whilst I got the item in my bag.

Now with one follower, it doesn't work at all. I sent 4 different low level followers on level 100 missions, meaning success chance was 0%. The first one I clicked the view completed missions and pressed esc immediately. Result: The chest/failed screen didn't showed up at all, and it only showed the remainder of the 3. The 2nd one, I tried the trick to press escape when you see the follower moving. Result: The chest/failed screen didn't showed up at all, and it only showed the remainder of the 2.

The third one and fourth one yielded the same results, and with one even not getting the base exp even, but this is something I can't confirm 100% because I didn't noted the starting experience.

So all in all, I would say it's more of a visual bug and that everything above 1% gives it. In my own experience, 1 follower on a mission with 0% chance succeed does not work. For 2 or more, it does work, ONLY if you guys can indeed verify that when you receive the item you will also see it in the chat. Because I received the item from the chest but it didn't showed up in the chat. But the mission was 50% success rate.

I will try it again with 2 followers, but now with 0% success rate. The chest got an item. Because I'm also skeptic about it, I will record it and upload it afterwards so you guys can see whether or not it's true. But to be honest, with so many reactions I would've atleast expected a screenshot or something confirming that this works, so still, bit of skeptic here.

I might not have many posts either nor will I provide any proof but it works quite perfectly for me. Yes, even the 0% chance missions. I just threw 3x lvl 95 - 96 followers on a lvl 100 mission and I got the loot.

It's most probably a glitch of Blizzard for ALL players if a mission with very low probability (or a printed "0%") succeeded. i.e. they would win without the "esc glitch" anyway (that doesn't work).

There is absolutely no sweet spot. I've seen them disappear (when they actually fail) whenever I click esc, at any point, at the start of the animation, 1 sec later the animation, whenever.

It's just placebo.



PS. Your "with 1 follower" or "3 followers" reports are all erroneous. Why? Because half you say it works with 1, others say the opposite

i.e. you just went randomly to a few successes that would happen anyway.

Fixed today.

Cant get it work. Do I have to wait for the "Mission failed" text? And hit ESC just one second after?

[Goobsgirl]

I just happened to do this on accident. Funny thing was I accidentally did it on a 100% success mission..Before the mission short finished i pressed esc..and reopened. It failed the mission but i got the prize. So i guess it would work either way. But was done on accident.

But you said earlier it was a 100% chance mission

[Goobsgirl]

I did another. In the video it shows 94%..i hit esc. Reopened and it showed failed mission success mission. I'm trying to upload my video.

Been using this since I first read about it and I think you might be right and it has been fixed. I've noticed what appears to a correlation between if you get salvage from a mission, it doesn't work (i.e. pressing escape clears the mission). If I don't get salvage, it seems to work. Do you get salvage when you open the chest (i.e. the mission is considered complete)? If yes then the mission is probably considered complete when you fail it too, hence you get salvage straight away that way. It does look like the myth of it continuing to work is a placebo effect. Most missions I do have a >40% success rate as I'm just trying to burn through missions to level up my guys.
