How to unlock the Non-Standard Issue achievement

    I thought this achievement was bugged for me, as it has been for others. I found out that the Weapon Form Level 3 Astral Constructs do not unlock until you get a specific material. It is the Untapped Potential asset. All level 3 weapon form blueprints require one Untapped Potential asset.

    I got my first one by completing the Fridge Duty side quest. After defeating the Former boss, I got one Untapped Potential asset and all the level 3 constructs finally showed up.

    I have not done any of the other side quest boss battles yet, but I am going to guess that this is where the rest of the Untapped Potential assets are gotten to upgrade your weapons to level 3.

    I also got one Untapped Potential asset during the main story quest 9, Polaris.

    Kongo DragonI have also been shafted by this achievement, but in a different way. I upgraded two weapons to level 2 before doing fridge duty, mission 9 or any other side bosses. I have now beaten every mission in the game and not once have I been given untapped potential. I have absolutely no idea how or why this has occured. Hopefully they patch this at some point, because there is no way I'm playing through this garbage again.

    Shadow XBL^^ if you think it's garbage, why are you playing it? I think it's excellent, with a bugged achievement.

    BTbenTRI managed to get the level 3 upgrade to appear but then when i got it the achievement didn't pop. Does anybody know anything about this?

    Edit: For anyone who is going for this achievement, it did not pop for me when I upgraded my grip to level 3, but it did pop when I upgraded my shatter to level 3, so maybe it does not work for grip but I am unsure

    Kongo Dragon@shadow XBL I paid £50 on release, so I feel obligated to play the game. Glad you're enjoying it. I think it's a bland, repetitive, convoluted game with horrific frame rate and freezing issues, with a bugged achievement. If you enjoy playing unfinished, glitchy games on release, then that's your business.

    @BTbenTR It may just be a case of the achievement not popping straight away, as is fairly common on the Xbox One. Otherwise I'm not sure.

    I believe they have sent out a patch as of today. Whether this will resolve the issue with this achievement, I'm not so sure.

    Kongo DragonI have since managed to unlock the achievement by playing through mission 9 again from the main menu. I was awarded untapped potential after the final cutscene.

    Tozi TiberiusI got it to pop after leveling up my grip to level 3. However it took several minutes before registering, unlike most of the achievements which popped for me immediately.

    RancidVessel14Is it fixed now?

    DenverMax27Not sure if it's officially fixed or I just happen to be lucky, but I completed Fridge Duty, was awarded Untapped Potential (after turning in the quest with Langston, note it does not drop from the boss itself), and have Level 3 mods available. I previously had some, but not all, guns upgraded to Level 2. Achievement popped as soon as I upgraded Grip to Level 3.
