you specifically put in the last update that these were supposed to be given credit for yet these are still in my inventory and have no checked off and cannot be used to get credit
Well thanks for finally pointing that out; since the misunderstanding that they have to be used at all has been reported as bugs enough that it's the explanation for the coming change that collectibles will simply add to your collection immediately on pickup, like fishing trophies.
they are not useable and not checked off and they put in the patch notes they were specifically supposed to be fixed which is not the case so i guesss ill have to continue to report every day until a dev actually gives feedback
