Catcher in the corn?

[weeksy]

Looking for new challenges to do and saw this one listed is it still active and how do you activate it? Also Grinch seems to be a hidden challenge that appears only if you do it by accident?

The Catcher in the corn challenge is simply catching a certain number of fish using corn for bait, but will only be active around the Christmas event period. It disappeared for a while and returned last year, don't remember any announcement at the time.

The Grinch (I am led to believe) involved breaking the "law" (rules) at White Moose, Alberta also during the Christmas event, things like catching a fish without a licence and getting caught. Never popped for me despite numerous attempts. Would be a bit hard to achieve if you had an unlimited advanced licence for White moose (if it was ever returned).

The corn, grinch and a few other challenges don’t appear for me on Xbox when I view my challenges.   Maybe because they are hidden.  Does anybody know if these can be completed there, or are these for the fisherman and steam platforms only?

[PH_Carpman99]

I'm not sure, you'll need to catch 5 fish on corn for it to pop. Believe it is active during the Christmas event (this is an assumption). No idea with the Grinch either, every year I have broken the regulations at White Moose, for no joy .

Was suggested that catcher in the corn turns up at Thanksgiving, makes sense?

I haven't seen them on PS4 either, I should have earned at least part of the Golden Daddy one a couple of years ago when I bought a bunch of advanced licenses on sale after a St. Paddy's Day event, including Alberta which would leave me out of getting the Grinch one too I guess if it were to appear.

(The Golden Daddy achievement (- spend 1000 bc in one day) didn't pop for me either)

Catcher in the corn doesn't pop up after catching 5+ fish with corn on XBOX. Anyone know if this challenge ist still active or hidden or something?

[kdog013]

No luck on ps4 either, went to Lone Star and caught eleven fish on corn and no challenge to complete.

[PH_Carpman99]

The Catcher in the corn challenge is not working on the PC version either .

Could it be working in 2022

[PH_Carpman99]

Do not know, will have to wait 'til the Christmas event to find out. Haven't heard or seen anything suggesting it will be active, only requests for it (people really want that hat it seems ). 

[DannyWilson]

K thanks yep me to i want that hat

According to their recent Steam discussion post, the developers are looking into bringing back this holiday achievement, maybe for U.S. Thanksgiving this year, although they have not confirmed yet.

 

EDIT: Misread Steam post, no official word from Devs yet!

Cool hope so

 

[DannyWilson]

Need to ask devs to add it again

 

[Saberneko]

Would be nice to have a small event for this and maybe add a few other Thanksgiving-related baits for new achievements like peas, bread, etc.

[DannyWilson]

Yes hopefully devs see this and we'll add something

Yes, we won't get a pilgrim's hat this year.

[DannyWilson]

Hopefully if enough of us ask for it devs will turn it back on
