Challenge: Self-Deprecating Joke

Hey all,

I am having trouble with the challenge "Self-Deprecating Joke," a challenge for the Clown. In the challenge, the Clown has to invigorate two survivors while intoxicated by the Afterpiece Tonic. Complete in a single trial.

The issue I am running into most is that the invigorating potion from the Clown takes a few seconds to appear and take effect, by which time the survivor is long gone.

Any tips/tricks or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    Oh I remember this one. I just gave it to killers who were obviously trying to get it when it came out, and I only got it by throwing games trying to do it. I think I finally got it when I encountered survivors who stayed in the exit gates to tbag, so I don't really have any advice besides 'just keep throwing bottles and hope one of them will stay to make fun of you'. This one is annoying so good luck.

    i only got this challenge because i threw for it and the survivors felt bad for me and gave it to me. i have no clue how to do this challenge when actually playing the game because as the challenge name suggests it's very counterintuitive and you don't want to be doing it in regular gameplay. just hope you get survivors that will help you do the challenge i guess, just keep chucking bottles and praying

    I finally completed the challenge. The only advice I can give to those looking at completing the challenge is to practice making direct hits with the bottles. That takes care of the pink bottles, then try to throw the yellow bottle beyond the survivor, hoping they run through it. Having a survivor trapped in a loop or corner is also a good opportunity to do the challenge. Otherwise, I just focused on the challenge and didn't worry about doing anything else in the game.

    This was such a dumb tome challenge.

    To get it "normally" you have to use both bottles in a loop where the survivor can reach the piss cloud, like playing around shack.

    The actual way is to do it at the gates when the survivors are t-bagging you for playing so poorly (at least the was my experience 😅)

    you describe the problem with clown. that challenge was hilarious. I think I did it by equip play with your food and spamming pink and yellow bottles though that was long time ago.

    I remember this stupid challenge. Had to throw the match for it just kept throwing one bottle then switch to the other to get it.

    I don't think I've done this challenge yet since I took like an 18 month sabbatical from the game but it would seem to me that the easiest way to knock it out is just be a friendly farm killer for a game or two.

    For anyone finding this thread (and for DBD devs to potentially fix it):

    After just experimenting with it through the whole game, where I managed to do the correct order on three different survivors multiple times, it turns out you don't need to do it two times.

    You need to do it once to two survivors at the same time.

    I do not think this is intended as a) it's very hard in normal gamplay and b) the wording doesn't reflext this:

    Current wording: Invigorate Survivor(s) 2 time(s) with the Afterpiece Antidote while they are intoxicated by the Afterpiece Tonic as The Clown

    Wording for the behaviour I've seen in game: Invigorate 2 survivors with the Afterpiece Antidote at the same time while they are affected by the Afterpiece Tonic


    Note that in my test, the same bottle of Antidoate AND Tonic hit them. I can't confirm if that's necessary, so it could be even worse:

    Worst case wording: Invigorate 2 survivors with one bottle of Afterpiece Antidote while they are affected by the effects of one bottle of Afterpiece Tonic.
