Blackout and Pitchfork notes

The cited guides describe drawing police attention so their flashlights are active, then using Blackout while two officers are close enough for a single activation to count for both. The Pitchfork is reported as findable near the start area or via Killer Sense; a full Bloodthirst / stalk setup is commonly recommended before the execution.

Loomis detection and police car

Challenge 5 requires finishing the escape without Loomis detecting Michael. Guides advise watching the map for his indicator and avoiding his line of sight. Challenge 6 requires destroying a police car (repeated attacks until it is destroyed) before leaving the chapter.

If a completed condition still does not register

Treat it as a tracking issue and follow Challenges not counting. Change one variable at a time so the next attempt produces useful evidence.

Questions before you retry

Where is the Pitchfork?

Locations are reported as variable. Guides suggest checking near the starting area and using Killer Sense to highlight weapons.

Does Blackout need two officers already using flashlights?

The cited guides describe attracting attention so flashlights are active, then activating Blackout while two officers are in range.
