I’m also seeing this. Here is a simple example, the DamagedEvent never triggers.

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Fortnite.com/Game }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }

test_objective_events_device := class(creative_device):

    @editable
    Objective : objective_device = objective_device{}

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    {
        Objective.DamagedEvent().Subscribe(OnDamagedEvent)
        Objective.DestroyedEvent.Subscribe(OnDestroyedEvent)
    }

    OnDamagedEvent(Results:damage_result):void=
    {
        Print("hit!")
    }

    OnDestroyedEvent(Player:agent):void=
    {
        Print("destroyed!")
    }

Not only is DamagedEvent() not working, but unsubscribing it using Cancel() also fails to function.

# `DamagedEvent()` Not working.
test_device_1 := class(creative_device):
    
    @editable TestObj_1 : objective_device = objective_device{}

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        TestObj_1.DamagedEvent().Subscribe(OnTowerDamaged) # Not working.

    OnTowerDamaged(DamageResult:damage_result):void=
        gAmount := DamageResult.Amount
        Print ("Tower Damaged Amount = {gAmount}")

# `DamagedEvent()` The code is working.
# But! `.Cancel()` Not working.
test_device_2 := class(creative_device):

    @editable TestButton_1 : button_device = button_device{}
    @editable TestObj_2 : objective_device = objective_device{}

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        TestButton_1.InteractedWithEvent.Subscribe(OnTestButton_1)

        TestObj_2.GetHealth()
        TestObj_2.DamagedEvent().Subscribe(OnTowerDamaged)

    OnTowerDamaged(DamageResult:damage_result):void=
        gAmount := DamageResult.Amount
        Print ("Tower Damaged Amount = {gAmount}")

    OnTestButton_1(Agent:agent):void=
        getSubscription := TestObj_2.DamagedEvent().Subscribe(OnTowerDamaged)
        getSubscription.Cancel()    # Not working.
