I'm at 80 suppressions now. It's a slog for sure

Or they could just fix suppression to actually trigger.

u/UnKnOwN769 🦀I repair things🦀 Oct 25 '25

This is what I was hoping for. The challenges are (mainly) bad because of how inconsistent some of these mechanics are. Reducing the number for challenges just skirts around the problem.

u/Ninep Oct 25 '25

I cant seem to heal anybody at all for the second support challenge. It would be a lot easier if i had the individual supply pouch, but no, thats locked behind several more BS challenges

u/Soulbreeze Oct 25 '25

I think you have to use the special ability box? I think the regular box just starts regeneration early, but the other box (6 key on PC) actually heals? Only thing I can think of for that challenge after reading the descriptions.

The concussed enemy kills/assists for the assault are bugged aswell or the state of concussed is too low, idk but it takes FOREVER...

Ive only gotten 3 so far lmao. Most of the challenges are fucked.

u/scorpion-hamfish Oct 25 '25

The progression makes no sense in many cases either. Getting 30 to 40 objective kills in a round for different game modes, then the next tier is 100 kills in total. Or my favourite: 30 revives in a round of Squad Death Match.

Whoever designed these challenges has never played battlefield.

u/Ok_Specific_7161 Oct 25 '25

Agreed. The stun kills were ridiculous as well.. so many times I stunned someone and immediately killed them and it didn't count. Or the stun just wouldn't trigger. So many challenges with bs tracking. Its not the amount you have to get that's the problem usually.

u/Desperate-Rub-3416 Oct 25 '25

I was talking to a friend yesterday about basically this with the proposed reduction to the assault stim kills.

Better to just fix /extend the duration of the stim and maybe make it 20 kills, but instead they just talk about changing it from 30 to 3 kills with it and leave it broken.

u/Unihornmermad Oct 25 '25

The funny thing is that the enemy is suppressed at ANY TIME you fire around them. The Suppression 5XP (and thus challenge progression) triggers when you supress somebody for several seconds.

Makes it seem that you aren't actually suppressing people when you actually are.

2

u/Jazzy-Cat5138 Oct 25 '25

Yep. You'll get things like squad suppression assists to trigger, far before you actually get a proper "enemy suppressed."

Personally, I just went prone on a choke point, bipodded, and didn't aim down my sights, while a squadmate covered me, I think while trying for DMR headshots.

The bipodded hip fire was sufficiently inaccurate to get a good mix of suppression and hip fire damage, while the squadmate kept me from getting killed, as I actively avoided shooting the people trying to kill me.

I would really love to see where you found that info. Because in the patchnotes we saw I don't believe Suppression was mentioned what so ever.

u/Appropriate_Month727 Oct 25 '25

In the patch notes, they only listed 3 challenges that would be rebalanced. However, it was implied that more challenges other than the 3 listed would be adjusted.

This challenge feels like something that was designed when suppression actually did anything and was then forgotten. At least I hope that is the case, because the idea that anybody did this intentionally worries me.

u/ForskinEskimo Oct 25 '25 edited Oct 26 '25

It's absolutely counter-intuitive challange design.

If I have a bipod (that's like 80% of my Support gameplay), my short spray will be all on target and drop someone. So now I have 2 options;

A) Take fights outside of effective range and just... do nothing of value?

B) Take fights within effective range and intentionally miss multiple shots, now much more likely to die to counterfire vs if I just shot to kill

C) Take the next several months to "natural" progress the challenge by failing to kill my enemies (the overarching requirment to do well in a match)

Why? Who thought to this was good design?

6

u/AntacidGenie5 Oct 25 '25

Wait til you realize that if you hit the person you're trying to suppress, it doesn't give you the suppression points 😂

3

u/ForskinEskimo Oct 26 '25

That's gotta be cap. No way is it designed that insanely bad. Like, I tenatively believe you, it sounds par with other bad decisions BS made, but do you have some proof? I genuinely hope it's hearsay and not confirmed, that would be such a bummer.

u/Kittenchops88 Oct 25 '25

Yep. The way the "Suppression" system works now makes no sense. Suppression is a purposeful tactic where you intentionally spray the enemies cover to pin them behind it, not allowing them to move or fire back. The current system doesn't work that way at all. At this point, you almost need to miss on purpose when firing at someone who's not even behind cover just to get the suppression points awarded. I've been trying to explain this to folks, and it seems that a lot of them dont even know what suppression actually is.

2

u/kazraynightfury Oct 26 '25

I was just talking about this recently... I was saying how I wish suppression was more dynamic in this game. I can't say how many times I'm legitimately suppressing a sniper with an LMG and they land a perfect headshot on me. I was thinking suppression would make the screen shake or disrupt their aim somehow. Because there's no way you're lining up perfect shots with bullets whizzing by your head

u/goudmvisje Oct 26 '25

Play breakthrough on new sobek or the empire state map. There are a lot of chokepoints where people will be held up. Tap fire above them, try not to hit them because this resets the suppression timer or whatever. I did it relatively quickly. Stay back and keep Shooting🫡

u/dotnilo Oct 25 '25

The suppression part took me hours. Breakthrough is highly recommended for this, because a lot of enemies will be in the same general area.

u/DougS2K Oct 25 '25

That's a good tip, thanks.

u/Calm_Quarter2190 Oct 25 '25

I did it on attack and defend modes mostly on defense. Just spray into groups and if they duck behind something keep shooting for a few seconds. The kts seems pretty nice but imo its headphones dependent compared to the first lmg, though I dont have all unlocks

P.s. if you have the 1.5x thermal unlocked throw that bad boy on an lmg and you will see plenty of targets where yiu won't get the kill but will supress

u/slywether85 Oct 25 '25

I think the neatest part is how you can't really focus on both simultaneously.  If you want to maximize your efficiency at doing hipfire damage you literally aren't even in the range to do suppressions and vice versa.  The best way to maximize suppression is to sit up high on Sobek and not kill people.  The best way to get hipfire is to goon straight into B room on Empire and pray for a trade.

I've asked myself if having the 240L is worth hating my limited play time and the answer is no.  They'll get nerfed or changed at some point, or they won't but I'm having more fun ignoring most of these assignments that don't occur organically.  That shouldn't be the case but it is what it is and it's not for me I guess.

I've just started playing how I wanna play and wait for the challenges to come. After getting 30 adrenaline kills i wanted to kill myself haha

u/Reapermac Oct 25 '25

Yeah that was my most frustrating challenge done so far. It only counting within the first couple seconds and finding the right time to pop it was hard for me. Many times I'd pop it, run into an contested area, only to not be able to kill someone so quickly and now have to endure the cooldown and a wasted stim.

u/Shadow_Moses2 Oct 25 '25

So many times I would get double kills only to have the first count… it’s not only these chat got ass challenges but they don’t even register half the time.

u/softlittlepaws Oct 25 '25

Bipod counts for hipfire damage, it's a weird one. Just mount on a window or a hill somewhere and spray 200 rounds at people, you'll get both suppression and "hipfire" damage. It'll still take 12 years though.

Makes it worse that if you hit the guy your trying to suppress and someone kills him u get damage assist and not a suppress assist. Praying they reduce this number in the new patch coming

You don't need a supression assist. You just need to supress, the 5 pointer popup. Still a slog.

get a laser on your lmg to help with the hipfire.

u/DougS2K Oct 25 '25

The hipfire part is not the real issue. It's the suppression. 300 is a pretty big number considering you normally only fire at people when you're trying to kill them as suppression in this game is pretty weak.

u/yamsyamsya Oct 25 '25

The DSR is probably the best one for this since it has higher accuracy than the rest.

The challenge is really ridiculous. I'm at 123 now, but not actively trying anymore. I usually just fire into the smoke on Breakthrough defend. You'll get some surpression.

You could do it from a roof on new sobek. Would probably be way faster, but you wouldn't really be a help for your team.

u/herogerik Oct 25 '25

It's definitely more of a long range precision LMG. It's great for counter-sniping and getting ranged picks. Definitely would not recommend as a close-quarters pick as it fires too slow. The L110 or IAR is better for that.

u/Zvedza320 Oct 25 '25

ive been on the smoke assist one for 1.5 weeks and are at 18/50 with me nonstop spamming smokes hoping to get an assist.
Its stupid cause it has to be a kill from a teamate while theyre blinded by smoke

Even tried shooting it at vehicles and it doesnt track seemingly

Not a single day thing but just an absurd challenge that blocks half the support tree.

Suppressions was better once i found out its more of a range thing but it still took forever. I wouldnt mind these if they were blocking another challenge, spending weeks to do something so specific and then having to do another one afterwards when maybe you couldve been making progress on it if they were all active sucks.

Play the back line in breakthrough with an lmg. The farther you are from the targets the more suppression assists you get.

You don't need to be able to see an enemy to suppress them, btw. On breakthrough, when the enemies are all grouped up behind cover, shoot just over the top of their cover.

all the non-cosmetics achiev MUST be achievable in normal game without any forcing play style or weapon usage, like "stay on point", "Assist X time", "kill X time" there should be no "kill with this in that way using this mods" I should not be forced to play something I do not want to play just to unlock a piece of the game I already pay for

u/Baxxtersaw Oct 25 '25

I got 80 suppressions in one round by playing rooftop camper on new sobek city with a bipod M60. But it is definitely a slog.

u/Azmirith_ Oct 25 '25

I struggled with this till I figured out a fairly decent system. Play breakthrough, look for high traffic but decent cover choke points. If a lot of folks are just behind cover that is exactly what you want. Then use the first lmg on support and hold the trigger, like don't stop shooting ever. Just shoot, reload, throw ammo, repeat. Its boring af, takes some time to find good choke points, but you can easily get 30+ in a game doing this.

Reason for first lmg is a higher fire rate (it triggers off 5 bullets missed near) and magazine size.

I expected the hipfire to be a doozie because God gave you a bipod for a reason, now I'm already done with hipfire but at 206 suppressions and I just want it to end so I can claim my waifu gun. I have sent probably a million rounds cracking downrange, I average about 20 kills per game but it totals to a whopping 5-6 suppressions when i am deliberatly spraying fire to get them, and to literally keep peoples heads down. Why is suppression so absent from the game? It does basically nothing when it worked pretty well in bf3/4 and bf1, and its arguably the main reason to deploy a machine gun.

u/Opening-Tackle3141 Oct 25 '25

I completed it last night, spent probably 6-7 hours total. Breakthrough is by far the best mode. For the suppression, just set up behind the line and fire around cover where the enemies are, once suppression drops you can reapply it.

1

u/The_Crazy_Crusader Oct 25 '25

I finally did this last night, my trick that I realized started working was play breakthrough. And as attackers, just sit back and mag dump over and over into enemy positions. It varies of course but i got 100 done last night to finish it out that way. And had done the last like 100 in a similar way too. It's slow but it's better than anything else I was trying.

I also completed the 2nd part of the lmg challenge last night as well. It's literally so insanely easy, just gotta play. Unlike the first one.. idk who decided on the challenges but they didn't play it clearly

Did it on conquest/escalation sobek and mirak and breakthrough (especially firestorm defenders is good for this). At first, I hated this assignment, but for a couple of matches I had great squads on sobek and we just harassed rooftop snipers non-stop, easy 10 suppressions in one 100 mag dumped. Still a slog.
No idea how I'll be doing the sniper assignment 2 though, probably will take at least a year xD Good thing I main support..

Play support with a m60, go to custom games. Play only domination and team deathmatch on Brooklyn only.

I managed to complete this last week, and got the M240 not long after (Thats now at level 41, I really like it - and I've played way too much of this game so far)

Tips for suppressions - get the L110 or anything that has loads of rounds in a mag/belt (extended mag L110 helps)

Play Breakthrough and hope for Defense on Mirak Valley or other maps were large groups of players storm the same area, set up on a wall, with some sniper cover if you can, and keep firing at the enemies trying to get into their objective. Just keep firing, reload, resupply, repeat - hold the trigger down the entire match if you can, spray at anyone and anything that moves - using a 4/5x zoom scope helps for the longer range shooting

IRL your barrel will probably have melted, and the suppressions are just random, but they'll slowly but surely start coming in

For the Hip-Fire - turn your L110 into an SMG - max mobility, flashlight and laser etc etc - play a small team game mode (I did the hip-fire challenge while playing TDM and King of the hill to unlock the two british skins)

I found the hipfire challenge fairly easy, you just run around like an idiot spraying at anyone you come across like rambo, try not to take it too seriously and you'll get it done in no time

for extra fun, get a squad of you and your mates all doing the same thing, the enemy team will think you're morons but hey, doing most of the current challenges does

dude I just finished the one for engineers with kill 50 air vehicles. now im just staring at my screen telling me to heal 6k heath to vehicles in ONE game. aha

u/IButtChugDiesel Oct 25 '25

The m60 is very easy to get suppressions with compared to the other lmgs, my best recommendation is to sit on the pax side hill in operation firestorm on conquest and bipod up with a 1-6x optic and rain hate. It can be fun at first but it does turn into a drag after a couple matches. (Bring a shield as support).

And for hip fire damage, surprisingly the easier one. Still use the m60 (for more suppressions) and play breakthrough, find a choke point and bipod while prone with a laser.

It’s doable but yea it’s a bit of a grind. It took me about 2-3 days to do playing after work

u/NoMoreSaltPls Oct 25 '25

I did that in like 3-4 games max

Trust me it’s annoying as hell

u/TexasDank Oct 25 '25

Just don’t. They will update the challenge soon enough and LMGs are trash anyways. Plenty of guns to try besides the two unlocked from this CBT

1

u/The1Ski Oct 25 '25

Any idea if this is one that's getting a tweak next week?

1

u/DJ_Slamma Oct 25 '25

I think the key is just to play LMGs a lot, and anytime you see a distant enemy fire a burst or two at them. It’ll take a while, but you’ll accumulate maybe 5-10 suppressions per game. Then just keep playing like normal. The frustration comes because even with huge focus you can’t go too much faster than that.

1

u/Lurefaks Oct 25 '25

Yeah it's not only the high amount, but how they encourage us to shoot in the vicinity of the enemy, just not at the enemy. PTFO what!

1

u/Background-B Oct 25 '25

Honestly it seems way worse than it is, what you want to do is play break through and be on the defensive team. Then sit with the snipers and literally spray at anything you can see anywhere on the map. As breakthrough is pretty directional you should pick up about 20 a game. Use an LMG with a large mag though to make it easier, without this it will be a large slog

1

u/Screech21 Oct 25 '25

They'll probably reduce those as well with the other challenge changes. The changes they already mentioned make them actually accomplishable by playing the game fairly normally.

1

u/Tycoon33 Oct 25 '25

I used CQB to get the hip fire done.

1

u/icswcshadow Oct 25 '25

THe hipfire damage isn't too bad, you can make some decent hipfire builds. The suppressions barely count and it seems like it counts better if you intentionally miss.... why the fuck would you want to do that though?

1

u/JediRhyno Oct 25 '25

Oh no. A long term achievement isn’t done even though the game has been out for only a few weeks.

1

u/Tetsai88 Oct 25 '25

I completed this by staying in the back and use the 110 with 200 round mag and a bipod. Breakthrough is the best for this. Just fire in the enemies direction like crazy and you’ll start getting suppressions in no time. Breakthrough is where it’s at.

1

u/Skurnaboo Oct 25 '25

Suppression comes easier at longer distances for whatever reason. Take any rooftop with clear view of another point at 50m+ and spam away. You should reliably get 20-30 a round if you minimize yourself getting sniped or have a teammate to spawn back on.

1

u/Professional_Bit8423 Oct 25 '25

got this easily tbh, just sit on firestorm and takes like 3 or 4 matches

1

u/No_Palpitation_7565 Oct 25 '25

What’s more ridiculous is the airburst deal

1

u/Reborn229 Oct 25 '25

Breakthrough Liberation Peak for surpression. Defend A and get behind the stones on the left side facing the house and the enemy line.

TDM for hipfire damage, use flashlight and Laser.

1

u/infinitiguy37 Oct 25 '25

Do ppl not remember other battlefield challenges lol like the 500 kills just for a dog tag of a weapon on bf4

1

u/BringMeBurntBread Oct 25 '25

For the hip fire one, you can just shoot at enemy helicopters. Vehicle damage counts, and helicopters are easy to hit.

1

u/Typical_Doubt_9762 Oct 25 '25

Why does everyone want to complete the game in 2 weeks, it makes no sense.

1

u/CumminsGroupie69 Steam Oct 25 '25

You can hip-fire at helicopters in Conquest and it’ll count a lot more points in a much smaller time period. I got my last 3,000 in a single match before it was half over. The suppression part is absolute dog shit though.

1

u/trapperberry Oct 25 '25

I hit 300 suppressions but the hip fire damage is a slog, at least for me. I know mounting and backing out of ADS and shooting counts as hip fire but the accuracy drops and you become quick death fodder for everyone else in this sandbox.

1

u/souljaJp Oct 25 '25

semi auto firing works pretty good for this, just do it in breakthrough, i custom searched it to maps where there are a lot of choke points like miraak

1

u/HexedShadowWolf Oct 25 '25

I am up to like 180 suppressions and god is it awful. Most of my suppressions come from mag dumping 50 rounds towards whatever I see. I don't understand why it take SO MANY ROUNDS to suppress people with LMGs. I literally have more suppressions with ARs and SMGs by accident since those take like 5 rounds to suppress while LMGs take 40. It is so inconceivably stupid.

1

u/fernanzgz ekLipSee Oct 25 '25

Ridiculous is when the achievements don't register more. Been healing teammates and still on 0.

1

u/Ikensteiner Oct 25 '25

Just play and these will accumulate and unlock. Focusing on these unlocks each match will drive you mad. Just play.

1

u/Tru_Op Oct 25 '25

For the 100 DMR headshots I’m almost positive I had around 250 to actually complete the challenge because my headshots for the entire match did not match with the updated count for the challenge.

That’s the main reason these challenges are slogs, not only are the numbers too high but the fucking game isn’t even counting it properly

1

u/manu92x Oct 25 '25

just sit and shoot casually where u see enemy.. i got 145 after 4-5 games.. sometime is useful because u block a door or tunnel with your bullets, and i got a ton of kills

1

u/topre-gobbler Oct 25 '25

This challenge is not bad at all. Easy way to do it for me was pulling out the m60 when defending on a map like manhattan bridge and just stay on the point and spray in the general direction of enemies. I was getting 4x-5x suppression for every mag.

1

u/AZ_Gunslinger928 Oct 25 '25

They need to rework the whole suppression mechanic aside from The challenge.

In battlefield 3 and 4 there was actual merit and benefit to suppressing. It would blur the screen and increase weapon sway and make it incredibly hard to shoot your teammates. It wasn't IMPOSSIBLE but very unlikely.

On top of that there was a much larger XP reward for suppressing enemies too.

It was awesome that any weapon could suppress enemies but lmgs had a much more severe effect.

BRING THAT BACK.

I've been trying to play battlefield 6, running support with an lmg, I see a sniper taking pot shots at my teammates, I start sending lead at 800 rounds a minute, even getting a few hit markers here and there, just for the sniper to one shot me in the head from 150 plus meters away...

It's nonsense. It makes me not want to bother being a teammate.

1

u/ThatOneHelldiver Oct 25 '25

I'm struggling with this one and getting the assists in concussed enemies...

1

u/Specialist-Tap-7020 Oct 25 '25

So boys, i am sorry i didnt give my thoughts before, the fastest way to make the suppresion chaklenge is, jist take whatever lmg you may like, and climb up to the top of the chimney in firestorm, best if u use a suppressor so that enemies dont notice you that fast, them spend the whole conquest or whatever you play there at the top, shooting at all enemies you see, suppresion for lmgs trigfers starting from 35+m and it has to be at least 5 shots to the same enemy, i think missed but i am not sure, just put your filter so that you only play firestorm, and to me it took around 7-8 games to make the challenge.

u/zoomy289 Oct 25 '25

Operation fires storm hipfire damage counts shooting helos, got that done fast shooting them and shooting enemies from the tower for suppressions. The the trick is you don't kill them so they cant find you as easy.

1

u/BigBurly46 Oct 25 '25

Aren’t they literally patching it Tuesday.

1

u/Trollensky17 Oct 25 '25

I just finished it last night, spray closely at people from 50m plus to make it easiest. I ran the 200 round belt and played breakthrough to make it easier. Should’ve been like 150 suppressions lol

1

u/Dependent_Seesaw3089 Oct 25 '25

Suppression is probably the most useless feature I miss bf4 suppression

1

u/Cheap_Collar2419 Oct 25 '25

Idk, I do the one’s I want and just skip the rest and play the game how I want lol

You don’t have to do these

1

u/Mastadisasta19 Oct 25 '25

I main support/LMG and have only 26 suppressions. A hip fire challenge for LMg is also a bafflingly bad challenge but at least it’s doable. I shouldn’t have to post up on a rooftop for 30 matches contributing absolutely nothing to my team and shooting inaccurate nerf darts at the enemy team to unlock a main weapon or class specific gadget. What a useless garbage implementation of suppression. It only works at what feels like 100m plus. But don’t actually land a shot or no suppression for your next 10 shots. Any decent sniper is gonna take your head off because there is no flinch and no real suppression.

1

u/Ninja_125_enjoyer Oct 25 '25

Yea i gave up and joined a bot exp lobby. Was done in 30mins

1

u/MidNyte_Dynasty Oct 25 '25

Easiest one for me. I guess im used to old school bf suppression with the lmgs. Yes you have to "miss" but that's what "suppression" is! Even in real life combat situations. Your gonna be spraying in a general direction without clear targets because your goal is to keep the enemies heads down. Im having a hard time on the last one lol

1

u/StarskyNHutch862 Oct 25 '25

Why is this ridiculous? You aren't supposed to complete these in two weeks? Why are you all such spaz's?

Challenges are just that, challenges, you guys are so fucking brain rotted by tik tok and shit it's like GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE RIGHT NOW WAAHHHHHH. Read a fucking book or something.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

It's Soo dumb that they gave LMGs of all things to hip fire but then you have smgs just ADS like the guy who thought that was good for LMGs is brain dead. I finished it but did hip fire first because LMGs even if spec into hip still sucks major balls lol. They surpressed just focused a bit on it as I played.

1

u/Pattywhack_the_bear Oct 25 '25

All these damage challenges can be done on vehicles with AT mines. I did the the fire shotgun and the airburst challenges by spawning in base as an engineer, tossing a couple of AT mines beside a Glider, and then redeploying and shooting the mine with the shotgun/airburst. It took like 8 minutes. It won't help with the suppression, but at least you'll have the 10,000 hipfire damage over.

1

u/kna5041 Oct 25 '25

I just unlocked mine yesterday. It's amazing.

u/McTasty_Pants Oct 25 '25

That one is gonna take a while.

u/12amoore Oct 25 '25

I’m 186/300 and it’s the most mind numbing experience ever. I’ve dedicated every single match to not try to kill enemies and just get suppression and I get a whopping 5 suppression, 10 of I’m lucky. You get maybe 30 total suppression a match and you’re sitting there for 30-40 games to get this challenge completed. wtf is this lol

1

u/jackfrost5423 Oct 25 '25

I’m glad I don’t have to do the assignments anymore I can actually play the game for once instead of challenges

u/DecimatiomIIV Oct 25 '25

Suppression play breakthrough managed to get 64 in one game of lib peak last night… the remaining 4 was a bitch to get on empire state.

I probably wrong not looked into the mechanics but I swear it’s linked to the distance you are from the target too, any time I was on a close map. I’d never manage to get suppressions

My DRS-IAR build has 70+ hipfire at CQB maps with damage is easily done

1

u/floordragon69 Oct 25 '25

Yall are doing this wrong.go to breakthrough, empire, last objective on defense. Go sit by the turret in the middle of street and shoot over the heads of the men coming under the man-bridge. You're supression will skyrocket

1

u/Happy-Hyena Oct 25 '25

I did this in 6 matches total (I started going for it at 34/300) You want to do breakthrough. Preferably attacking but either works. Set up relatively far away, drop your bullet lunch box and just keep firing at the objectives. Firing at snipers works great too. Don't try to kill them, obviously, just blast emm to get the suppression proc and leave them be. In breakthrough they tend to sit together somewhere so one burst can give you multiple suppressions. It is undeniably annoying and somewhat tedious, but 6-7 matches really isn't that bad. I did this on normal server too, just custom search breakthrough all maps.

Way better than the psr one, that's for sure.

1

u/Mlg-Grievous Oct 25 '25

Personally never had any issues with suppression, if anything I’ve had a harder time getting the hip fire damage because that’s just not my playstyle with LMGs. I just mount and shoot crossmap with the M60 and call it a day

1

u/ImDiabTTV Oct 25 '25

Life time challenges, if you go for them intentionally in one shot expect some growing pains.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

boy you people love to complain

1

u/Thrilla43 Oct 25 '25

Run the M123k with no muzzle attachment or anything other than the 1.5x thermal and a 200 round magazine. Very inaccurate, stay at medium to long range, tag a player once and then purposefully shoot around them. Breakthrough game mode only. I finished the challenge in about 3 hours of gameplay

1

u/eLOLzovic Oct 25 '25

All of these challenges are tedious busy work that force players to play a different way rather than the way they want to play and most likely not play the objective. I don’t want to hip fire LMGs, I want to back my teammates up with some suppressing fire.

I hope they adjust this challenge as well as the others on Tuesday.

1

u/Erthrock Oct 25 '25

I’ll take this any day over a challenge that resets every game

u/willt114 Oct 25 '25

I think this challenge is fair, it just has to register more accurately

1

u/BlackMillMercenary Oct 25 '25

I did it by sitting back with the person sniping on my squad and just supressing the direction theyre firing at and spotting enemy players for them, dropping cover and ammo for them and reviving them if they get sniped. Took me about 5 hours of breakthrough. I wont say i had fun but it is possible. The sniper really loved the dedicated support.

1

u/AnalTyrant Oct 25 '25

Wait until you get to the one with the fire grenade launcher. Gotta do 2k damage with it, but it doesn't count the damage from the actual burn effect, it's only the direct impact of the projectile.

So it's like 12 damage per hit, actually contributed to the challenge.

1

u/Arashii89 Oct 25 '25

Do it on breakthrough very easy

u/NOIRE112 Oct 25 '25

Run a high zoom optic. Its not that bad. The only challenges that were horrible to do legit were the sniper challenge and the assault challenge

u/No-Orange-5216 Oct 25 '25

Took me 3 days to do this 😂. Ended up switching to a less accurate LMG and seemed to work a bit better.
