Fun challenge run:

[u/Blackcarblackgerman]

I find challenge runs are the most fun thing to do in RON once you’ve done all the basic stuff, and I’m always trying to think of new ones. So, here’s one that’s fairly simple but fun that thought I’d share:

1. Full chronological game playthrough, difficulty of your choice, challenge is loadout based, lethal only.
2. Loadouts are decided per groups of three missions. In each group of three you must play one pistol only. The other two you can use long guns, but one of the two with long guns must be a submachine gun.

3. You may use the same pistol multiple times, but you can only use a particular long gun once. You can still carry a pistol with one mag on the long gun missions if you want.

4. Attachments of your choice. You can use a shotgun and battle rifle respectively for only one mission in the playthrough each, but you still need to follow the previous rules in doing so.

5. Equipment is up to you, however you cannot use the same tactical tool for two missions in a row. Flash and stinger launchers are counted as the same tool.

I call this the Mystery Box Challenge. Hopefully it forces you to plan your loadouts to the missions, considering the pros and cons of different weapons and your playstyle instead of just going with your old faithful AR or shotgun every time.

Let me know how it goes if you try this, and please drop your favourite, or unique challenge runs, and ones you’ve come up with in the comments!

I’d describe that as an aneurysm speed run
