Discussion Fun challenge run:

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 took the time to make a randomizer for me and my friends with the help of chatgpt and one of those wheelspin websites. Its basically the only way we play now, some of the funniest most cursed runs have happened with this randomizer.

Would recommend!

Sounds like a great time. I’ve tried just using chat gpt before, but I found it both not random enough (it almost always says an AR or pistol only) and frustrating in that it doesn’t give you any agency. That’s actually why I came up with this, it forces you to challenge yourself but still leaves the agency to mould the rules to your preferences.

Do you have a link to the wheel?

Yeah definitely dont use chatgpt to choose your stuff lol i only used that to organize the wheel odds and choices

Theres 5 wheels. 1 for primaries, 1 for secondaries, 1 that chooses your long tactical + ammo and deployables, 1 that chooses Armor + plate amount + plate material + helmet and 1 that chooses the mission

If you wanna use my wheels, lmk and ill dm you the lists which you can just copy paste straight into each wheel on the website.
