The release of the highly anticipated Battlefield 6 garnered widespread acclaim, particularly for its top-tier multiplayer mode. On Steam alone, simultaneous player numbers peaked at nearly 750,000. Nevertheless, despite its popularity, a growing number of players are expressing frustration over a portion of the release's toughest challenges, which are necessary to obtain particular firearms.

Players have started resorting to tailored sessions set up using the custom game tool to complete them, highlighting just how demanding these missions have become.

Understanding Battlefield 6 Objectives

Missions serve as Battlefield 6's permanent multiplayer tasks, in contrast to the periodically changed day-to-day and weekly tasks. It features four categories of assignments, but although many simply offer cosmetics and some tools, achieving the firearm tasks is the only way of getting twelve from the forty-one main guns present in the game.

Some of these gated guns might eventually make their appearance on rankings for the finest arms in Battlefield 6.

Player Outcry across Reddit

On Reddit, players are reasonably sharing their frustrations about how hard and tedious a number of these challenges are. One user emphasized one of the most egregious examples, needed to obtain the KTS100 MK8 LMG:

• Neutralize 300 foes with LMGs
• Inflict 10,000 hipfire damage with LMGs

"This challenge is so atrocious and totally unreasonable, I want to gouge my eyes out," is a statement that captures just how frustratingly difficult these tasks are.

Suppression in Battlefield is less effective than in previous titles in the series, so it doesn't have anywhere near as many advantages in battle as it used to in previous games. It only counts as suppression if you miss multiple shots in a row.

Additionally, firing an LMG without aiming is highly imprecise and functions solely at extremely close range, which is seldom the location you aim to be. The commenter also noted the contradiction in the SMG challenge, required for the SCW-10, which requires kills while aiming down the sights, when that mission would be far more appropriate to hipfire kills, and vice versa.

Another Overly Demanding Task

Another Reddit user pointed out a further incredibly demanding challenge, within the marksman rifle class to obtain the PSR:

• Secure 150 precision takedowns beyond 200 meters with long-range weapons

This is challenging enough by itself, but there's an additional crucial factor to consider: many Battlefield 6 maps do not even allow combat at that kind of range.

There's a healthy variety of map sizes, but given there are merely nine battlegrounds in the game currently, it means you're limited to playing one of the larger locales, a particular valley environment, and perhaps Operation Firestorm at a push if you aim to take long-range shots from beyond 200 meters.

The Bypass

There is a workaround though: the portal. The custom game creator is a system that permits you to make custom game modes on the battleground of your choice, featuring computer-controlled players. This allows you can cheese the system… but it doesn't exactly feel like the developer's vision.

But when doing the challenges in a standard match appears to work against fun, since you are forced to participate in such an atypical style that offers no advantage to anyone, who can fault a player for grinding them out in a private match so squad members are not disadvantaged?

Upcoming Tweaks

It should not be shocking if some of these assignments are toned down in the near future, because if they're not, a portion of the user base simply won't get their hands on the locked firearms.

Currently, the audience continues to voice their opinions on these demanding battlefield assignments, expecting a fairer player experience in subsequent patches.
