The launch of the eagerly awaited Battlefield 6 garnered significant enthusiasm, particularly for its top-tier multiplayer mode. Just on Steam, concurrent player counts reached a high of nearly 750,000. However, in spite of its success, an increasing amount of players are voicing discontent with some of the game's hardest challenges, which are mandatory to obtain particular firearms.

Gamers have begun turning to tailored sessions set up using the custom game tool to finish these tasks, highlighting just how demanding these missions have become.

Comprehending Battlefield 6 Tasks

Tasks represent Battlefield 6's fixed in-game challenges, different from the regularly refreshed everyday and weekly missions. There are four types of assignments, but while the majority only reward cosmetics and some tools, completing the weapon assignments is the sole method of obtaining twelve from the forty-one key firearms found within the game.

Some of these restricted firearms may soon make their appearance on rosters of the finest arms in Battlefield 6.

Community Frustration across Reddit

On Reddit, players are reasonably voicing their concerns about how challenging and repetitive some of these challenges are. A particular gamer pointed out one of the most outrageous examples, required to unlock the KTS100 MK8 LMG:

• Suppress 300 enemies with LMGs
• Cause 10,000 non-ADS damage with LMGs

"This mission is so terrible and totally unreasonable, I want to scream in frustration," is a comment that illustrates just how annoyingly hard these tasks are.

Suppression in Battlefield is more diminished than before in the series, so it lacks nearly as many positive effects in fights as it had in previous games. It only registers as suppression if you fire a burst without hitting the target.

Additionally, firing an LMG without aiming is wildly inaccurate and functions solely at extremely close range, which is not usually a position you prefer to be. That player also highlighted the irony in the SMG challenge, required for the SCW-10, which demands eliminations when scoped in, when that mission would be much better suited to hipfire kills, and the other way around.

Another Overly Demanding Challenge

A different forum member highlighted an additional excessively hard challenge, this time in the long-range weapon type to access the PSR:

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

This is difficult enough as it is, but there's an additional crucial factor to consider: many Battlefield 6 maps fail to facilitate combat at that kind of range.

There is a decent selection of map sizes, but because there are just nine levels in the game right now, it means you're limited to playing New Sobek City, another expansive area, and perhaps an additional option if you're lucky if you want to snipe from a significant distance.

The Workaround

Nevertheless, a method exists: the custom game tool. This portal feature is a feature that enables you to design tailored experiences on whatever map you choose, featuring computer-controlled players. This means you can exploit the mechanics… but it doesn't exactly feel like the spirit of the game.

However, when doing the challenges in a normal session seems counterproductive, since you are forced to participate in such an unconventional way that offers no advantage to anyone, is it surprising for completing them in a private match so teammates aren't hindered?

Upcoming Tweaks

It should not be shocking if some of these assignments are adjusted to be less difficult in the near future, because should they remain unchanged, certain gamers simply are unlikely to obtain the gated weapons.

Currently, the community continues to share their thoughts on these demanding in-game tasks, hoping for a fairer player experience in subsequent patches.
