The release of the much-awaited Battlefield 6 garnered significant enthusiasm, particularly for its top-tier multiplayer mode. Just on Steam, simultaneous player numbers surged to nearly 750,000. Yet, in spite of its success, an increasing amount of players are voicing discontent with some of the game's hardest challenges, which are required to obtain particular firearms.

Gamers have begun resorting to personalized games made via the Portal feature to complete them, emphasizing just how arduous these challenges have become.

Grasping BF6 Objectives

Tasks represent Battlefield 6's ongoing multiplayer objectives, in contrast to the frequently updated everyday and weekly missions. There are four types of assignments, but where most only reward skins and a few gadgets, finishing the gun missions is the only way of obtaining 12 of the 41 key firearms present in the game.

A number of these locked weapons might eventually make their appearance on rankings for the finest arms in Battlefield 6.

Player Outcry via Reddit

Within Reddit, players are reasonably sharing their frustrations about how challenging and repetitive a number of these challenges are. An individual player pointed out one of the most egregious examples, mandatory for acquiring the KTS100 MK8 LMG:

• Subdue 300 opponents with LMGs
• Inflict 10,000 hipfire damage with LMGs

"This challenge is so atrocious and totally unreasonable, I want to tear my hair out," is a comment that illustrates just how annoyingly hard these tasks are.

The suppression mechanic in Battlefield is more diminished than before in the series, so it has significantly fewer positive effects in fights as it had in previous games. It only counts as suppression if you fail to hit several consecutive shots.

At the same time, using an LMG from the hip is highly imprecise and only works at point-blank proximity, which is seldom the location you want to be. That player also noted the contradiction in the SMG challenge, required for the SCW-10, which requires kills while aiming down the sights, when that challenge would be considerably more fitting to hipfire kills, and conversely.

Another Extremely Difficult Mission

One more community participant brought attention to an additional excessively hard challenge, now in the sniper rifle category to unlock the PSR:

• Achieve 150 headshot eliminations from more than 200 meters away with sniper rifles

This is challenging enough by itself, but there's an additional crucial factor to consider: most Battlefield 6 maps don't even support combat at those extended distances.

There's a healthy variety of map sizes, but since there are only nine battlegrounds in the game currently, it restricts you to playing a specific urban map, a particular valley environment, and maybe Operation Firestorm in a best-case scenario if you want to snipe from beyond 200 meters.

The Bypass

Nevertheless, a method exists: Battlefield Portal. The custom game creator is a system that permits you to design tailored experiences on whatever map you choose, complete with bots. This implies you can cheese the system… but it isn't truly in line with the spirit of the game.

But when doing the challenges in a standard match feels like anti-playing, since you must engage in such an atypical style that harms both you and your squad, who can fault a player for completing them in a custom game so squad members are not disadvantaged?

Future Adjustments

It is expected if some of these assignments are adjusted to be less difficult in the next few updates, because unless they are modified, a portion of the user base simply are unlikely to obtain the locked firearms.

Currently, the community continues to voice their opinions on these strenuous battlefield assignments, anticipating a fairer overall gameplay in subsequent patches.
