🔗 Share this article Battlefield 6 Gamers Agree: Missions Are Excessively Difficult The release of the much-awaited Battlefield 6 garnered broad praise, notably for its premier multiplayer mode. Just on Steam, simultaneous player numbers peaked at nearly 750,000. Yet, despite its popularity, a growing number of players are expressing frustration over a portion of the release's toughest challenges, which are necessary to access certain guns. Gamers have begun resorting to tailored sessions created through the Portal feature to complete them, highlighting just how grueling these assignments have become. Understanding Battlefield 6 Objectives Assignments are Battlefield 6's ongoing multiplayer objectives, in contrast to the frequently updated daily and weekly challenges. There are four categories of assignments, but although many merely grant cosmetics and some tools, achieving the firearm tasks is the sole method of getting a dozen out of forty-one primary weapons present in the game. Several of these restricted firearms may soon make their appearance on rosters of the best guns in Battlefield 6. Player Outcry across Reddit Over on Reddit, players are justifiably expressing their worries about how hard and tedious some of these challenges are. An individual player pointed out one of the most extreme examples, required to unlock the KTS100 MK8 LMG: Suppress 300 enemies with LMGs Deal 10,000 close-range damage with LMGs "This task is so atrocious and totally unreasonable, I want to scream in frustration," is a quote that summarizes just how annoyingly hard these tasks are. The suppression feature in the game is more diminished than before in the series, so it lacks nearly as many advantages in battle as it had in previous games. It only registers as suppression if you fail to hit several consecutive shots. At the same time, using an LMG from the hip is extremely unreliable and is effective only at very short distances, which is not usually a position you aim to be. That player also highlighted the irony in the SMG challenge, required for the SCW-10, which requires kills while aiming down the sights, when that challenge would be much better suited to hipfire kills, and vice versa. Another Overly Demanding Challenge Another Reddit user highlighted a further incredibly demanding challenge, this time in the sniper rifle category to obtain the PSR: Secure 150 precision takedowns beyond 200 meters with long-range weapons This is difficult enough by itself, but there's an additional crucial factor to consider: most Battlefield 6 maps do not even allow combat at such a long range. There's a healthy variety of map sizes, but given there are merely nine levels in the game right now, it implies you must stick to playing a specific urban map, Mirak Valley, and perhaps Operation Firestorm in a best-case scenario if you plan to engage from afar from beyond 200 meters. The Alternative Method However, there is a solution: the portal. The Battlefield Portal is a feature that enables you to make custom game modes on the battleground of your choice, including AI opponents. This implies you can cheese the system… but it doesn't exactly feel like the spirit of the game. However, when doing the challenges in a proper game appears to work against fun, since you must engage in such an atypical style that doesn't benefit you or your team, who can blame someone for grinding them out in a private match so allies are not impaired? Potential Changes It is expected if a number of these missions are made easier in the near future, because unless they are modified, some players simply won't get their hands on the restricted guns. Currently, the player base continues to voice their opinions on these strenuous battlefield assignments, anticipating a more balanced gaming experience in subsequent patches.
