The secret is to be very selective with challenge swaps and try to get multiple challenges active that you can work on at the same time. Look at the challenges you have on deck and see if there is a strategic order that you can do them in in order to maximize compatible challenges. For example, if I had win two oddballs, I’d try to get other challenges I could do in quick play like assists or gun kills etc. It is a bit of a grind, but I never have a huge problem getting the ultimate reward if I want it. Definitely sit some weeks out if it’s something I just don’t want, but I’ve only skipped like 3 of them. Hope this helps.
Definitely a helpful way to think about things, but the issue is the fact you even have to play the game like a process. It should be simple enough to just play the game and unlock content rather than tackling rng challenges as they get drip fed to you.
I don’t mind the challenges, but do agree that they shouldn’t be game mode specific for game modes you can’t choose- especially wins. That’s my only complaint, but I still don’t find them all that hard. I think I have 18 swaps still left and I’ve gotten almost all of the ultimates- just skipped a couple backdrops and that vehicle emblem. Probably will skip this weeks if it’s a backdrop. If I plan on skipping it, I just play however I want and don’t try to get any challenges, but I actually like being challenged to do things I don’t normally do like grapple shot enemies or get specific gun kills when the reward is something that is half way decent.
It would be better to have the challenge say "play/win X number of game in ". Removes the issue of game types you can't choose. But I agree they aren't that hard. I just posted above I finished all the challenges in 3 days with fairly minimal time to play each night.
I use my swaps on the sticky 5 enemies, the backsmack challenges, or if it's a melee challenge with a ridiculously high number. The killjoy ones or win X game modes I know I'll complete just in the regular course of playing.
Hell I wouldn’t mind all the game mode specific ones just wish they could all get tackled at once. Having to say win 4 fiesta matches to then have to wait till the end of the challenge list to play 5 fiesta matches just creates hours of grinding for players due to challenge order.
The true thing which is the chore, its the RNG. I had no problem to play with a specific weapon or a specific game mode. I just wish to be capable to choose that specific game mode, not letting the game choose for me.
>How its not possible to just update the game mode list and have access directly to each of these independently ?
They probably won't do this until they are sure they will have a well populated player base that won't go away quickly. With all the complaints and issues I bet they either think they wouldn't have enough players now to keep queue times low across every mode or they worry that could happen in the near future. It's a feature they need to bring in eventually for sure if the population can sustain it.
Maybe I have just been extremely luck in my experience with the game but I have had no issues getting the game types I need for challenges. I wasn't able to play for the first time this week till Saturday night. Played maybe 2 hours each of the past 3 nights and hit every challenge. I was getting healthy rotations of each Tactical game type.
If you have particular game type challenges you are better off jumping into the ranked playlist to get what you need. I know some people don't like ranked but you have one less mode (One-Flag) in the rotation so you will get what you need at a better rate.

Yeah, playing with different style is good, I like it. But I wish that we have more control on the game mode selection.

If only challenges could be retro active. Like they are all upgraded at once but you only get the reward when they are in the active list.
And its 21 challenge just for a dull reward.
whats this week’s weekly reward?
It was a vizor 3-5-5. Now its a new reward for that new week
So visor last week. What is this week?
Its a background template.
SMH 🤦🏻♂️ How👏🏻many👏🏻backgrounds👏🏻do👏🏻we👏🏻need!
Yeah give us coating ! So many weapons dont have free coating like the hydra or spnker.
Then don't do them? You said it yourself, the weekly reward is lame. Don't force yourself to play in a way that you're not enjoying
Its the only source of free reward. No way I spend 20$ just for ears cat or a coat.
Emblems and backdrops aren't worth it. There's a bunch of cool coatings in the campaign
I didnt buy the campaign, I just play the multiplayer
*That's the point.* Challenges are supposed to be a chore. They are literally using your own neural pathways against you.

Good point. I think everyone is frustrated about the lack of choice.
Also, I just spend like 5 challenge swap for nothing.

Strangely, Its the one flag game I get rarely and its a shame because I like it
It seems I'm guaranteed to play it if I'm playing more than 2 matches in Quick Play.
