Here’s my night playing the Tactical Event trying to get the last challenge done for the last armor piece. For me it’s 7 kills with the BR. As you all know, Tactical randomly puts you into games with exclusively with certain weapons, meaning if you don’t get put into a BR game, you just have to roll the dice again.
3 Sidekick games
2 Commando games
2 Stalker games
1 Mangler game
0 BR games
Why is this the case? Why are complete RNG challenges still a thing?
It’s not even RNG it’s also rigged for this crap to happen. I played all afternoon for those 7 BR kills (which is also my last challenge). Never got BR’s. I played even more games than you. Got Manglers like 6 times.
This is why a match composer needs to be added to the game. All gametypes should be available to search at once, or just check the one you need.
If i’m in the mood for just slayer games, check that box. If I need an oddball challenge, check that one. Maybe I don’t care, check every gametype, and just have fun.
343, please give us the option.
Do you think you’re in the minority with this?
I imagine if this was happening to everybody there would be a lot more complaints.
I didn’t have any issues. I waited two games to get my mangler challenges and none to get my BR challenges.
Although I did do all mine in week one.
On another note - my last achievement in ‘Reach’ was map specific. Last remaining Spartan in an infection game. Never ever got the map needed to do the achievement in a three year period. It sucked big time!
I agree with you it shouldn’t be a thing, don’t set people a challenge and then put in a RNG system to determine whether they get the opportunity to actually progress that challenge or not.
As to why they do it, it’s designed to keep people playing the game longer, the longer people are in the game the better their metrics look and if you have more people playing and more people playing for longer that also helps ensure players don’t wait long for a match and also means there is more chance of people buying microtransactions.
I get that it does benefit the player base to have a larger pool of players to play with so more people playing is good for everyone but I think it speaks volumes that rather than focusing on making the game as fun as possible and using that to keep people playing, 343 have instead opted for a challenge system with RNG roadblocks to try and force people to keep playing.
Ya it rigged. I finally beat the tactical event and got all of the armor. Honestly halo infinite without a progression system and more social game modes has become stale. Gameplay is solid but that can only take you so far. No I fection, no king of the kill, no VIP, no assault, no shotty snipers, no grifball and every single game even social being sweaty.
This is why it lost so many people. Halo 3 was so successful because it launched with so many social playlists and some ranked slayer and objective. It took 7 years for 343 to put out a few objective playlists when Bungie put out everything in a 3 year duration. It’s sad that we are sold that this game is love service when they are just giving us barebones.
The tactical event sucks and they purposely try to keep you playing by not matching challenges with the matchmaking so you grind
I had the 25 BR kill challenge as well. I got 11 kills my first match then 13 kills the next time I got BRs. I was getting BRs pretty frequently until the challenge popped. Long story short I think I had to play about 15 matches or so to get 3 BR matches with that challenge. Then afterwards on the ultimate I had no issues finding the BR modes.
Like others have said the challenges are designed to keep you playing longer or for you to use challenge swaps. The one positive thing 343 did do this week is make the ultimate challenge for 50 headshots in any tactical slayer mode which was fair. The rng based challenges need to go or we should have the ability to work on all of our challenges at once rather than 3 or 4 at a time.
What you need to do is quit every game you get that isn’t BR Swat.
Not only will it help speed up you’re ability to knock off the challenge, but it will also reduce your MMR- and then when you search in the ranked playlist later- you will find games against players with lower MMR and make it much easier for you to rank up.
There is absolutely no penalty for quitting matches in this event play list.
Go ham and use it to your advantage, and don’t sweat betraying your team mates, as join in progress is active in the playlist.
Same exact thing here. Quit out and get temp banned. Terrible format, this is not an “event.”
Make it kills, headshots, whatever. Starting Weapon RNG is really a waste of time and a terrible attempt at inflating concurrent players.
