No, no Challenge should rely on the player skill of the enemy to achieve.
Not just that, but by necessity it requires everyone else on your team to be so bad that they feed the enemies kills. If your teammates are doing their job in a game of slayer and are on par with the enemy’s skill level, you should never get a killjoy.
They gave out armor coatings… Pretty much no reason to actually bother with it.
Basically though the most intelligent way I could see someone going about it is if they intentionally let enemy team kill them for a while then they decide to kill people, rinse and repeat. Its pretty stupid (I would always challenge swap that one out because of how ridiculous it was) but its not impossible.
You can’t make this stuff up, how does 343 even think this would be a good challenge. Must be nice to have a job you can’t do and get paid.
Next challenge shoot the wings and tail off the wasp. Must shoot left first then right then tail.
There is already a challenge like that for Tenrai.
I could see this one being more likely if it were just to end a single killing spree instead of five. Most of the other challenges are dirt easy to complete. Complete X amount of fiesta matches, Get a double kill, Kill x amount of spartans in a fiesta match, ect.
Yea.
And I rerolled btw, I got kill 50 Spartans in Fiesta.
Why can’t we have that instead? Maybe Kill 100 Spartans. 100 kills come and go easily in Fiesta!
I agree. Killjoys are so random. You can’t tell who’s on a killing spree. Challenges should be something you can control.
They should be simple challenges like complete some matches… I like those ones, haha
Yea I randomly get 2 killjoys in one match, then not have a killjoy for 10 matches.
I have a life, I don’t play Halo or games for the matter all day long. I can’t keep pulling the RNG lever and pray I complete my challenges.
There is an easy way to get 5 killjoys tho, you rig the match by feeding with your team then kill the enemy.
Yea sure, that gets the challenge done, but are you having fun? You’re losing.
Considering I played 10 matches earlier and the players in my “rank” are all decently skilled, I saw ZERO kill streaks happen. I’m not looking forward to that challenge, especially when my challenges have been worse than a grade schooler learning addition at tracking numbers for the last two weeks.
Right this challenge in a sense implies that you have to hope someone on the other team is just slaying your team
If you don’t like the challenge then just swap it out. That is what the swaps are for. I swapped that one out myself. I know kill joys are somewhat rare in fiesta so I took the risk and swapped it and got a challenge of just completing fiesta games.
This, and “Get 20 Assists in Fiesta” are obviously just there to force you to use a Challenge Swap. Hell they might as well have just made it “Get 1000 Guardian Angel medals in Fiesta”. Your going to have to Swap it either way.
Challenge Swaps are finite, you don’t get infinite amounts of them.
343 can literally just pepper you with “impossible” Challenges and you will be forced to swap them out or lose out if you can’t complete them by the time the Event is over.
Don’t throw us a “solution” as if we didn’t think of it already. The entire point of this post is because we shouldn’t be forced to have this sort of Challenges gating our progression and fun, forcing us to spend finite resource to swap it out. Especially when they dangle the Challenge Swaps in the store for players to purchase.
This is considered predatory marketing and 343 should not be allowed to perpetuate it.
Yep, the kill-joy challenge is one of the worst there is. And getting 5 of those medals is just plain stupid.
But hey we also got a broken btb playlist and we are still getting challenges for it. Feedback for that was delivered numerous times, but nothing happens.
It’s not impossible though by any means. Five kill joys in a weeks time is totally possible. There is a nice range of challenges, some are tough and some are easy. The solution is swapping it wether you want to accept that or not. We get quite a few free swaps and if you use them smartly it’s not to tough to avoid the challenges that can take longer to accomplish. Also yeah btb is bugged but as 343 said most are away on a break. They probably just now are getting back to work. Fixing bugs isn’t as easy as simply flipping a switch. They will fix btb and hopefully, although unlikely, maybe gift out some swaps for players. If enough players start asking hey maybe they will.
Once I saw that dumb challenge i used my free skip. absolute trash.
I have definitely a lot more killing sprees in Fiesta than in any other mode. I also frequently manage to get Killjoys in that mode. I’d say it’s mostly due to Hammers/Swords being in play. All in all it took me definitely a few hours to complete but it’s something that just happened naturally while playing Fiesta.
What you’re right about though is that it’s not something you can actively go after. This arguably makes it a bad challenge. On the other hand people are arguing quite a bit that challenges should be more “just play the mode” instead of “do X for Y times in mode Z”. I’m pretty sure that the 20 assists took me longer in Fiesta than the 5 Killjoys.
This weeks Ultimate Challenge is “play 7 games of Fiesta” in case anyone is wondering.
The easiest way to get a spree on fiesta is when you spawn with rockets. That’s if you don’t blow yourself up!
I big skipped that challenge!
Right.
It’s one among many, and not necessarily active immediately. Maybe I’ll get mine friday or saturday night?
Then there’s always the Ultimate Challenge to look forward to, which can be even worse.
i343 selling a solution…
Maybe the swaps have been used up on other horrible challenges?
While BTB isn’t in a good spot, it would be in i343’s best interest to have some form of skeleton crew in place to at least disable challenges related to the mode.
I’ve got a nice little challenge of 15 warthog chaingun kills waiting for me.
And hammer and Cindershot, sword too.
But Killjoys are rare.
