I’m not going to go into what’s wrong with the challenge system. It’s well documented here.
But I do have ideas on how it should be fixed in a way to support having multiple playlists.
I think the weekly challenges need to be more generic and generalized. Right now challenges are far to specific. They can’t be achieved through organic gameplay.
Challenges like getting 200 kills, getting 100 headshots, getting 15 assassination, etc… these are things that happen organically in gameplay no matter what your skill level is or what playlist you’re playing.
You can extend these challenges to award more exp by giving them different levels.
Level 1- 50 kills, level 2- 100 kills, etc…
I shouldn’t have to think about how I’m going to complete weekly challenge. I should just complete them organically through gameplay no matter what my playstyle, weapon preference, or playlist choice is.
Leave the more specific challenges as long term challenges to completed over the course of the season. If this season is focused on BTB, make some seasonal BTB related challenges. Things like win 50 BTB matches, get 100 kills in wasps, etc… then have those tied to significant exp rewards, but also something cool related to the thing the challenge is based on. If I get 100 kills in wasps, give me a skin or something for the wasp to show that off.
Scrap the challenge swap entirely and make all weekly challenges available to be completed at the same time.
There is no problem with having challenges directly tied to BP progression as long as you can complete those challenges through normal organic gameplay.
Just my opinion.
