In no particular order- but these are all instantly swapped.
1- get Melee kills from behind. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
2- ANY ranked challenge. Bye Felicia
3- get x kills with (ravager, pulse carbine, shock rifle) no thanks.
4 - ANY ctf challenge- or mode specific challenge that can only be done by spinning the BOGUS roulette wheel that is the “quick play” playlist. I’m not trying to have an aneurism playing quick play for hours just to get a single oddball game. Give me a break.
And lastly, 5) defend a teammate from a long distance or whatever it is. Such a seldom occurrence in game that I’drather just not stress it
Much easier since one of the updates. Looking at Halo Data Hive I have 87 medals already (S2). Easy one to keep ticking over.
Lucky me, I like playing Ranked.
These ones can be fun. You can either wait for the right game (eg. Tactical Slayer) or just pick them off in Fiesta. And it doesn’t take a few seconds to google where they spawn on any particular map.
The Ravager would have been a dodgy one before it’s recent buff. Much easier now.
Pulse Carbine is ok.
Shock Rifle is a go to weapon.
These ones are -yoink-. They need to be more general… or at least have two or three options. Having to spin the roulette wheel is unnecessary. Having said that I’ve been fairly lucky with said wheel (playing a lot of ranked).
I actually swapped out of that one recently. Only to nail it two games later. Looking up on Data Hive I got 24 in S1 and have 7 in S2. So they seem to happen fairly regularly anyway! But would be an annoying one to try and do deliberately.
but this one is duable, i just feel like i mostly get them when i don’t need them… I have 220 in total though…
I am not that thrilled about ranked, but i don’t mind that challenge either.
Since when are eithe the ravager, pulse carbine or shock rifle in tac slayer?
But the shock rifle is a good weapon, so that one is easy to get kills with (you just need to get one though…) The ravager after the buff is okay indeed, before that it was rubbish. The Pulse Carbine is just a rubbish weapon to get kills with, but i never skip that one, since it’s also a very easy weapon to get (on a lot of maps and no one is trying to get it)
I have 47 Guardian Angels (most of them with the Shock Rifle), but this one is an anoying challenge indeed. Especially since you have to wait with helping your teammate out untill his should is down. This is just a horrible challenge for that reason already.
They really, really need to change all objective mode specific challenges to simply be "Complete X number of objective mode matches).
The way that matchmaking is structured, it’s an immense waste of time and energy to try to match into a Strongholds or Oddball match on purpose, and the challenges for those modes and the CTF usually just sap the fun from the matches anyways, as they take players’ eyes off the ball (literally or figuratively) in order to check arbitrary challenge boxes.
The big challenge and progression overhaul literally cannot come fast enough.
There are certain challenges I keep around for a while. I won’t swap out an early melee challenge but I’ll be -Yoink!- if my last challenge is going to be 0/5 back smacks.
I would certain take back smacks over Guardian Angel. Land grab is usually chaotic enough that backsmacks aren’t all that uncommon. LSS is not too bad either since the radars are not active. Or any map that has the invisibility if you can nab it.
