Challenges - We have a waypoint challenge

So the new weekly challenges have gone up. We have the normal War Games, SpOps, and campaign challenges, but we also have a “waypoint” challenge of “to be precise” (for a nice 7000 exp as well) Is this just a name for challenges across different game modes? (seems terribly easy if it includes SpOps - two runs through sniper alley should hit 200 precision loadout kills). Have I missed anything on what a Waypoint challenge is?

Old news - you are two hours late buddy.

I’m pretty sure that SO doesn’t count for the challenge. I just played a few games and it didn’t increase for me.

Please do tell if the waypoint challenge works in spops.

Nope not getting credit for the kills.

Hmmm interesting. Gonna test that.

Cant say im surprised but oh well.

Yeah I get that it’s been up a couple of hours, but I wasn’t on. I checked the first 10 or so pages for threads but didn’t find anything but people upset about maps, so raised the question.

So if SpOps doesn’t count (and presumably campaign?) what makes this any different from an extra weekly War Games challenge? Anyone know?

Is this challenge only available in War Games? I tried in Spartan Ops & Campaign but no kills were awarded. If it’s only available in War Games, why is it a ‘Waypoint’ challenge, and not a regular War Games challenge? What’s the difference?

I don’t know why it is called a Waypoint challenge. All I know is that 200 precision kills is too easy to be a weekly challenge. Played for one hour and got 68!

I guess there is none. Just extra XP for us!

i just did the one for solo legendary and it did not give it to me :confused:

It’s just an extra challenge to complete, but I remember 343 saying there is something special about them.

Either way, its only for War Games. I am half way to 200 already.

Pretty sure it’s the first “Infinity Challenge” (the challenge starts on the 10th of dec) that’s why its a waypoint Challenge…

I don’t know why so many people are confused about this!

Ah that kinda makes sense, I hadn’t thought of that (or paid much attention to how the competition works - is it challenge based?).

I guess people are confused because it’s not been made explicit outside of the competition, yet it’s something that people who haven’t paid attention to the competition will stumble upon.

Now we just need them to bring custom challenges back.

Actually this doesn’t seem right.

Says that this starts on the 17th Dec.

And this:

Shows the first challenge isn’t up yet.

Any other ideas?

If they bring those back, I hope they change them so you can’t make them like you hit the cap in an hour.
