I currently have the challenges:
Kill 10 players with a cindershot
Kill 5 Players with a Wraith Mortar
I have never even seen a Wraith appear in Big Team Battle… I also have only ever seen the cindershot maybe 2 times and only managed to get a single Kill with it.
Is there something I am missing or are these challenges a little BS?
I mean it’s basically RNG whether the weapon or vehicle you need actually spawns. Wraiths and Scorpions are the rarest thing and I can go entire multiple BTB sessions without seeing them.
As far as the Cindershot goes, you can find them somewhat reliably in Fragmentation’s loot vaults, and it can spawn in Deadlock’s cave as well.
Bear in mind the Cindershot is better used at longer distances. If you zoom in with the weapon, you can actually guide the explosive round similar to Half-Life 2’s rocket launcher.
Yeah I just spent an hour and half trying to find a game/map that had the sniper so I could get one kill. . and then the next challenge was play 15 more games… Seems like you need to use to challenge swaps on the basically impossible to complete challenges.
The Sniper is fairly common honestly. The issue is when the Skewer spawns instead of the Sniper. You can get a Sniper pretty commonly in the BTB maps.
In Fragmentation, they spawn at the top right cliff of each base, in Deadlock it spawns at the broken Pelican, and in Highpower is spawns at the cliff you need the mancannon to get to. I think it can also spawn on the opposite side near the edge of the map, but sometimes it is either a Skewer or a Sword.
Like I said; I never even saw a sniper for well over an hour. I didn’t even get Fragmentation either. Are the gun spawns actually RNG or do they just change based on the mode? It seems so wildly inconsistent.
From what I’ve seen they’re completely RNG.
