Flag Return Challange

Games Halo Infinite
1

Trying to get the weekly reward and one my last challenge is return 10 flags in PVP. Alright that is easy enough… or is it…
Can someone tell me the best way to get this challenge? I have played about 10 games of quick play and ranked and am yet to get a capture the flag game.
Seems pointless for there to be challenges where you need a specific game mode and that game mode not be own selectable variant, but that is a topic of discussion for another time.

I had that one this week too. Don’t want to crush your hopes, but i needed about 80! matches for this one (only 4 of them were CTF).

Nothing you can do about the frequency of CTF games, but when you do finally get a CTF game, play as defence but let the enemy grab the flag before killing them. Even if the flag is moved an inch it is counted as a flag return.

I’ve wasted too much time on this game and have decided to use challenge swaps on this type of challenge now.

It’s reduced the frustration and feeling of wasted time a lot

You have to either use a challenge swap or keep playing until you get CTF.

Play BTB, always play BTB. There is always more chances the enemy is running a hit squad trying to steal the flag so you can camp and defend. Arm yourself with Dynamos and anti vehicle weapons.

To find a match, simple.

Step 1: Queue for BTB
Step 2: As soon as the Match Found! appears, hit tab and look at your fireteam (or yourself)
Step 3: As the mode is loading, it will show in your status (tab) what map and what mode you are being loaded into. If it’s not CTF, hit F1 and Sign Out.

Worked for me a great deal.

Easiest way is getting a CTF game with a team that kinda sucks. Let them grab the flag and then return it quickly.

The hard part is getting a CTF game and not having it end fast because either team scored the 3-5 points too fast.

I tend to swap out the challenges that require a specific mode in a playlist… takes ages enough to load into a match, and it most likely isn’t what I need. Plus, I don’t feel right quitting out, so that’d be another 10+ minutes gone :sweat:
