I thought I should share my knowledge with the Waypoint community seeing as a tough daily challenge of getting two assassinations appeared today. Well I say tough, this one was surprisingly easy. All I did to get mine was play a game of Alpha Zombies in the Infection playlist on Countdown.
In Infection there seems to be AFKers for short periods of time (or the whole game in some cases). The trick is to find Zombies stood still, look for the spawn points and obviously when no one else is around, kill them.
I found out that the two rooms either side of Countdown on the ground floor are great to do this challenge if you have an AFKer in the game. They should spawn in either of the two rooms and those rooms don’t get used very much, if at all. It may take a few days but you can simply work towards the ‘Blastin’ and Relaxin’’ challenge if you don’t find anyone.
Getting assassinations in any playlist is astoundingly easy.
In Invasion/objective games, you know where the enemy team will go, what paths they will take to get there, where their attention will be while going there etc. (Plus you can use the same logic to place yourself in a situation where your teammates are being focused on, but this often leads to yoinks)
In the playlists with lots of noobs and/or chaos on small maps, nobody even checks their radar. I went on rumble pit a while ago, got a match on pinnacle. Nobody knew about the power weapons or the teleporter, not a single person turned around while I chased them down. Most of them had jetpack instead of sprint to boot.
