Kill Enemy Spartans with the Pulse Carbine in PvP.
Since the challenge will not register EVERY killshot with the Pulse Carbine - this becomes very difficult.
Currently, for most Challenges, you need to do more damage than just the killshot for the Challenge to register - typically it works if you are using that weapon to also deplete their shields and THEN get the kill, it registers.
If this challenge was only for 1 kill, I consider completing it.
2 kills, is questionable.
3 kills I automatically swap it.
Actually using the Pulse Carbine to register 3 kills for this Challenge is incredibly difficult.
I would like to suggest 343 removes the ‘3’ version of this Challenge, at the minimuim. (I’d be happy if they removed it entirely, since this weapon isn’t meant as a killing weapon, but I digress).
Overall, the Challenges have gotten a LOT better in Season 2 - but this one still REALLY bothers me.
I’ve never once completed this challenge. I gave it a decent attempt last week, but after 3 games with Pulse Carbines on the map and 0 kills I’ve decided to just always skip it. It’s an awful challenge for an awful weapon. It needs to be removed.

It’s a useful weapon - but not for killing. Stripping shields is great.
Given how the challenge system doesn’t register if you don’t ALSO do more damage than only the killshot, it becomes even harder.
Like, if you tossed a grenade into 2 enemies and took their shields down with that 'nade - then swapped to the Pulse Carbine and killed them both with that - it won’t register for the challenge
Super frustrating.
Im with you on that one man. The sidekick one pisses me off big time. I use my AR or whatever to melt their shields, then switch only for it not to count. It bothers the all living hell out of me. Never had the Pulse Carbine challenge yet, but Im sure its the same frustration… And if i did have the challenge, I probably immediately swapped it
