I don’t own the battle pass, so progression means absolutely nothing to me.
I would check my weekly challenges every now and then to get a sense of what was active, but didn’t run around chasing challenges. If I saw that I needed x kills with y weapon, I’d pick it up as a secondary if I came across it - just in case.
Beyond this, I just played the modes I felt like playing.
On Sunday, I checked my challenges and saw that I only had 1 challenge active: ‘Win 17 games’
I completed it within a couple of hours and got the ultimate reward.
I’m 32, have a family, and own my own business. I have very limited time to play, and only ever play solo with randoms.
If I can finish every weekly challenge while just playing to have fun, you can too! I guarantee you’ll have more fun just playing to play than getting frustrated over seeing the ‘wrong’ gametype 10 games in a row.
