The weekly challenges are not really hard, specially after the “nerf” they received, the real problem with them is that they are TOO SPECIFIC.
For example, one of the new challenges I got after the nerf ask me to destroy a flying vehicle while I pilot a flying vehicle.
Really easy, that’s not hard at all, in fact I think I already did it at some point, the problem is that is TOO SPECIFIC.
1): First of all, I need to play in a map where there are flying vehicles, so basically only big team battles.
2): Then, I rather need to be lucky or camp the spawn points where I can get a wasp or a banshee.
3): Then, after manage to get one, I ALSO NEED to be “lucky” enough that someone at the opposite team also got a wasp or a banshee.
4): After complete this first 3 steps I can finally start to work on the challenge, where I need to fight with my enemy on a air combat and win, but there’s not only the posibility of lost, but also there’s the posibility that someone else on your team got the kill with a screwer, a warthog turret, etc (Your team is just not going to ignore the enemy in order to leave to you the killing blow, specially in a big team battle with so many players)
So, in order to HAVE A CHANCE with the challenge, you need to complete the first 3 steps, and then you need to be quickly enough to kill the enemy before someone else do it. Also take in count that the enemy can just be bad and kill himself in a stupid way or something, so if that happen you need to repeat the first 3 steps again.
That’s the problem with the challenges… not that they’re “difficult”, just that the scenarios where you can actually work on them in some case are very rare or demand you to play an specific game type (despite the fact you can’t choose what type you want to play, so if you have a challenge that demand you anything evolved with capture the flag, before you start to work on that challenge, you FIRST need to pass the RNG matchmaking and get into a CTF game and not anything else)
That’s what make them so annoying and bad, there are some really awfull challenges that ask you to do something super specific where you basically need to actively work and build that scenario in order to happen instead of just play normally.
