The Flat Tire Daily Challenge usually comes up anywhere from once to three times a week, in my experience. My problem with this is that I’ve never completed the thing. I can seldom find a gametype/map combination that allows for enemy vehicles, and when I finally do, there’s usually only one vehicle, dropped right at the end. Then when I go to kill it, it either doesn’t count, or a teammate of mine gets it. It’s very rare that I get the circumstances of a vehicle appearing, me killing it, and then that counting for the challenge.
So why is it so hard for me to find enemy vehicles in Firefight? Am I the only one with this problem? I remember in ODST, you had maps like Lost Platoon, where a Wraith and a few Choppers were dropped every other wave or so. I wish it was like this for Reach’s bigger maps. Vehicles would work for maps like Overlook, Glacier, Unearthed, etc. I also prefer the bigger, more open maps to the smaller, corner-camping maps, so this would be a win-win for a Firefighter like me. So anyways, why can’t I just find a vehicle? I don’t get it.
Well, first you should play FF Limited since most of the time the vehicle drops in Arcade FF are deactivated.
Best map for the challenge is Beachhead. This map has two Wraith and one Ghost “spawn”. And the chance that Phantoms are dropping them is pretty high. Have Fun.
Your best chance is going into Score Attack alone. Nobody can steal your kills. You’ll have to survive to the end, and you’ll only get a couple vehicle kills a game, but it works.
Score Attack is actually a rather poor choice because vehicles only appear at the start of the 5th wave - if they appear at all. I’ve played countless games on Beachhead without any vehicle showing up at all. No Ghost, no Wraith, no nothing.
However, Holdout is actually not bad because of the Banshees that keep spawning. Rocket Attack on Holdout, if you’re lucky enough to get it, is a guaranteed three Banshees if you’re patient and take your time; Banshees appear to be on a time-based respawn cycle regardless of how quickly or slowly you proceed through the waves of Covies. So the longer it takes, the more Banshees spawn.
Holdout- Banshees 2 per set
Beachead- Wraith/Ghost 1 per set
Corvette- Wraith 1 per set
Those are the few I know of that you can get on 2x Score Attack.
Flat Tire used to be 10 Vehicles…
