Why make challenges that are near impossible to do!

Example; I’ve got a challenge that says kill 25 players with a BR! Well that would be easy if the game came up more often! Tactical BR seems not too come up every until every 10th round! Unless we can chose the game type please fix this it’s so Frustrating and if we quit out so much we get banned!

They’ve got systems in place to make you play longer that’s why. If you have BR kills you need, it’s quite well known that you won’t get games with BRs in them because they want you to play for longer as it means you’ll probably spend more money.

I need 3 mangler kills. Guess which games I’m not getting?

It’s fixed and is intentional.

I think that’s why half the people We play with are camping in corners etc

This is only a hypothesis for now.
Need more stats to back it up.
The claim is at first glance nonsense enough for i343 to not comment it at all.
Considering they’ve made the system, they can deny it, we’d practically have to go by their word on it, even if they lie.
Them confirming to have such a function in place would be, bad for PR because it’s not a great system to have in place as it is decieving.

What needs to be done is put the claim to the test, several players over 4 or so weeks with hundreds of games.
Then we have some foundation.

Without having actual proof through code, there is no way you could prove it.

It would just be anecdotal at best.

Yeah, not sure I believe that there’s a system in place to deliberately slow down your ability to complete challenges to get you to play longer. When I had a couple of “get kills with the mangler in Tactical Slayer” challenges, it generally only took one or two matches of getting BR or sidekick to get to Mangler Slayer. Heck, one of the non event challenges I had was “kill people defending their zone.” First BTB match I load into was Total Control. It’s completely random and sometimes that means you’re getting frustrated because you do keep randomly getting a setup you don’t need to progress.

25 kills with BR? that´s easy

Yep, I was just saying in another post that game mode specific challenges should not be a thing if you can’t select the necessary game mode, it spoils the game for me as it’s very frustrating. You feel like you’re wasting your time

Not really, when you collect data and have it available to show, then it’s not really anecdotal anymore, it becomes more of a “scientific study”.
If it would show to some sort of conclusion other than what’s expected of the system.
Like for instance, challenges require a specific game mode, and you experience a dip in their occurrence when you have the challenge active, and that happens on multiple occasions over a longer period of time through hundreds of matches, as well as different players experiencing the same thing, then we have proof that something’s not working as we think it should.
