Word of advice: work on the capstone ASAP or throw your matches

This probably is the worst one, I agree. I mean, assuming you played perfectly the opponent would never get a killing spree in the first place. Now, I know most people don’t play perfectly, but still, a challenge they you can’t complete unless your team gets killed repeatedly is just dumb. And then if

A little update on my end, I managed to get it after maybe 7 or 8 games but ironically the only games I was getting killjoys were when my team was getting wrecked. Which to a degree makes sense if you’re playing against a bad team they most likely aren’t going to have any killing sprees.

Basically you need to be on a team that’s dying a lot which is just thinking about it is just backwards on how challenged should work lol not try to do bad so you can get a medal. Stupidest challenge by far.

Yep I got it in very few games, and I didn’t throw any of them either. But more times than not my team was walked on or the enemy spawned all rockets and hammers.

Just another example of how badly 343 have designed the game. It’s not even the worst example.

Can some 343 people please get sacked? Starting from the top would be good.

Hey 343, I have an idea that you are REALLY going to like and is in line with your plans.

Keep these impossible challenges in the game and when players can’t complete them, give them the option to pay for it to be unlocked.

:smiling_imp:

Yeah, instead of going for those challenges, I rlly just get turned off to the progress of actually trying to do it. It ISNT worth the frustration or the time or the hope of actually achieving it.

I’d probably care more if the weekly rewards warranted the effort.

I guess in my head I assumed the weekly rewards were going to be something serious, like whole armor sets. Honestly, the only one o cared to get intentionally was the Willow Tea, and even that wasn’t something to write home about.

wow, yeah, i can see how the final challenge encourages farming. Hopefully I just suck enough where the enemy will likely get sprees on me. But no doubt it will take a while.

I agree with both of you.

I play fiesta too much and it feels like every game, I get at least one killjoy. Most of my games I get 20 kills {not bragging, it’s fiesta, it’s nothing to be proud of :joy:, and it’s down to poor SBMM teaming me with people who get 5or6 kills each).

However, if I didn’t play fiesta a lot and a similar difficulty/luck challenge was put into a playlist I never play such as Infection (well no-one plays that now but you get the point😂) or SWAT then I’d be frustrated too.

It’s like they’re using the challenge system to make people try new things which is ok (except when it’s oddball and they don’t give you oddball) but then give challenges that are so niche or a high level for some that it ruins the experience.

The annoying thing is I’ve finally started playing campaign this week, completed everything except LASO (wish me luck) so I might only play a small amount of fiesta in the most suitable week :roll_eyes: and I played one fiesta game yesterday and couldn’t feel my fingers after campaigning so much I had to switch off :joy:

The Fiesta Killjoy Weekly Ultimate is similar to the Revives Challenges in Attrition. If you and your team are good? You ain’t getting the challenge done. I’m personally going to chat with my team. Tell them to purposefully suck, so I can achieve this challenge.

I bet people like me who have their chat off annoy you :joy: and there’s me running around like a headless chicken sweating wondering why I’m the only one trying :joy:

Nah. Not really. If I do chat, and communicate my map awareness to my team, and I see ‘Rambo’ go off and kill themselves? I just assume they can’t read English. But I also appreciate their sacrifice. They let me know where the enemy is at, and to avoid the area.

Play with a friend that’s bad and itll come naturally. But really yea this -Yoink!- be a “challenge”.

haha. Halo fans are the biggest babies. How did you all survive the halo 3 challenges?

Just fine I completed them all.

The difference here is a circumstantial challenge that does not reward you for playing well, it’s the total opposite.

Lmfao. I just play the game just to play it without even trying I finished the capstone. It’s not that hard, nor do you have to throw matches to get it done. If you are having trouble or throwing matches, that’s on you and not the game.

ha. If “Save this Film” “Have Run Respawning” 'Killtacular" or “Two for One” from Halo 3 were required to unlock something in Halo infinite, people would have an absolute meltdown. 3 killjoys in fiesta aint bad.

Lmao. Those give you the entire lifetime of the game to complete. Quite a bit longer than 1 week.

I had a regular challenge for Fiesta that was the same, but required me to stop 5 enemy killing sprees. Was done in less than 7 matches.

This is not a hard challenge, just play the mode.

It would be funny to see a standoff between 2 parties of 4 both trying to let the other team get killing sprees. Like noone is shooting and they are just standing still in front of eachother
