The debut of the eagerly awaited Battlefield 6 garnered widespread acclaim, notably for its top-tier multiplayer mode. On Steam alone, live player figures surged to nearly 750,000. However, despite its popularity, many players are voicing discontent with several of the title's hardest challenges, which are required to unlock specific weapons.

Players have started resorting to personalized games set up using the Portal feature to complete them, emphasizing just how arduous these missions have become.

Comprehending Battlefield 6 Assignments

Assignments are Battlefield 6's fixed in-game challenges, in contrast to the regularly refreshed everyday and weekly missions. There are four types of assignments, but while the majority only reward outfits and select equipment, achieving the firearm tasks is the exclusive means of acquiring a dozen out of forty-one primary weapons found within the game.

A number of these restricted firearms may soon find their way on rankings for the top weapons in Battlefield 6.

Community Frustration via Reddit

Over on Reddit, players are understandably sharing their frustrations about how difficult and grindy a number of these challenges are. A particular gamer highlighted one of the most outrageous examples, needed to obtain the KTS100 MK8 LMG:

• Neutralize 300 foes with LMGs
• Inflict 10,000 hipfire damage with LMGs

"This challenge is so atrocious and totally unreasonable, I want to gouge my eyes out," is a statement that captures just how annoyingly hard these tasks are.

The suppression feature in the game is less effective than in previous titles in the series, so it doesn't have anywhere near as many advantages in battle as it had in previous games. It only tallies as suppression if you fire a burst without hitting the target.

Additionally, firing an LMG without aiming is wildly inaccurate and is effective only at very short distances, which is seldom the location you aim to be. The same user also pointed out the paradox in the SMG challenge, needed to obtain the SCW-10, which demands eliminations when scoped in, when that mission would be far more appropriate to hipfire kills, and conversely.

Another Overly Demanding Task

A different forum member brought attention to an additional excessively hard challenge, this time in the long-range weapon type to obtain the PSR:

• Achieve 150 headshot eliminations from more than 200 meters away with marksman guns

This is difficult enough on its own, but there's an additional crucial factor to consider: the majority of Battlefield 6 maps fail to facilitate combat at that kind of range.

There's a healthy variety of map sizes, but because there are just nine maps in the game currently, it means you're limited to playing one of the larger locales, a particular valley environment, and maybe Operation Firestorm if you're lucky if you plan to engage from afar from over 200m away.

The Bypass

Nevertheless, a method exists: the custom game tool. The custom game creator is a feature that enables you to design tailored experiences on the battleground of your choice, complete with bots. This allows you can exploit the mechanics… but it doesn't really seem like the spirit of the game.

Yet, if completing the missions in a normal session seems counterproductive, since you are forced to participate in such an atypical style that harms both you and your squad, who can blame someone for completing them in a custom game so allies are not impaired?

Potential Changes

It should not be shocking if a number of these missions are adjusted to be less difficult in the near future, because unless they are modified, certain gamers simply are unlikely to obtain the restricted guns.

Currently, the audience continues to share their thoughts on these strenuous battlefield assignments, hoping for a fairer overall gameplay in subsequent patches.
