The debut of the highly anticipated Battlefield 6 was met with widespread acclaim, particularly for its premier multiplayer mode. Just on Steam, simultaneous player numbers reached a high of nearly 750,000. Yet, despite its popularity, an increasing amount of players are expressing frustration over a portion of the release's toughest challenges, which are required to obtain particular firearms.

Gamers have begun resorting to personalized games set up using the Portal feature to achieve these objectives, highlighting just how demanding these assignments have become.

Comprehending BF6 Objectives

Tasks represent Battlefield 6's ongoing multiplayer objectives, different from the periodically changed daily and weekly challenges. The game includes four categories of assignments, but while the majority only reward outfits and select equipment, finishing the gun missions is the sole method of acquiring 12 of the 41 key firearms found within the game.

Some of these locked weapons could shortly earn a place on rosters of the finest arms in Battlefield 6.

Gamer Backlash across Reddit

Over on Reddit, players are justifiably voicing their concerns about how difficult and grindy some of these challenges are. A particular gamer highlighted one of the most extreme examples, needed to obtain the KTS100 MK8 LMG:

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

"This mission is so awful and totally unreasonable, I want to tear my hair out," is a statement that captures just how excessively challenging these tasks are.

The suppression feature in the game is more diminished than before in the series, so it lacks nearly as many positive effects in fights as it had in previous games. It only counts as suppression if you miss multiple shots in a row.

Meanwhile, hipfiring an LMG is highly imprecise and functions solely at extremely close range, which is seldom the location you aim to be. The commenter also pointed out the paradox in the SMG challenge, required for the SCW-10, which demands eliminations when scoped in, when that mission would be considerably more fitting to hipfire kills, and the other way around.

Another Ridiculously Tough Challenge

A different forum member pointed out an additional excessively hard challenge, this time in the long-range weapon type to unlock the PSR:

• Achieve 150 headshot eliminations beyond 200 meters with marksman guns

This is difficult enough by itself, but there's an additional crucial factor to consider: most Battlefield 6 maps fail to facilitate combat at those extended distances.

There exists a reasonable assortment of map sizes, but given there are merely nine levels in the game currently, it implies you must stick to playing New Sobek City, a particular valley environment, and perhaps an additional option at a push if you aim to take long-range shots from over 200m away.

The Bypass

However, there is a solution: Battlefield Portal. The Battlefield Portal is a system that permits you to make custom game modes on any map you prefer, including AI opponents. This means you can bypass the intended method… but it doesn't exactly feel like the developer's vision.

Yet, if completing the missions in a normal session feels like anti-playing, since you have to play in such an atypical style that offers no advantage to anyone, who can blame someone for finishing these in a personal session so squad members are not disadvantaged?

Upcoming Tweaks

It should not be shocking if a number of these missions are adjusted to be less difficult in the next few updates, because should they remain unchanged, a portion of the user base simply will never acquire the locked firearms.

Currently, the audience continues to express their views on these demanding multiplayer missions, anticipating a more balanced overall gameplay in coming revisions.
