Tips for Completing Challenges
General Strategy
The majority of challenges are fairly simple. The main strategy is to use the gun however you prefer. Mount up for mounted kills, and move around while pre-aiming for general kills and crouched kills.
Specific Challenge Tips
- Mounted Kills: Ideal spots are near objectives with plenty of objects to mount on. Locations covering doorways on Al Bagra are great.
- Crouched Kills: Objectives inside buildings provide cover. Hide in corners and ADS into sites. Contested map areas like the pit on Raceway and the Farm 18 middle building are also good.
- Double Kills: Cover objectives like Hardpoint or Headquarters. Maps with good enemy funnels like the bedroom in El Asilo, the museum in Al Bagra, and the middle ruin on Taraq are effective. Spawn traps overlooking areas like the gates on Al Bagra or Sena Border Crossing can also yield results.
- Gold Camo (3 Kills Without Dying): Stick to your preferred playstyle. Mount overlooking a site, play a site and spray entrances, or spawn trap enemies.
- Platinum Camo (Longshots): Equip a barrel with better damage range and a silencer (e.g., FTAC Reaper). Look for long-range angles (around 35 meters for LMGs). Good maps include Embassy's outside areas, Raceway's pit lane, Taraq's cross-map angles (middle ruin to graveyard), and Invasion mode maps.
- Polyatomic Camo (Headshots): Specialize your weapon for ADS speed with attachments like a better rear grip, ammo, and barrel. Pre-aim angles on run-and-gun maps. For maps with funnels, use the double kill strategy, cover angles, and aim head height.
