Re: Octane's Gauntlet challenge was a stupid idea

@HeroEightyTwo Problem is that the first quest is to run the gauntlet (slide down one ramp onto the jump pad which will launch you through the ring of fire, incase you didn't know), while the second quest is to get 5 kills there, so basically the players that drop there both have challenges to complete but the second group has no option to kill anyone they can find because the kills has to be in that area, and if you're running around unarmed then you're a big target.
I suggest waiting for the players there to move on before going for the ring of fire challenge, just find a armour from somewhere else and camp out of sight till it's quiet there, also it's easier in solo queue

    It kind of amplifies my point. Here's a challenge which is made impossible because of the original nature of the game. You don't need a mission to kill people there as the original point is too kill everyone else anyway. So how are you supposed to get it done? Avoid players for fear of dying before you can complete it? Or just keep dying a thousand times until you luck out and land there alone? Defeats the reason you're playing the game.

    @HeroEightyTwo Hey, you can usually get to a relatively empty gauntlet on games where the dropship doesn't go near it/or flies  over it as it exits the map. You can also drop Airbase or Thunderdome and rotate through once you loot up. 

    On the other hand, games where the dropship enters over the Gauntlet you can try jump in and enjoy the chaos,but as noted, it's going to be nuts down there.
