Do I need to be inside the dome for it to count?
Does later rings give more points?
And why is the amount required so high?! 5000?! just to put into perspective I used 4 heat shields and stayed inside it for the duration and only managed to gain 100+ points and after that I used around 8 - 10 heat shields and only managed to earn 300+ points granted though that they were both level 1 ring/flare ring.

Yeah, it's a bit weird.
Majority of the time I've played Apex: "Get inside the Ring! If you don't, you'll die!"
New LTM comes along: "Hey, man, come and chill outside the ring. Pop a heat shield and relax for a while. Can I get you something to drink? How would you like your burger? Hey, did you try the potato salad my wife made? How's work going? The kids doing well?"
Lol
Trust me, this challenge is infuriating.
The trick is to use them on the 4th ring, you waste a lot less time, but it's a horribly high goal tbh - if you play with a team, they're going to hate you for hanging back to farm heat shield points and if you're solo, you usually can't make it to the 4th round and stay in a heat shield without 3 squads rushing you I stg.
I'd understand if there was more time to do the challenge, but 5k shield damage in 2 weeks? I'm a student and still don't have enough time to farm it!
