@hayhorIt's not hard to rush a sniper especially in the Artillery arena which is why this challenge sucks lol. Unless you use it as a hip fire weapon, or the match itself is a sniper battle, or you're just a sniper god, trying this challenge to set you up lol.Honestly, I ran into a bunch of teammates and enemy squads that wanted to snipe on that map. It was stupid fun. I got pretty much all of my 5000 dmg task there, because of it.
Sadly though, This week I got 15 knockdowns using sniper rifles in Arena only. What irritates me about that is I just spent a bunch of time using snipers, I could have killed two birds with one stone had I got it last week. Also, the new map that they rotated artillery out for doesn't really work well with snipers for me personally. So, that kind of stinks.
Also, on a side note, I wish we could just normalize these types of tasks. Have them be available to do in both modes. I understand other stuff needing to be arena or BR exclusive (like Top challenges or winning round challenges), But things like playing as certain Legends or using certain weapons or dealing damage in general, should be available to do in all modes.
- Arenas challenges didn't replace any of the BR challenges, rather they were added as extras this season. So even if you don't do those challenges, your progression will be the same as last season.
- @JonStriker126 What you mention about the weeks stacking similar challenges is why you shouldnt even worry about challenges until the last few weeks. I complete so many together just playing normally.
It feels like the sniper rifles get the shaft in this mode. Most players are guaranteed to have a battery or two from 2nd round onwards. Long range battles are never especially long range... and if they are, then your opponent has surely looted a bin for more batteries.
Nowhere near as adaptable as a wingman or r-301, but too expensive to be treated as a secondary until quite a while in. Meanwhile you can be a close range god in round 1 by pairing an re-45 and an eva-8. The only sniper that does get around this issue of being too situational is the charge rifle.
- @Sati_Sati I haven't gotten this challenge.... Yet. And hope I don't. Bad enough I'm having to carry around a sniper for close combat.
I'll be so glad when this challenge is done cuz it's taking a toll on my kd & win percentage 😒
