weekly mission
i'm stuck at work, can anyone tell me what this week's "mission"/unlock is?
Forum Discussion
So I've gotten 10 take downs since I got home, and also noticed how buggy it is to initiate the takedown (Literally went behind dude controlling drone, and all it did was repeatedly slice his back till he died). and am not getting credit for the takedown. Everything else I got credit for pretty quick. Add this to another long list of bugs with this game.
Same issue. Repeatedly sneaking up on people only to slash them rather than a takedown, frustrating!
- @Banester I have allso noticed that you can stab/punch someone to death and get a "melee-kill" without any special treats, but with the same button you sometimes initiate the takedown-animation, and get the "dogtag taken screen". (even though those dogtags are nowhere to be found after that?)
Kind of wierd, or am I missing something? Dunno don't have a weekly mission, thing popped up when I started game up yesterday but no mission, so far I have had 2 missions with only 2 objectives 2 that I could complete, now nothing lol.
Apparently you must initiate the takedown animation for it to count (not got one myself yet to confirm).
@Sneakyofsneaks That's a known bug with the weekly missions and I'm told that EA Help should be able to grant the skin you won't be able to unlock. There's a thread about it below of you wanted to check: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Weekly-task-missing/td-p/11083709/page/3
- @ElliotLH Tried chat they said couldn't help twice so given up, not had the no mission one before.
- @Sneakyofsneaks I'd go back to them and point to the thread I've shared in that case. Assuming you're bothered about getting the skin of course, I understand if it wouldn't be worthwhile.
Does anyone else find these weekly "challenges"a bit too easy. I managed to do this weeks mission in a single match. I understand that it should be appealing to the casual gamers and you shouldn`t spend days for a simple skin, but still... 25min to finish the mission is a bit to easy. I think the difficulty should be increased, but also the reward of course.
Also i think it would help bring back players and keep them engaged.
What is your opinion? Is it too easy?

Depends on the week. Some of them are easy and some take much longer. For example most people can knock out X kills in a few matches, but resupplies or revives could take longer.
I think most of the tasks are in a good place (not a fan of this melee one and it'll take me a while but it's doable) but I'd really prefer a heavy focus on tasks promoting PTFO over difficulty.

Yeah they usually take less than an hour.
Wish they would add a couple of challenges each week

Kind of wierd, or am I missing something?Might be a dumb question, but you do know that you have to hold the button for a takedown and not just press it?
- @BizzyVaping Aha, thank you!
Clearly I'm the dumb one.. 😁👍🏻 - @BizzyVaping Yeah, been playing BF a while, even had a nice collection of dog tags under me. There's some issue goign on in 2042. Holding it just slices, then nothing.

i'm going to have to try that. maybe that's why the takedown thing has been so buggy for me (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't). got my "missions" done last night in two matches, only reason it took two was i was focusing on flanking to find a "sniper" for my takedown. shot the guy next to the one i got a takedown on and the one i did the takedown on didn't even react...they were maybe two meters apart...i love oblivious people
