    I memory serves there needs to be someone else driving it or at least still registering as a team vehicle. If you have a friend you can play with, you could try it with them driving and see if you repairing counts on the tracker.

    DeeRSoos​ From what players are saying, the big thing is that the smoke itself needs to be helping your team get the takedown. So it is not just about throwing smoke out as Support, it is about placing it where teammates are actively fighting and getting kills through it or right around it.

    What seems to work best is running Support with Smoke Grenades, staying stocked on ammo, and using your smoke on chokepoints, objective entrances, and busy push lanes in modes like Breakthrough or Rush. It also helps to keep your smokes going back-to-back instead of tossing one too early and letting it clear before the fight starts.

    One thing to keep in mind, too, is that revives in smoke do not seem to count for this challenge. It is specifically tied to smoke assists, so the goal is to help create cover that leads to teammate kills while the smoke is still active.

    I had a thing on this written up; if I can find it, I will send it to you.

  • Maybe not on Gauntlet -- but I believe 'objective' is in the area of a flag : i.e. the thing you spot have to be near the flag

    ok so the vehicle one, theres vehicles on all the maps, and one of the modes is just tank battle.  Does someone else need to be driving the vehicle? does it need to be damaged by enemies?  cuz i repair as much as i can when im engineer...and that needle does not move. 

  • Smoke assist = your teammate kills an enemy inside the smoke cloud created by your smoke grenade or launcher. Just throw them into the crowd during the close contacts, and you'll finish the assignment in no time.

  • I did it in Breakthrough, but didn't use the mortar. I just hung back slightly from where lots of my teammates were, and threw smokes towards nearby enemies. I can't remember exactly, but I think it might also count if you chuck a smoke near someone who is being revived. It'll probably be harder to do in Gauntlet but you might be able to adapt it.

    The vehicle repairs one I just did naturally during matches. I guess you would need to wait for that vehicle mode in Gauntlet or hope people shoot at a vehicle you're the passenger in for RedSec. 

    I'm not 100% sure about what counts as an objective when it comes to the tracking in Gauntlet, unfortunately. Hopefully someone who plays it regularly can answer that one. 

  • le sad face. alas i am poor and i have to play the free parts for now. 

    i made it go up one.

  • go breakthrough and fire smoke mortars into objective areas, think thats how i got mine lol.
