Please stop forcing us to play Redsec for Challenges

Question

I am so tired of having to play Redsec (Battle Royale, Gauntlet, Strikepoint, etc. That part of the game) for challenges. For the last two weeks in a row, the main bonus challenge has been linked to that mode. Last week, it was complete 10 Battle Royale missions. This week, it's qualify in 10 rounds of gauntlet.

I'm struggling to even complete the gauntlet qualifying challenge because no one is playing it right now, or the matchmaking for it is horrendous. The only match I was able to find this evening at 5:30 PM (when presumably a lot of people on the game) was hosted in Europe. The guys chatting were Brits and my ping was 91. I'm in North America. I can't even find a game in North America!

What's most egregious about the bonus challenge being Redsec related is that it forces me to play Redsec to complete it. I can re-roll any weekly challenge except that one. So let it be known that every time I play Redsec, it's because the game forces me to if I want to get those 10 battlepass points.

Additionally, all I have ever used my re-rolls for is to get a challenge for a mode that isn't part of Redsec.

I'm so tired of this! Can't we at least re-roll that bonus challenge? Or get more challenges that aren't tied to any specific mode? I would rather play conquest, rush, or domination for this.

absolutely agree. I even deleted Redsec files to see if it forced a change.

Update: Now I'm working on a challenge to complete rush rounds and it. Puts me in an empty server. The horrible matchmaking makes this unnecessarily difficult.

Edit: I rerolled and got ANOTHER rush challenge. This is a joke

Gauntlet is fun ,&nbsp; you should adapt not the game. I've alrdy got 125 rounds steam achievement and all in game gauntlet related challenges , don't see a problem weekly being a Gauntlet quest.&nbsp;Also no one is forcing you to them , they give nothing but BR progression which can be grinded by just playing other mods. I don't see a reason why would this change.&nbsp;

Incorrect. It is forced if you want the 10 battle pass points you get from a gauntlet-tied weekly bonus challenge, which you are NOT able to re-roll. And I want the extra battle pass points.&nbsp;

The reason is because Redsec is a separate free-to-play game that is available in the Battlefield menus, and uses Battlefield assets. The people who paid money for Battlefield, should be able to play Battlefield and progress the weekly challenges and battle pass.
Currently the weeklies are trying to "encourage" Battlefield players to play Redsec by holding the weekly/battle pass progression hostage. Normally to progress a battle pass, you'd have to play Battlefield, but now it requires a different free-to-play addon.

Edit: Glad you're enjoying Gauntlet though, that's awesome!
