Squad Deathmatch - 5 team wipes challenge

bump

Like many of the challenges, it's pretty much just luck. The only 'challenge' is gritting your teeth to play game modes you don't much like many more times than you want.

Just got a weekly mission to get 5 multi-kills in Team Deathmatch. Turns out these are THREE or more kills too, not two.

Incredibly unlikely in this game mode. First weekly challenge I'm just not going to do.

(And no, I couldn't re-roll it because I spent all the re-rolls on others I really didn't want to do and I thought  multi-kills meant two or more in this one so it wouldn't be too hard...)

Yeah this challenge is 95% luck based. With no spawn timer and rounds lasting less than 8 minutes due to and insanely low kill limit of 50, you basically need the stars to align and be handed this challenge. Even though they reduced the count to 2, it's still all luck-based.

You basically need to get lucky by getting your first squad wipe within the 2 minutes of the match, and then pray you'll either get lucky by nabbing that last kill within the 2 second window of an enemy team member respawning, or that some team won't have 4 players which increases your odds of getting a squad wipe when you get a kill. 

Not brag, but to drive home my point, I average around 20+ kills per match, have our squad come in first place 67% of the time, and after hours of attempting this, nothing to show for it. I know this is just a challenge for a game, but come on, make it make sense.

This challenge incentives you to leave matches early if I don't have your first squad wipe by the halfway point. This challenge, which feels like was written by AI, doesn't respect my time and effort, so I don't really want to waste my time by finishing matches that I already know won't result in me completing this challenge. They can either tweak the game mode or change the challenge. I dare a developer to live stream themselves completing this challenge and saying that this is reasonable. This was never tested, but that's already obvious.

Even having something like 5 or 6 double kills in a single match would make more sense. Having your teammate's squad wipes count towards progression and bumping the required squad wipes in a match to 3 or 4 would make even more sense. It would reward team play which is what this gamemode is all about. None of these proposals are handouts, but certainly achievable if you put the effort in. Only reason why you don't hear about this complaint as much is because not as many people play this game mode to begin with.

did they do anything with this challenge with the patch?

Finally completed all the challenges (3 wipes in a single round and then 1 wipe in each of my next two matches!!), and it took another few matches (with a Marauder 7 not even earning a single wipe, and countless times running out of ammo at the wrong time), to get another 2 in a single round so it's definitely doable, just annoyingly fluke based.

Saint's Quarter is definitely the easiest map to earn wipes on - I recommend using Recon class with TUGS, pokeballs, decoys, and even claymores (which are surprisingly effective) to give you the best chance

DICE please let me pay money to win this challenge, it would put less strain on my neurological system.
