Squad Deathmatch - last challenge
Get two squad wipes in a match of Squad Deathmatch.
In my view, this challenge should be changed. In general, this isn't a challenge by definition if you think about it. Challenges should be at the very least challenging. The problem I have with this one is that it's essentially a game of chance rather than one based on skill and persistence. To complete this one, you need to be lucky enough to catch off-guard squads that run together (bear in mind most of the lobbies are just randoms rather than pre-made parties) and wipe 2 of those in one game within 3 seconds (a time from death to rez), pretty much. The 3-second part is a challenge, and that's fair, but finding them sticking together is a game of chance. In general, I am a completionist and have now completed almost all challenges (only the new ones from BR and Gauntlet remain). I have spent hours trying to grind this one in Squad Deathmatch. The fact that this has been left to luck rather than genuine skill is basically sucking the fun out of the game, and for someone like me who likes to have everything completed (yes, I know, that's my problem), it makes the game quite annoying. Squad Deathmatch is not my preferred game mode, and yet I found myself grinding for hours just for this one challenge, coming quite close at times (purely due to luck). However, I did not complete the challenge, as the games are very short as well. Please don't disregard this and consider changing it to something more skill-based. I would really like to return to playing modes I enjoy more, such as conquest or escalation, but the little monster on my shoulder keeps dragging me back to tick this box off, which brings a lot of frustration.
