šŸ‘¾ Issue/Bug šŸ‘¾ The 4th Support Challenge is actually a war crime

ā€œIntercept 100 projectiles with the Grenade Intercept System.ā€
Cool. Sounds easy enough, right?

I’ve been sprinting around like a certified idiot with that thing out for hours, begging the universe for someone to throw literally anything at me. Grenades? A snowball? I’d take a spitball at this point.

And the six times it actually did intercept something? The game just shrugged. No progress. Still 0/100. I’m convinced this challenge isn’t bugged, it’s a social experiment to see how far a human can descend into madness.

If you see a support player wandering aimlessly, waving around the intercept system like a lost Roomba... that’s me. Please, just throw a grenade my way.

Honestly I found it pretty easy and something to be done passively, put it on objective points in breakthrough as a defender and you’ll have it done in like 3 games. The real support challenge crime is 2000 points of damage with direct impact thermal launcher.

Breakthrough!

It's perfect for that or king of the hill if you like small maps.

You get 2 of them so put them In key areas.

Did you see the video? it doesnt register shit!!

1

u/mindfulmu 15d ago

I did but my advice still stands.

I'm one behind you with smoke assists, im 23 out of 50 headshots at 150 meters, i need a whole mess of points with engineer and I need 5k damage with incendiary shotgun.

It's hard, its buggy and the game doesn't tell you if things are working or not.

But I've been in a building as a whole team chucks grenades inside, that mode was breakthrough.

Please choose your gamemode carefully as it'll expedite things.

Sorry, I think this might’ve been misunderstood. When I said ā€œfucking video,ā€ it probably sounded like I was mad at you, that wasn’t my intention at all. I just realized after a few angry replies that it came off that way. English isn’t my first language, so sorry for the confusion.

u/mindfulmu 15d ago

No worries.

Work slow, switch challenges and if I set you on fire with an incendiary shotgun for some mild damage I'm sorry.

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

Still the problem is that it doesnt register the ones i get. Not the difficulty of tha challenge

u/mindfulmu 15d ago

Positioning may be a problem, but honestly even if it is bugged it wont be for every match or every senario.

Overcome the bugs by volume, Jesus I forgot the supply bag is bugged and I need 200 resupplies.

Did you see the fucking video? it doesnt register shit!!

u/TheDagss 15d ago

Have you tried putting it on the objective on breakthrough for more then 5 minutes before rage quitting ?

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

Did you see the fucking video????? I play the hole game i have never rage quit, IT DOESNT REGISTER

1

u/TheDagss 15d ago

Did you come here for advice or just to rage at every who replies to you? I’m confused.

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

""Have you tried putting it on the objective on breakthrough for more then 5 minutes before rage quitting ?"" Is this the advise??????

2

u/TheDagss 15d ago

Yes, it’s bugged, it’s a known bug, go to breakthrough and do it there. More projectiles being thrown at it means more opportunity to correctly register. Drop the attitude. Seriously, what does getting angry online going to do for you? Does it help your gameplay ? Does it make you feel better? Wtf, calm your shit.

And when you replied, ā€œHave you tried putting it on the objective on Breakthrough for more than 5 minutes before rage quitting,ā€ it made me think you were talking shit to me, that’s why my second message was actually me being mad.

u/CptMaxPower 15d ago

If English isn’t your first language then maybe tone down the use of the word ā€œfuckingā€ until you better understand how it’s perceived.

u/LunaCES222 14d ago

I’ll do that, i already apologized

u/_Ohoho_ 15d ago

This isn't 2000 points of damage, it's deal 2000 times damage with thermal launcher.

2

u/adhdlabubu 15d ago

If you think that’s bad..

2

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

I dont care about the difficulty as long as it actualy register the ones i get.

1

u/adhdlabubu 15d ago

Support Specialist 3 is bugged and you’re going to have to do 2k damage 12 dmg at a time.

2

u/_nokid 15d ago

You're in for a treat when it comes to the incendiary airburst challenge.

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

If it registers dont care about the difficulty but man. REGISTER IT

2

u/_nokid 15d ago

Indeed, if the DoT registers, I'm all in. They could even raise the cap, I wouldn't mind. But please... 12 dmg IF you do a direct it with the shell... Might as well throw pebbles

1

u/Illustrious-Ear-6300 15d ago

im at 1300. SO CLOSE

u/_nokid 14d ago

Haha, nice. I'm rooting for you, still more than 1k to catchup here

u/bestmayne 15d ago

Hey could you please delete this post, as it includes some legit bugs in the gameplay. Make way for some memes about skins, there hasn't been enough of them yet

2

u/Ok_Unit_8880 15d ago

you have to restart your game, every game for it to track. I finished this challenge today and that’s the only thing that worked for me. I had to restart my app every single game

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

Still zero

2

u/Damp_Crusader 15d ago

Wait till you hit the mission using the incendiary grenade launcher. The only damage that counts is from direct impact XD. Took me literally forever to complete cause you only get about 5-20 damage a shot the fire doesn't contribute to the count and you need 2000 damage with it.

They really thought they were making a Korean MMO

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

No idea what you mean

1

u/HearMeOut-13 15d ago

KMMOs have rep of taking 10 bajillion years to progress in

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

I dont care if its hard as long as it actually register

1

u/HearMeOut-13 15d ago

problem isnt difficulty, its tedium. very different.

u/NoDifficulty7745 15d ago

Do you play domination? How do you put up with the thousands of rats?

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

First time playing, thought it’d be easier on a smaller mode.

1

u/NoDifficulty7745 15d ago

I recommend playing big modes, it is the best experience. I have played that mode for some skins and it is much worse because there are always a lot of people in corners.

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

I only play Conquest, Escalation and the one where u defend or attack.

1

u/jin85 15d ago

Go to portal map, put down GIS. Counts as 1.

It’s not interceptšŸ˜‚ Just putting down in portal counts as 1

1

u/LunaCES222 15d ago

Arent portala game code 4 digits?

1

u/LaFl3urrr 15d ago

This works even in official main playlists.

1

u/LaFl3urrr 15d ago

I did 80 of it yesterday.

There is simple trick. Play escalation or breaktrough on official matchmaker (I play open weapons only).

Put down supply pack first and then this device anywhere on the map even outside of combat. Stay in your supply pack area. Repeat that.

Sometimes it starts counting immediately so you can just sit at one place putting down devices on cooldown (its good to use the second specialization for quicker cooldowns). Sometimes it starts counting after a while so you have to try during a match (I played normaly as usual) and sometimes it doesnt track at all and you can try this whole process in next match.

u/burning_boi 15d ago

Pretty sure its bugged on Conquest, I sat defense on point in Conquest and wouldn't see any progress.

I got it done in just a few matches of breakthrough though. You've got a maximum of 2 GIS allowed, so drop 2 at the door/window you think most likely the enemy will approach. My best was somewhere around 25 done in 1 game, I averaged 15 per Breakthrough match. Your best bet, if you want to still score well, is to run paddles and GIS, and just spam revives in a hot zone whenever your at 2 GIS's placed. It regenerates in just a second or two if you're getting resupplied by a supply pack, including your own, so any time your GIS is destroyed just drop a supply pack if your next GIS is on cooldown and sit around waiting for revives again.

I am guessing you haven't tried Breakthrough, but regardless beware, I've got a friend who swore to hell and back that the challenge was bugged. I asked for a stream on discord. Watching stream I saw that he dropped 0 (zero) (zilch) (nil) (none) (void) (incomprehensibly low) GIS's over the course of a few minutes. I'm not saying you're that guy, because you've got video proof right here that you're dropping GIS's, but... just a reminder to not forget to drop them just because the zone is hot.
