Be honest, who beat the challenge mission today?

[Codename Quincy]

i pug'd for 2 hours, never made it past the break in fight.  i did the last 2 in pugs ok, but not this one.   my gear is all purple with 2 orange, and pretty much optimized, btw.

i kinda hate the bullet sponge method of increasing difficulty, but i wouldn't know how else to do it in a game like this.  i feel like an imperial guardsman trying to take down a chaos space marine.  i feel like a 9 year old with an airsoft gun trying to breach fort brag and overtake the delta compound.  when i was deployed, this was an actual nightmare i used to have.  my weapon being completely ineffective, and the enemies', not.

Damn shotgun runners are OPaf.

Yeah the challenges are hard core. I think they want you to do it as a group to promote team play or something but playing solo you will die...a lot.

Havent tried todays but have done the previous 2 with success. Took us about 1-1,5h and sometimes some frustration.

I like that it is a real challange that alot of people will struggle with or even be able to make it. Last mission I tried with 3 other people and we couldent make it and later on I tried with 3 others and it was a huge different. Better gear but smarter playstayle. 

In a couple of weeks when you have much better gear I bet it will be alot easier. 

Shotgunners best taken down with some kind of stun like stickeybomb and then all 4 players focus fire on him. Team Play is everything here.

no joke.  150 rounds to the chest and they don't blink, then blam.  i want one of those golf clubs those guys 1 shot you with too.

yeah the last 2 weren't near as hard as this one.  my gear isn't really going to get better though.  pretty much anything purple that drops = money.  i have a couple orange items that seriously are no better than purple stuff.  i don't know why game devs have such a boner for rng these days.  i hate it.  spent like 100k trying to roll out of a useless (to me) stat.
