Recently, we introduced updates that increase the XP earned in official matches and reduce the XP needed for the first 20 attachment ranks.
As we continue to build on the improvements we mentioned previously, we are also delivering a major overhaul of Challenges and Assignments, guided by gameplay data and your feedback. Some of the adjustments in this update are substantial, and we wanted to share more context on how we arrived at them.
This update makes significant reductions to challenge requirements, cutting down on time investment while maintaining a focus on skill-driven progression that rewards consistent play. Challenges and Assignments are tuned around defined playtime targets, and these changes bring their requirements in line with those goals to make them more achievable within a reasonable session length.
Assignments will continue to range from goals you can complete through regular play to a few that reward true mastery, particularly those tied to cosmetic items. Some of the original criteria did not fully reflect that intent, and we have updated them to make their difficulty and purpose clearer.
The first set of changes went live today through a server-side update and are available immediately. Any progress you’ve already made will automatically be applied when you enter a match, unlocking any challenges or assignments you now meet based on the updated criteria.
As previously indicated, the scale of our plans for Challenges and Assignments are large and will take place over multiple server-side and client-side updates, expect additional updates in the future.
We wanted to get the first set of changes into your hands as soon as possible while we prepare further game updates. We’ll follow-up with more details on the rollout in the future.
In this first set of changes we made a total of 90+ adjustments to Challenges and Assignments. Below we’ve highlighted a few examples.
Class Challenges
Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon challenges now complete much faster.
Assault 2: Have Squadmates deploy on your Spawn Beacon.
Reduced from 50 deploys to 5.
Support 2: Revive teammates as Support.
Reduced from 200 revives to 60.
Weapon Assignments
All weapon-type assignments (ARs, SMGs, LMGs, Shotguns, DMRs, Snipers, Carbines) have been significantly simplified.
Rapid Fire 1/Assault Rifle: Inflict damage with Assault Rifles.
Reduced from requiring 10000 inflicted damage to 3000.
Mode & Unit Assignments
The majority of our mode-specific assignments (Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, Domination, and others) have been standardized to require two wins per tier. This change makes it easier to pursue these challenges with clear intent.
Conquest 2: Wins in Conquest.
Reduced from 5 wins to 2.
Conquest 3: Objective kills in a round of Conquest.
Reduced from 30 objective kills in a round to 10.
Gameplay & Mastery
General “Expert” and “Master” assignments that require multi-kills, headshots, kill streaks, or revives have been adjusted to better match the natural rhythm of gameplay. For example, multi-kill and streak goals now align with average round performance rather than rare, outlier achievements.
Explosives Expert 2: Get Multi Kills (2+ Kills Onwards) with explosives.
Reduced from 20 Multi Kills to 5.
Adaptable 2: Repair damaged Vehicles in a life.
Reduced from requiring 3000 damage to 500.
REROLL CHALLENGES SYSTEM
We have also made adjustments to the reroll challenges system.
When rerolling a challenge, it will prevent Battlefield 6 players from receiving a challenge that can only be completed in REDSEC. REDSEC players will continue to receive additional challenges that can be completed in REDSEC when rerolling. Which challenge you gain after rerolling will still be random.
Our intent is to have clear and achievable goals where reward meets challenge. These challenges and assignments are meant to be achievable without significant time commitment, while some will require a bit of mastery and reward you for that.
These changes are rooted in your feedback, so we hope that you’ll continue to share your constructive thoughts and concerns. You can report bugs on our EA Forums and join the community on the Battlefield Discord server.
See you on the Battlefield.
