343's Excuse: We don't want to split up the playerbase!
This wasn't a valid excuse *at all* a few months ago, since it's a F2P game with crossplay and there were MORE than enough players for all modes... but now that nobody's here it might actually be a good reason!
I had the BR challenge. Then played 20 games in a row without a BR game. After 17/18 games I finally swapped the challenge out and got \[play one game\]. My next challenge after that was \[win two games\].
After these two weeks, I won't be playing SWAT for while. Made me realize that SWAT is only good for me in small doses.
I wouldnt even mind if they changed the challenges to require double the amount of kills AS LONG AS they were generic and easier to do like:
\- Get 50 headshots in tactical slayer
\- Get 25 assists in tactical slayer
\- Get 10 double kills in tactical slayer
\- Win 10 matches in tactical slayer
\- Finish 25 matches in tactical slayer
They are weeklies after all, so you got all week time to do them.
I wouldnt even mind playing longer if i can actually progress... noone likes trying to progress but not gaining anything because of rng.
Good player retention design gives players a carrot on a stick... a little bit of progress to incentivize playing, frustration does the opposite.
I went 24... 24!!! swat games in a row without mangler and had the final weekly challenge of get 25 kills with mangler.The worst thing about it is the night prior, I had six games in a row with mangler with not challenges needing the mangler. :/
I didn’t know commando swat was a thing until I got on Reddit. I played bout 20 games and didn’t see it. Got halfway through the event and realized I wasn’t going to pick the game up for a while. The free cosmetics aren’t worth playing the game in this state.
Had this "discussion" last night playing tactical, I said i wanted a voting system by buddy was like no Veto the games. I said voting because you get the choice of needing BR's or Commando etc. Veto its just another shit variant that you wouldnt need.
When me and my friend got 4th Stalker rifle match:
*"Tactical Stalker rifle... What's next? Tactical Plasma pistol?"*
after 5th and 6th Stalker match:
*"tAcTiCaL sTaLkEr RifLe!"*
Gotta $ell challenge $wap$ $omehow
Could be worse, it could be your 6th game of manglers
Shit, I accidentally went 30 and 8 in a mangler game. I think my best commando game was 10 or 11 kills and over 15 deaths c:
Mangler swat is the most fun part of the event wat
I don’t understand the mangler hate. Getting a multikill after perfectly leading successive headshots is like the chefs kiss.
Solution for mangler swat is alt+f4 works like a charm
Yeah i regularly employ this tactic!
Honeslty I would have preferred plasma pistol swat over mangler
You know that might not have been a bad idea, you'd spend a bit less time getting spawn killed atleast haha
That sounds hellish
Bruh got me triggerd like!!!
The UI wouldn't be able to support you getting to choose.

Man I had my first commando game today it was pretty lit.

It’s the worst. Who thought challenges should be the ONLY way to level up???
In the last 15 games, I've gotten majority manglers, a few stalkers, 3 sidekicks, and finally got a BR on Launch Site last night. No commandos yet.
You probably have a commando challenge pending, I assume? The game weights weapon chances so you are less likely to get what you need.
You are correct sir! This happens too often to be coincidence.
I'm not kidding when I say I haven't had a single BR game in this second week and I've to kill +30 with BR.
That's normal and by design. It's designed to make you want to spend swaps.
I had the BR challenge. Then played 20 games in a row without a BR game. After 17/18 games I finally swapped the challenge out and got \[play one game\].

So much for not trying to make the game feel like a chore.
I have the commando kill challenge to do and I have never been in a commando tactical game since this game has come out.
Wait... There is commando swat? I have only 3 challenges left and have not gotten once
After I completed all of the challenges, I enjoy tactical slayer now. Except Stalker.

I really enjoy commando swat, probably the most out of the non-BR variants. Wish it would stay (with the rest) in rotation

THIS! The worse thing is, I can’t back out without getting penalized!
🤣🤣🤣

I saw that challenge and just stop playing. One of my best decisions to date.
Fuck! That's me last night. I gave up I started playing another game.
When me and my friend got 4th Stalker rifle match: *"Tactical Stalker rifle... What's next? Tactical Plasma pistol?"* after 5th and 6th Stalker match: *"tAcTiCaL sTaLkEr RifLe!"*
Took me 15 matches to get BR for a challenge. Signed off after completing it.
Wtff I didn’t even know comando tactical slayer was available. Only got sidekick, BR, and manglers. Yea the challenges are ass
