[Clarification Sought] Base Assault with only X Assignment

I got the “Complete Base Assault using only SMGs” assignment and attempted to complete it by clearing a path with the EXP Algstudsare and destroying the remaining enemies, shield generators, and core with the Vosa.

Either:

  1. The assignment does not track correctly at all.
  2. The assignment expects us to use a ridiculous amount of ammo to break down walls and spawners.
  3. The Vosa does not count as an SMG; the Mosin has a similar issue where it does not count as a hunting rifle for assignments.

The Moisin is not a hunting rifle it’s a military rifle.

I think you need to use the smg for the entire Assault. By clearing enemies with a different weapon you didn’t use an smg for the entire base assault. I’m certain that’s the problem. And don’t use exp ammo either I think that can be counted as not an smg.

Personally I don’t use exp ammo but I tried shock ammo for hunting rifle just to se how they work when I killed a tank for my daily. It didn’t register it as a success but I logged out and in again and killed the same tank again with regular ammo. Then it registered successful daily. Kill a tank with hunting rifle.

If I’m expected to use waste loads of ammo breaking down walls with a suboptimal weapon or tiptoe my way through walls with explosives knowing that accidentally killing a runner or seeker will ruin the entire effort while simultaneously taking down a FNIX base, which is endgame content; I expect it to be at least a hard mission. This is considered EASY, and I would only get 1 point for it.

In comparison, the medium mission was to destroy 15 cars, and the hard mission was to kill a tank with an assault rifle.

I did just complete this yesterdays assigment (15.12.) today morning before new assigments come.
This was little bit pain in the butt do, i only play guerilla mode and first try to cheese it with RPG, level whole base first. Then just SMG the important bits. Did not work. (there was soviet firebirds giving interference over the fight, might be that too)

I had to make FNIX spawn base. Choose south coast region for this. Instant the base spawned, bolted out of combat and avoid all and any encounters until arrived to FNIX base. Then only SMG everything inside track mission are, assigment completed.
Did not use any special ammo, AP and FMJ. No weapon DLC’s. Just HP5 and Exp.Kpist.

This is ridicilously hard to complete with tier 2 or 3 base level with guerilla difficulty. As being medium mission. Classification of difficulty for this assigment should be definetelly rechecked.

And NO! reducing difficulty level is not option for me. :sunglasses:

Adding to that todays assignment to do a base assault only with melee weapons… :roll_eyes:

Herre gud… :man_facepalming:

:flushed:
Are they crazy?

Well, try using 200 of each experimental med kits (Tenebris tested it once: they sum up), then go in and slash everything down.
If available, try using the experimental sledgehammer.

@tene That’s crying for a documented experiment. :wink:

I had the same assignment. I didn’t even bother to try. And definitely not todays melee. I don’t even have a melee. Why would I when I have something to use at a distance.
