As I say in almost all my posts on challenges: play Operations 32v32. Preferably on defense. Players bunch up on those flags like mad. Edit; some maps/sectors are better than others. Trench maps are good. ---

> [@JesseA421](#): > > just grind out several rounds of supply drop. in order to burn the crate they have to literally be touching it. Yes this. I got all mine in a coupld rounds of supply drop. Scouts are usually putting flares on the drops, which helps a ton. ---

Just to second all the suggests for Supply Drop. Players have to be within 7m of the supplies, so use on mortar to highlight targets then drop the rest in quick succession. You should get one or two kills this way. ---

If it helps I did the majority of mine killing people on stationary guns on Ops. The usually get spotted and quite often won’t leave their gun. ---

Take your time aiming, reticle will get smaller making your shot much more accurate. You can also fire couple rounds in quick succession if you see you’re zero’d in on a good target even while in that overhead view mode. ---

Like using this now..its fun being an annoyance to the other team.. especially good against tanks and snipers and playing supply drop! ---

Lots of these unlocks are a chore. DICE/EA seems to get their jollies telling us the game is about teamwork, then forcing us to ignore the team and use obnoxious weapons to unlock stuff we’ve already paid for. I know, I get it: “buuuuut i like having things to do!” Sure. You’re special. The rest of us find this hum drum ridiculous. ---

Then I guess the challenge would be to figure out how to use them in games to the benefit of the team? Such as the mortaring of rushing enemies to repel their advancement. There’s a time and place for things such as this whether people want to believe it or not… ---

You can also fire couple rounds in quick succession if you see you’re zero’d in on a good target even while in that overhead view mode. This - if you get a hit marker you can spam the fire button and fire off multiple rounds before the target can move out of the way
