Difficult, I thought, but if I’m sneaky I can do it. Breakthrough, Rotterdam, Attack, first flag. Fire one flare… Challenge completed. In fact, I think from the points I got, I spotted the entire enemy team lol. I can’t stop laughing at how easy that was. Makes a change from last week… ---

Conquest on Devastation, run to the side of the Cathedral and shoot it over the top on the side the enemy is coming in from. I spotted more than 10 with that one flare, as soon as I shot it up the assignment was just done. ---

This is how i leveled my recon up, you can get a ridiculous amount of points using the flare. ---

Yup, any kind of maps where teams have to take a single point, or cluster around it to defend, you can grind recon ranks stupid easy off of the flare. I was pulling 10-15k a match off of just standing beside a ammo resupply box on the bridge twisted steel on GO, firing flare after flare over the enemy. Just waited for the one to time out, and up went the next. Church on Devestation is really good too, especially the first point. If you get into a grind match, just launch flares into the open area in the middle. ---

Literally just go to a map that’s not Hamada. Stand on one objective firing flares from near a resupply station towards another objective. You can easily get it. Or find an objective/area with lots of enemies and shoot one. ---

I actually did it on hamada defending a the first match of the day. ---

Did this in one go. Its super easy. ---

Always go to ammo crate first thing upon spawning, you get 2. Pop your first one up in the air right before grabbing more, when you get those 2 at the crate shoot those up in opposite directions, and by the time you launch those 2, the ammo crate timer is almost full enough to grab 2 more. I suck as Recon because I’m an objective player, I hate sniping from far away, and Recon gets destroyed up close. I can get high on the scoreboard though when I play Recon because of all the spots and assist bonuses I get while going like 4 - 15. ---

Very easy, you just need to camp next to an ammo station and spam flares. ---

I shot one flare at Panzerstorm GO, first objective as an attacker. Mission accomplished. ---

or do it in the 4 player coop missions - go in a solo - run round a farm building, shot a few times, attract attention - get in a farm building in Arras - and flare off, 10 spotted in one go. ---

Makes a change from last week… last weeks challange was easy as well i really cant understand what people found so difficult about in fact every single challenge in this game so far has been Child`s play i suppose that is to cater to all the cry baby Noobs as usual.They want everything spoon fed to them and want that spoon Nerfed too probably too OP for them. ---

> [@Woodlbrad](#): > > I actually did it on hamada defending a the first match of the day. Same. I was expecting it to need me to stay pretty hidden, but I just popped a flare over where I assumed they’d be coming in Breakthrough and got the challenge complete symbol on my screen. ---

It’s flares not flare gun. You can do it with any plane that has flares equipped, pretty easy on maps like Fjell or Arras 😉 ---

I’m mainly talking about the final task you couldn’t avoid. “Kill 20 enemies while attacking an objective in a mobile ground vehicle”. Not impossible, as I did it, but really, really, REALLY tedious. I just don’t like how hard and tedious seem to be considered the same thing, when they simply aren’t. Dark Souls knew that. ---

I just realized something. If you dont shoot the flare gun high enough, then the area of effect is very very small. you have to shoot it high in the air for it to cover a wide area. That’s why I was struggling. I hope it can help other people. ---

When I was able to complete this assignment, I finished this with my first flare. Airborne in Panzerstorm, objective A, 17 players spotted LOL. ---

Hahahaha. I just unlocked the flare gun. This is points for cheese. I need a decent CQB gun for Recon so I can flare while PTFO. I am too inaccurate to use a SLR. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/spot-10-players-with-the-flare-gun-in-one-life/106637.md?page=2)
