I just never go prone while using a bolt action. I feel like it’s an ineffective way to fight. You’re much better off on your feet where you can quickly move back behind cover.
It’s not a difficult assignment. I just don’t want to do it. Who really wants to just lay on a hill all game trying to get all those prone kills? That’s not how I want to play the game.
I also hate the one on the AL8 that requires me to get a bunch of kills while crouched. At least you can sprint while crouched in this game though.
All of the assault assignments I’ve done so far are good. They’re things like killing enemies while attacking the objective, killing enemies in objective areas, killing enemies in general, and causing so much damage.
While a bunch of the recon ones are assignments that encourage sedentary, useless to the team, gameplay. The exact type of gameplay that I despise in the recon class.
This is just like that special assignment where you need to damage enemies for 1000 points while in a transport. This is not very well explained. Do I need to be in a transport or enemies? Probably both works because I’ve done that assignment with planes destroying light tanks and transport vehicles. Same happened just now when I sniped 2 enemies while I was standing and they were prone and it counted.
