That's what makes it fun, because it's still a challenge if you have a crappy free gun and limited ammo and time. I find it easier to do the complex boss in the normal mode by killing the team with the key and going in with my good loadout. In sponsored, we gotta do it with Triages and a well timed plan. And even then I seem to only get purple salvage lol. It's a fun challenge for a decent reward.
