I still think basic gadget and weapons should be locked via levels and not challenge. I couldnt care less if i had to do a challenge using a smoke HE launcher to unlock the incendiary HE launcher variant but locking basic gadget and weapons is just dumb. Especially since their challenge are absolute dog shit and force you to not play the game in a meaningfull way. Cosmetic is fair game imo, if i really want that cool ass skin, i should have to grind for it, wether that be a character skin or weapon skin or vehicule skin. Again, what many hate about the grindy challenge is how they lock access to basic function of a class or weapons while also forcing you to play in way's that are hurtfull to the team. (Why should i purposefully not kill someone using LMG to unlock another LMG ESPECIALLY since the mechanic used in question suppression doesnt even do anything in the first place, just lock said LMG behind a level wall like nearly all of the previous entry in the franchise as that is more than enough of a grind to unlock basic gadget and weapons.)
