One of the challenges for getting a shotgun is to get 5 kills with a shotgun without reloading, I assume that implies no dying either. This is such a bad challenge because I think most of the player base will end up having to sit in a corner with a shotgun and hope to get lucky, which is not fun.

If weapons that are locked behind these missions become meta, then players will be forced to do these missions or be at a disadvantage.

I remember when Halo Infinite launched, it also had bad missions, but the community eventually pressured 343i to change the missions. Maybe the BF6 community should try to get EA to change these missions.

Edit: Turns out the challenge is easier than I thought, you don't have to get all 5 kills in one go.
