Tides of War in Battlefield 5 has introduced weekly challenges, but this week features a particularly frustrating goal for medics. And the players are letting their frustration be known.
EA and DICE recently launched the first week of Tides of War for Battlefield 5. Tides of War mimics the weekly challenges and unlockables of Fortnite, offering an ongoing series of weekly seasonal events. The first week focuses on supplies and fortifications, and if you complete the challenges you can unlock the VGO medium machine gun for the support class.
The game is frustrating many players, myself included, with this week’s health crate challenge. And no one seems to know an effective way of getting it done.
“Deploy as a Medic and make sure you’ve equipped the Medical Crate gadget in the Company menu for this challenge,” the official tips page explains . “In Battlefield V, the Medical Crates let your buddies restock with Bandages (instead of creating a healing radius for those close to the crate).”
You have to heal your teammates for 400 points to complete the challenge. There’s no other way forward if you’re following the Medic’s path through the weekly challenge.
The problem comes from the fact that while the challenge description sounds like you’re doing something active, the only control the player has over the situation is choosing where to drop the Health Crate.
