Marine Challenge of the Day

[sw4gbag]

Post your challenges here for other marines to try during a round, ranging from easy to hard.
Perhaps these challenges could make you a bit better at playing as a marine
some simple challenges
1. Play PFC without a first-aid kit.
2. Use a shotgun with only a bayonet and or rail light, no grips or other attachments.

[KaiserBlackwood]

1. Grab engineer.
2. Get only mines.
3. Build FOB from scavenging shit around.
4. Win the game, by holding this rag-tag FOB for 10 mins.
Difficulty: hard.

[Saytkl77]

Logistics Division Challenges:

1. Deploy 3 IMP backpacks worth of Flare boxes near the FOB, the front, or the path between the two, without overlapping light radius.
2. Obtain a machete and destroy 500 pieces of weed or sticky resin in a single round.
3. Scavenge 10 weapons with valuable attachments left on the ground throughout the colony and place them in the FOB.
4. Evac 15 marines by roller bed from the front to the dropship.

Playing as part of the logistics division its possible you might not even fire a single bullet on the planet, despite that you are providing substantial benefits to the team.
