Summarize your bug The timed challenge, Noisy Brute, claimed that you had to defeat 5 enemies with any grenade. Yet, despite defeating at least a dozen or so with the flash bang grenade,l barrage (the heavy mini-grenade launcher, and wookie grenade I only received credit for 3 of 5 defeats. Unfortunately the timed challenge just expired, but I thought that I should mention it so that when it comes around again it will actually credit defeats with ANY grenades.::

So the one of the most recent timed challenges, 'Noisy Brute', stated that 5 enemy defeats with any grenade would complete the challenge. However I failed to receive proper credit for grenade defeats while using the officer class flash-bang grenade. I switched to the heavy class and despite having defeated an enemy trooper with both the barrage and impact grenade (not assists actually kills) I did not receive the credit. I then switched between different jobs and used the grenades they had to offer, and despite killing somewhere around a dozen or so enemy players, I only received credit for 3 of 5.  I did save a match in which I defeat two enemy players using the barrage, which should have completed the challenge for me except it didn't.

Since this is one of the regularly returning challenges, it really should be fixed. I think the only thing that counted for me was the regular grenade of the Assault trooper.

I'm not sure if the Barrage kill would count anyway, but there are a bunch of throwables (Heavy Trooper's impact, Officer's flash, Enforcer's imploder) that surely should.

Not sure I have seen that one.  The last 2 were kill 5 with Barrage.  Perhaps it was named different but barrage worked where others didn't. Is it possible that EA is giving us different daily challenges?

[felker_s]

'Noisy Brute' is a recurring challenge, with the description of killing 5 people with *any* type of grenade.

I only said that I don't know if Barrage counts as a type of grenade.

Not counting on PS4 either. Actually saw the count go backwards from 3 to 1 when the main menu screen refreshed. Great...thanks....

The Problem also lies at how EA/Dice define "grenade" and how to describe them so the challenges become less confusing. Wookie grenade is called Thermal Imploder, so I assume it doesn't work as "grenade" in that sense, but I tried Flash Grenade from Officers yet it won't work as well.

Thanks for posting about this!  

I have sent this on to the team to take a look at.
