Tips for Completing HCR 56 Camo Challenges

Challenges 1 & 2 (50 Kills / 50 ADS Kills): For these initial challenges, an ADS build is recommended. Attachments that improve recoil control, ADS speed, and movement speed will help. Recommended attachments include the 24.4 Bruen S-620 Barrel, Sakin Tread-50 muzzle, Merc Foregrip or Phase 3 Grip underbarrel, FTAC C11 Riser Comb, and Bruen 0900 Rear Grip.

Challenge 3 (10 Double Kills): Play objective-based modes like Headquarters, Domination, or Hardpoint. Position yourself near key map rotation points or objectives to catch enemies moving between areas. Spawn trapping can also provide opportunities for double kills.

Challenge 4 (20 Mounted Kills): Similar to the double kill challenge, find contested areas and mount your weapon. Key locations include the left tunnel at the Gallows site on Al Bagra, outside of Embassy, and various outdoor props on Headquarters maps. Be mindful of bullet velocity for longer-range mounted shots.

Gold Challenge (10x 3 Kills Without Dying): Play as you normally would, focusing on good ADS spots and funneling enemies. Alternatively, utilize your preferred mounted spots. Invasion mode against bots or objective modes like Headquarters and Hardpoint can also be effective.

Platinum Challenge (25 Longshots): Modify your loadout to improve damage range and bullet velocity. Consider a silencer muzzle attachment and a barrel that boosts bullet velocity. Adjust your rear grip for recoil control. Mount your LMG overlooking long-range angles on maps like Invasion (street angles from buildings), El Asilo (swing overlooking storage yard), Embassy (outside territory), Taraq (elevated positions), and Hydrophonics (near the building overlooking mid/right side).

Polyatomic Challenge (25 Headshots): Revert to the original ADS setup and focus on close-to-medium range engagements. Pre-aiming common angles is crucial. Effective spots include Las Almas and Al Bagra's large door areas, entrances to main buildings on Farm 18, Embassy's second-floor windows, Hydrophonics sniping spots, and market areas on Las Almas.
