How to Complete a Mission with Only a Pistol in Battlefield 6 (Challenge Expert 3)

by

A challenge in Battlefield 6’s campaign asks you to finish a mission using only a pistol, which is surprisingly difficult. The campaign is mostly about huge battles and intense shooting, so completing a mission with just a pistol feels like a real accomplishment.

Good news: some missions in *Battlefield 6* can be completed using only your pistol! Plus, you can tackle these challenges on any difficulty level, meaning you can lower the difficulty if you’re worried about taking too much damage. Here’s a guide to finishing a mission with just a pistol.

How to Complete a Mission With Only a Pistol in Battlefield 6

To unlock the “Challenge Expert 3” achievement in *Battlefield 6*, you need to finish any campaign mission using only a pistol. You can select any mission and even play on the easiest difficulty setting. “Night Raid” is a great option because it’s available early in the campaign, and completing it with just a pistol also earns you a trophy/achievement.

This mission focuses heavily on staying hidden, and you can actually complete the first part without shooting at all. When combat begins, you’ll face small groups of enemies, but you’ll have a whole squad fighting alongside you. The Pax Armata soldiers don’t wear much armor, making them easy to take down with your pistol.

The most challenging part of this mission is the final stand against a large group of Pax Armata soldiers and an attack helicopter. You’ll need to use a launcher to take down the helicopter, but destroying it won’t affect your score. The best strategy is to stay inside a building with your team and pick off enemies with your pistol as they approach. Don’t worry if you fall – your squad will be there to revive you.

If you’d prefer to skip the Night Raid mission, the Nile Guard mission is a good alternative later on. This mission focuses on using a tank, so you won’t need to worry about having strong offensive weapons. No matter which mission you pick, stick to using only your pistol for regular attacks. The special weapons – the launcher in Night Raid and the tank in Nile Guard – are exceptions to this rule.

Finishing Challenge Expert 3 will give you an XP Booster for use in *Battlefield 6* multiplayer. This booster is a Hardware XP Booster, so it will help your weapons and equipment level up faster, but won’t affect your overall player level.
