Why is this nightwave challenge still in rotation? I thought DE was removing the terrible old challenges.

I don’t trust tethers to move enemies predictably

Tether will simply pull them to where you stick it. You can try it on low risk index if you don't believe me

This challenge is nothing but a massive waste of everyone's time and sanity. Even if you camp the goal the entire game the AI will still die or the enemy will pick up a token off the ground and if you take your eyes off the goal for 1 second someone will score a point. It would be bad enough if it only required you to maintain this stupidity for 1 round but it's required three rounds in a row!

Before someone says "Just cheese it with Limbo" the entire point of the Nightwave changes was that it was removing challenges that were unattainable to the average player or too time consuming. This challenge is both very time consuming to run 3 rounds with no mistakes and requires a hyper specific frame setup to utilize an obscure interaction between the scoring zone hitbox and the rift mechanic. That's not something an average player knows about and can be expected to accomplish.

In what world is "Kill 1 Silver Grove Specter" removed but this garbage is kept around? Please DE just delete this abomination from the face of the earth.

Making night wave a completely challenge less experience is the actual problem. It is not a necessity to do but it does provide a cool challenge to players looking for some extra fun from something they normally won't do much. On top of that, we're talking about a mission that awards very high credits so it's actually a really good double outcome challenge. I see no reason to remove this one.

I can understand the annoyance here. However, there is some important math to consider.

DE added permanent weekly acts. Every week, you get 3 challenges that total to 13,500 reputation. These challenges are:

1. Complete 15 missions
2. Kill 500 enemies
3. Kill 30 Eximus

If you were to only do these 3 challenges and skip every other weekly and daily, you would need 23 weeks to reach Rank 30 in Nightwave.

Nightwave: Nora's Mix Vol. 4 was active between May 24th, 2023 and November 22md, 2023. That is 26 weeks long. 

You can very likely get Rank 30 from just ignoring every challenge besides the new permanent weeklies that are very accessible and easy to do on accident while playing the game normally. I am not even going into a deep dive of all the other challenges that are quite easy to do while playing normally.

And yes, "just use Limbo" is actually a fine answer. There is nothing wrong with the game rewarding for bringing the right gear for the task at hand. None of Nightwave's challenges are really "fun". They are chores for a progress meter. DE has graciously made it so relaxed to get Rank 30 that you can ignore a substantial amount of challenges and still finish a season, you just have to be somewhat active.

Doing 15 missions is difficult
