Riven Melee Challenge

[Haloformer]

I started a Riven mod for melee weapons and it's to kill enemies on dropships with said melee weapons. I have no idea how this would be achieved.

Does the Riven explicitly say you MUST USE a Melee weapon to kill enemies on a dropship?  I am pretty sure it doesn't matter what weapon you use to kill the enemies on the dropship, as it's always been like that unless the update changed the rules of Riven challenges.  All that you would need is to make sure you have the Riven on the Melee Weapon but it's never been required to use any specific weapon for challenges with maybe the exception being Archgun Rivens or Companion Weapons possibly.   I think you should attempt the challenge with your Primary or Secondary and see if you get credit for the kills.  If not, then they did change the challenges and I guess you would need to use a Gun-blade or a Glaive to hit the enemies on the dropship.  Of course you could also use a Automatic Riven Challenge Completion thingy that you can buy from Teshin with Steel Essence I think for 20 SE and not have to worry about the challenge at all!  Best of luck to you and hope you get something good if you are able to complete the challenge!

Have a pleasant tomorrow!

Fortuna's Orb Valllis (all ships are crew), other option are corpus missions in open tiles (eg. Europa), there is a guaranted ship every 5 Defence waves (it cant be killed so you can go nuts).

Any weapon with big AoE, but not too high single target damage (you do not want to destroy the ship completely). Chained beam works too, just have to aim and unsure what additional challenges there are. Abilities work too.
