Challenge # 5 – Use a Volcano Vent in different matches

There are many Volcano Vents in the game now, especially near the volcano itself. All you have to use at least one of these vents in 5 different matches. This is an easy challenge, and shouldn’t take you long to complete.

Challenge # 6 – Get an elimination with a Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Explosive Weapon

This is a pretty straightforward challenge requiring you to kill enemies with any assault rifle, shotgun and explosive weapon. Since Shotguns and Assault Rifles are a must pick up in the game, this shouldn’t be so hard to complete.

On the other hand its best to have a rocket launcher on your hands to get an elimination with explosive weapon. Throwables are highly inaccurate in the game, so your best chance is with a weapon with projectiles that detonate on impact.
