Broken Challenges (Hotshots and Time Trials)

[Jtoomer]

Hotshots (General):-Combat Medics have a huge advantage in any based on survivability (Maybe disable abilities)
-Lag spikes can make any involving precision shooting significantly harder.



Specific Issues:
-The "SMASH" hotshot in San Francisco is almost entirely luck-based due to inconsistency. Most kills with the advanced weapon don't register which means keeping up your combo is total luck. Currently all the high scores only barely break the threshold for Bronze which is a bad sign in it's own right.


Time Trials (General):
-The game frequently doesn't load rings fast enough. This can make it so you can only see one ring ahead or in a few circumstances the rings stop loading entirely.


This next point is best made with an example. The "Madera Heat" Time Trial is a trainwreck right now. Vehicle durability at the moment means that you can survive hitting 2-3 enemies at most.



The entire road is covered in Skitterlings and Raiders. Also the chickens at the farm that you can't see (it takes hitting 2-3 of them to destroy your vehicle). I don't know how else to say it but getting even bronze is practically luck. My current record is a full minute short of bronze with 4 vehicle destructions (I walked a large chunk of it)


The race is over 5 minutes even with a gold time and any vehicle destruction is likely to kill the run.

On Xbox I am having issues with Hotshot: Sharpshooting Savior. It feels like not enough enemies spawn, and the lag makes it hard to hit the ones that do. That one and Smash are the only two I can't at least get silver on.

These are happening as a result of lowering the performance of the vehicle
