The VCR-2 is one of the fastest killing weapons in the Battlefield 6. This rifle was first introduced in Season 2, where it was locked behind combat passes. Now players can unlock this by completing a Season 2 Catch-Up Hardware challenge involving the use of shoulder-mounted missile launchers. The challenge to unlock VCR-2 BF6 is quite simple, but while not exactly difficult, it will require a lot of patience.
How to complete Bullet Storm challenges in Battlefield 6
Light machine guns are incredibly strong in Battlefield 6, and you can complete Bullet Storm challenges to unlock the best ones early on.
How to unlock VCR-2 in BF6
To obtain this weapon, you must complete the following objectives after obtaining the 9K38 Igla Launcher BF6:
- Deal 3000 damage to vehicles with axis-launched missiles
- Destroy or help destroy 5 aircraft with 9K38 Igla
The first goal is easy enough: just pick your favorite rocket launcher for the engineer class and then hunt down all the enemy ground vehicles you can find. You will complete this challenge just by playing the game normally as an engineer, but the second part of the challenge is where it gets tricky.
Takes down enemy aircraft in BF6 is much more difficult than it sounds, especially since pilots can avoid being hit by lockable launchers like the 9K38 Igla by turning up beacons or by going below or beyond radar range. However, leech can solve this problem due to its ability to recover targets.
How to use Igla
If you didn't know, you can lock onto aircraft with Igla again even after its first missile misses its original targetassuming the missile itself is still in the air, of course. You'll notice that when you fire a missile with this weapon, sometimes you won't be able to reload immediately – meaning your original missile is still somewhere on the battlefield.
If so, aim down the Iglan's sights again, and try to lock onto an enemy jet or helicopter. You should be able to lock onto it, and if you can stay on target for a while, your original missile will eventually hit its mark.
When I attempted this challenge, I exclusively played Conquest on Railway to Golmud. This map has a lot of air vehicles available to both teams, so you have more chances to shoot something. I sat next to my team's AA tank and waited for it to fire its missiles at someone. When the enemy pilot used his flares, I immediately followed up with an Igla missile. This often results in a hit, and if the enemy aircraft's health is low enough, it usually results in a death for the sake of the challenge.
The best targets to shoot at are enemy jets and helicopters that actively engage your team's pilots.
It took me three whole matches just to shoot rockets at the enemy pilots unlock VCR-2 in BF6. Progress tracking for the challenge stopped while I was trying to do it; assists did not count towards the challenge, nor did destroying aircraft that pilots had rescued. This should hopefully be fixed by now, but if not, prepare for an annoying time.
If you run out of Igla missiles, just reposition and find another place to fire from. You'll basically deplete your team's tickets by doing this, but at least you'll keep the skies clear by zoning out enemy pilots, if not outright taking them out.
