BF6 Deal Damage To Laser Designated Area | The Challenge Requirement

✅ What the requirement is

The challenge is part of the Engineer Class 3 assignment.
The exact wording is: “Deal 1,000 damage to laser‑designated enemy vehicles using lock‑on weapons.”
“Laser‑designated” means a target vehicle must first be painted / marked with a laser designator (by a teammate using a specific gadget) before you lock on and deal damage.
“Lock‑on weapons” means you need to use a weapon that can lock‐onto a marked vehicle (missile launcher, guided weapon, etc.). Using unguided explosives or regular fire likely won’t count.

Based on player experience, here’s the recommended method:

Get a teammate to laser‑designate a vehicle (ideally a ground vehicle, e.g., tank or IFV). Some players say it works better on ground vehicles than flying vehicles.
- The teammate using recon or appropriate gadget must paint the vehicle in hand, not just a ground‑placed device. > “Use the laser designator, but do not place it on the ground, use it in your hands and it will work.”
- They should hit the vehicle with the laser/designator once, and let the mark stay active. Don’t keep re‑marking too quickly.
You (Engineer) use a lock‑on weapon.
- Make sure you’re locking after the vehicle has been designated. If you fire too soon or the mark has expired, the damage may not count.
- Use something like a missile launcher or guided weapon that can lock to the painted target.
Deal damage. The goal is to accumulate 1,000 damage to such marked vehicles. Once you reach that threshold, the challenge should complete.
Prefer ground vehicles and coordinate with a friend if possible. Many random matches don’t have players using the laser designator, meaning you may struggle.

Many players report this challenge is bugged / not tracking properly. > “I have hit and shot down multiple painted aircraft … but the counter is still on 0/1000.”
Some say that targeting flying vehicles (helicopters / jets) doesn’t always count. Ground vehicles may have better success.
It’s kind of dependent on another player doing their part (the designation), which adds coordination overhead.
Make sure you are using lock‑on weapons and the target was designated. Otherwise, hits won’t count.
