Why is this challenge so hard to get. I triggered Balanced Landing thrice in one match and got absolutely no progress on this challenge... every Rift we get this "wonderful" challenge and everytime it's such a chore to get it,

    It's such a bizarre challenge. It'd be much simpler if it activated on every drop large enough to stagger your character, and not just ones above some arbitrary height.

    I think the trigger for the challenge is the stagger. It doesn't work with BL.

    Go bhvr.

    Bad challenge design.

    Haddonfield-Buildings are enough for this Challenge. Just saying, not giving you any ideas, but those work.

    If you haven't already do a different challenge then go back - challenges this rift have been pretty buggy not going through until you change them then go back.

    Chase challenges are always a pain to me. Just the timing of the game deciding the chase has started/ended. So many times I've missed out on things in a chase because I did whatever before the game acknowledged I was in a chase or the chase ended just as I did whatever.

    I didnt have too much trouble with that one, i probably got lucky.

    Not, hit 2 people with 1 vile purge, twice in a match.....that is giving me issues

    Can attest to this, I did it on Haddonfield. Just dropped and ran back inside and dropped as needed till I got it. Guaranteed I was downed but knocked it out first try.

    My standby is to play an offering for the Saloon and then tend to the gens on elevated platforms. Jumping off either the saloon or the scaffold with Balanced has done it for me every time.

    I've heard other people say that dropping between floors on The Game can do it, too.

    But, I agree, this is one of those challenges where it's not clear what the conditions actually are, and that's annoying.

    I think part of the issues is on maps like Hawkins there's a good chance that you'd get out of the chase before you hit the bottom(When it counts I am guessing) meaning you won't qualify for the challenge.

    So I believe the chase requirement is probably the issue as a lot of the good long falls breaks chases.

    It did for me. I never do these dumb "Fall from great height" challenges without using Balanced Landing cause I hate the stagger.
