The “Deal damage to Laser Designated enemy vehicles using lock-on weapons,” is a specific in-game challenge or assignment in the video game Battlefield 6 (BF6), which released on October 10, 2025.
✅ 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.
🎮 How to do it – Tips
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.
⚠️ Known issues & caveats
-
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.
