The Engineer class in Battlefield 6 is all about vehicular warfare—blowing up enemy armor, keeping friendly tanks alive, and generally making life hell for anyone who dares roll onto the battlefield in a vehicle. But beyond just being fun to play, the Engineer class has some seriously worthwhile challenges that unlock unique rewards you can’t get anywhere else.
I’ve grinded through every single Engineer challenge, and I’ll be honest: some are easy, some are tedious, and a couple will have you pulling your hair out waiting for the right opportunities. But the rewards—especially those exclusive character skins and the M136 AT Launcher—make it all worthwhile.
This guide breaks down every Engineer challenge, gives you practical strategies to complete them efficiently, and helps you avoid the frustrating mistakes I made along the way. Whether you’re just hitting Rank 20 or you’re already deep into the grind, let’s get you those rewards.
Before diving into specific challenges, let’s talk about how the system works because it’s a bit different from other progression systems in Battlefield 6.
Key Points to Know:
The Engineer challenges are designed to teach you the class’s role while rewarding mastery. They force you to engage with every aspect of Engineer gameplay—repairing, destroying vehicles, and using specialized equipment.
If you’re not Rank 20 yet, check our XP farming guide to get there faster. Using XP boosters during double XP events can cut your grind time significantly.
Let’s start with what you need before you can even begin these challenges.
You absolutely must be Rank 20 in multiplayer before class challenges become available. There’s no way around this—it’s a hard gate. The good news? If you’ve been playing regularly and mixing up your classes, you’ve probably already hit this naturally.
Fastest Ways to Reach Rank 20:
Once you hit Rank 20, all class challenges (not just Engineer) become available in the progression menu. You’ll see them under the “Challenges” tab for each specific class.
If you’re new to Engineer or coming from other classes, here’s a quick refresher on what makes this class unique:

The first Engineer challenge introduces you to the basic responsibilities of the class. It’s pretty straightforward, but let me break it down anyway.
Engineer 1 Objectives:
Rewards:
This is the easiest requirement in the entire challenge set. Here’s how to complete it efficiently:
Best Approach:
Where to Farm Repairs:
Pro Tip: You don’t need to repair from 0% to 100%. Any amount of repairing counts toward your progress. Even small touch-ups contribute. I’ve found the best strategy is finding a friendly tank that’s actively pushing objectives—they take consistent damage but rarely die, giving you continuous repair opportunities.
The 2,000 damage requirement sounds like a lot, but it goes surprisingly fast. One good Conquest match where you’re actively supporting armor can net you 400-600 repair damage easily.
This requirement is even easier and will likely complete itself while you’re doing other challenges.
Fastest Score Sources:
Optimal Game Modes for Score:
The 10,000 score requirement is basically asking you to play 2-3 matches while focusing on objectives. If you’re actively completing the repair requirement, you’ll hit this score naturally. Don’t stress about it—it’s really just asking you to engage with the game normally.
Loadout Recommendation:
Time Estimate: 3-5 matches of active play
This first challenge should take you just a few hours at most. It’s designed as an introduction, so don’t overthink it. Play the objective, help your team’s vehicles, and you’ll have it done before you know it.
Now things get more interesting. Engineer Challenge 2 is where you really start living the anti-vehicle fantasy.
Engineer 2 Objectives:
Rewards:
This is where you become a tank’s worst nightmare. 5,000 damage sounds intimidating, but it’s actually pretty achievable with the right approach.
Best Launchers for This Challenge:
Damage Values (Approximate):
Optimal Tactics:
Target Priority:
Positioning Matters:
Always try to hit vehicles from the sides or rear. Frontal armor significantly reduces your damage. A rear shot can deal nearly double the damage of a frontal hit. Position yourself on flanks and wait for vehicles to pass—ambush tactics work incredibly well.
Best Maps for Launcher Damage:
Check which maps are vehicle-heavy in our complete maps guide.
Pro Tips:
One critical thing I learned: you get damage credit even if you don’t get the kill. If you hit a tank for 40 damage and someone else finishes it, you still get credit for your 40 damage. This means focusing on consistent hits matters more than securing kills.
Mines are a different beast entirely. They’re passive, sneaky, and absolutely infuriating for enemy drivers—which is exactly why they’re so satisfying.
Mine Placement Strategy:
High-Traffic Routes:
Placement Tips:
Best Locations:
Why Mines Are Tricky:
The 2,000 damage requirement is actually more difficult than the launcher requirement because mines are unreliable. You need enemy vehicles to actually drive over them, which means:
Time-Saving Approach:
Don’t overthink this. Place mines on high-traffic routes at the start of every match and check back periodically. You’ll eventually get the damage, but it requires patience. This is one challenge that you’ll complete passively over multiple matches rather than in a single focused session.
I averaged about 200-400 mine damage per match when I was actively placing them in smart locations. The full 2,000 damage took me about 6-8 matches, but that was while also working on other challenges.

Recommended Loadout:
Time Estimate: 8-12 matches depending on vehicle availability
Critical Advice: Focus on one requirement at a time. Spend a few matches dedicated to launcher damage, then switch focus to mines. Trying to do both simultaneously dilutes your effectiveness at either.

This is where the Engineer challenges get genuinely tricky. Challenge 3 introduces specific requirements that depend on teamwork and situational opportunities.
Engineer 3 Objectives:
Rewards:
Aircraft damage is straightforward conceptually but execution requires practice and patience.
Best AA Launchers:
Aircraft Damage Values:
Tactics for Hitting Aircraft:
Timing Is Everything:
Flare Counterplay:
All aircraft have flares that break your lock. Here’s how to deal with them:
Best Situations:
Map Selection:
Not all maps have equal aircraft presence. Play on maps with consistent air vehicles. Generally, larger Conquest maps have more aircraft spawns.
Why This Is Challenging:
Aircraft are fast, pilots use flares, and good pilots avoid hovering. You’ll miss shots, waste ammo, and feel frustrated. That’s normal. The key is persistence and learning aircraft patterns.
I found the best approach was playing defensively near objectives. Aircraft often strafe objectives, giving you predictable approach angles. Set up near high-traffic objectives and wait for opportunities rather than chasing aircraft around the map.
Time Estimate for Aircraft Damage: This varies wildly based on enemy aircraft activity. Could be 5 matches if aircraft are abundant, or 15+ if pilots are scarce or exceptionally good.
This is hands-down the most frustrating requirement in all Engineer challenges because it requires teamwork with a Recon player who knows how to use the Laser Designator.
What Is Laser Designation?
Recon class has a gadget called the Laser Designator that “paints” enemy vehicles, allowing lock-on weapons to track them. When a vehicle is laser designated, your launcher gets enhanced lock-on capabilities and deals bonus damage.
The Problem:
Most Recon players don’t use the Laser Designator. They’re focused on sniping, not supporting Engineers. This means you’ll need to either:
How to Complete This:
Option 1: Squad Coordination (Best Method)
Find a friend or squadmate willing to play Recon with Laser Designator. Have them mark enemy vehicles while you hit them with lock-on weapons. This is by far the fastest method.
Option 2: Opportunistic Play (Realistic Method)
Play Engineer with lock-on weapons equipped and hope random Recon players mark targets. When you see the “Laser Designated” indicator on a vehicle, immediately engage it.
Option 3: Self-Designation (If Possible)
Some players switch to Recon, designate a vehicle, then switch back to Engineer and engage it. This requires specific game modes and timing but can work.
Identifying Laser Designated Targets:
Designated vehicles have a distinct red diamond marker and emit a sound cue. Your HUD will show “Laser Designated Target” when you aim at them. You cannot miss the indication—it’s very obvious.
Lock-On Weapons That Work:
Damage Values:
Hitting a laser designated vehicle deals normal damage PLUS you get credit toward this challenge. The actual damage doesn’t change—what changes is that it counts toward your objective.
Why This Is The Worst Requirement:
It entirely depends on factors outside your control. You can be the best Engineer player in the world, but if no Recon players use Laser Designator, you simply cannot progress this challenge. It’s poor game design honestly, but it is what it is.
My Experience:
This took me about 10 matches to complete, and most of that was just waiting for opportunities. I got lucky with one match where a Recon player was actively designating targets, which gave me about 600 damage in a single game. The rest came from random, occasional designations over multiple matches.
Pro Tip: If you’re in a squad with voice chat, politely ask if anyone can swap to Recon and help. Many players are willing to help with challenges if asked nicely. Community coordination beats random luck.
Recommended Loadout:
Time Estimate: 10-20 matches (heavily dependent on aircraft presence and Recon cooperation)
Critical Mindset: This challenge requires patience more than skill. You’re waiting for opportunities rather than creating them. Accept that some matches will give you zero progress and that’s okay.

Once you’ve completed all three basic Engineer challenges, the Specialist challenges unlock. Interestingly, these are actually easier than the prerequisites.
Engineer Specialist 1 Objectives:
Rewards:
This is almost comically easy compared to what you just went through. You literally just need to place the crate five times. You don’t even need vehicles to use it.
How to Complete:
That’s it. No requirements for vehicles actually using it, no damage thresholds, no nothing. Just place it five times. This can be done in a single match if you wanted to spam it.
Why Include This Strategy Section?
Honestly, there’s not much to say. Deploy it near friendly vehicles if you want to be helpful, or just drop it for credit. This requirement exists purely as a checkbox.
Just play the game normally across a few matches while focusing on Engineer gameplay.
Fast Score Methods:
Time Estimate: 5-8 matches of normal gameplay
The 40,000 score sounds like a lot, but it’s really just asking you to play Engineer for a few hours. If you’re actively destroying vehicles and playing objectives, you’ll average 5,000-8,000 score per match, meaning this takes less than 10 matches.
This is a freebie challenge compared to what you just completed. The M136 AT Launcher reward is excellent—it’s one of the better anti-vehicle weapons in the game. Definitely worth having in your arsenal.

Back to aircraft hunting, but this time with a twist.
Engineer Specialist 2 Objectives:
Rewards:
This challenge is significantly easier than Challenge 3’s aircraft requirement because assists count.
Why This Is Easier:
You don’t need to destroy the aircraft—just contribute damage. If you hit a helicopter for 45 damage and someone else finishes it, that counts as an assist toward this challenge.
Optimal Approach:
Best Loadout:
Time Estimate: 8-15 matches depending on aircraft activity
This is much less frustrating than the Challenge 3 aircraft requirement because the goal is lower and assists count. You’re basically just doing what you learned earlier, but for longer.
The final Engineer challenge tests your support skills.
Engineer Specialist 3 Objectives:
Rewards:
This is the only challenge that requires significant accomplishment in a SINGLE match rather than cumulative progress. That makes it both easier (only needs one good match) and harder (must focus entirely on it).
How to Achieve This:
Method 1: Find a Tank Buddy
The absolute best way is coordinating with a tank player. Have them push aggressively while you repair them constantly. A good tank player taking consistent damage while staying alive can easily give you 6,000+ repair credit in one match.
Method 2: Breakthrough Defense
Play Breakthrough on the defending side. Your team’s vehicles will take heavy, consistent damage while holding positions. Follow armor and repair non-stop.
Method 3: Conquest Vehicle Clusters
Some Conquest maps have central objectives with multiple friendly vehicles. Station yourself there and bounce between vehicles, repairing whoever needs it.
Critical Requirements:
Why This Can Be Tricky:
If your team’s vehicles keep dying quickly, you can’t get enough repair credit. If your team dominates and vehicles take minimal damage, you can’t get enough credit. You need a match where vehicles are actively engaged but surviving.
Time Estimate: Could be 1 match if perfect, or 10+ matches if you keep getting bad vehicle scenarios
My Experience:
I completed this in my third attempt. First two matches had vehicles either dying too fast or taking too little damage. Third match had a great tank driver who pushed aggressively but smartly, taking consistent damage while staying alive. I followed him the entire match and ended with 7,200 repair credit.
Recommended Loadout:
Game Mode: Breakthrough (defense) or vehicle-heavy Conquest
Patience Required: This might take multiple attempts to get the right match conditions
The character skins you earn are exclusive to completing this challenge, making them great flex items. The Demolisher title is also a nice badge of honor showing you’ve mastered every aspect of Engineer gameplay.
Having completed every single Engineer challenge, here are some universal tips that apply across the board:
Primary Weapon Choices:
Your primary weapon matters less than your gadget selection for these challenges, but having something reliable helps you survive while completing objectives.
Best Modes for Engineer Challenges:
Avoid modes like Team Deathmatch or infantry-only servers—these won’t have the vehicles you need for most challenges.
Playing with a coordinated squad makes EVERYTHING easier:
Save your XP boosters for when you’re actively grinding these challenges. The score requirements will benefit from boosted XP, and you’ll level up faster overall.
Proper settings make vehicle combat significantly easier. Check our best settings guide for optimal configurations, especially for:
Let’s talk honestly about whether this grind is worthwhile.
Tangible Rewards:
Intangible Rewards:
My Verdict:
If you main Engineer or play it regularly, absolutely worth completing. The M136 launcher alone justifies the grind. If you rarely touch Engineer, maybe skip it and focus on challenges for classes you actually play.
The character skins are legitimately cool and fairly rare since many players don’t complete all challenges. If you like cosmetics and showing off mastery, these are great flex items.
I made every mistake possible while grinding these challenges. Learn from my failures:
Mistake #1: Not Focusing
Trying to complete multiple challenges simultaneously reduces efficiency. Focus on one objective at a time for faster completion.
Mistake #2: Wrong Game Modes
Playing infantry-focused modes when you need vehicle damage wastes time. Pick appropriate modes for your current challenge.
Mistake #3: Poor Positioning
Running into the open to hit vehicles gets you killed. Use cover, flank, and be smart about engagement timing.
Mistake #4: Giving Up on Hard Challenges
The laser designation requirement is frustrating, but it IS completable with persistence. Don’t abandon challenges halfway through.
Mistake #5: Ignoring Your Team
Being so focused on challenges that you ignore objectives loses matches and makes the game less fun. Balance challenge focus with good teamwork.
If Engineer challenges aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other challenge paths to explore:
Each challenge set offers unique rewards and focuses on different playstyles. Find what you enjoy and master it.
Completing Engineer challenges contributes to several achievements and trophies in Battlefield 6. If you’re a completionist hunting platinum/100% completion, you’ll need to finish these challenges anyway.
If multiplayer is overwhelming and you want to practice Engineer mechanics in a lower-pressure environment, try the campaign:
These missions feature vehicle combat and let you get comfortable with launchers and repair mechanics. Plus, you can grab collectibles while you’re at it.
The Engineer class challenges in Battlefield 6 are a marathon, not a sprint. They’ll test your patience, require coordination, and occasionally frustrate you. But completing them gives you exclusive rewards, improves your gameplay, and provides genuine satisfaction.
The key is approaching them systematically: focus on one challenge at a time, play appropriate game modes, and don’t stress about perfect efficiency. Some matches will give massive progress, others will give none—that’s just how Battlefield works.
Whether you’re hunting that M136 launcher, chasing exclusive character skins, or just want to prove your Engineer mastery, stick with it. The rewards and bragging rights are absolutely worth the effort.
Now get out there and start blowing up some tanks. Those challenges won’t complete themselves!
