Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking after a match? Season 5 has had problems with REDSEC redeploys and progress in both Rapid Royale and standard Battle Royale. EA addressed specific weekly challenge bugs in update 2.1.2.0 on 10 November 2026.
Before you queue up to try again, check the week and game mode. Some objectives weren’t registering progress at all. Others had descriptions that didn’t match what the game actually counted. The difference matters when you’re trying to work out why you’re stuck.
Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking: Week 4 to Week 10 fixes
EA lists changes for Weeks 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10. These are targeted fixes, not a promise that every weekly challenge is now working perfectly. Find your week and mode below before trying again.
Season 5 weekly challenge fixes by week
- Week 4 Bonus: Multiplayer and REDSEC conditions are meant to advance independently. A match in one should not automatically complete the other.
- Week 7 Bonus: A progression calculation issue in Rapid Royale was corrected.
- Week 7: A separate standard Battle Royale progression error was fixed.
- Week 8 Bonus: REDSEC player redeploys were not always counted correctly. EA says the tracking issue was fixed.
- Week 8: The top-squad-placement objective received updated criteria and tracking across supported Royale modes.
- Week 9: An incorrect description was brought into line with the actual completion criteria. Separate progress calculation bugs in standard Battle Royale and Rapid Royale were also fixed.
- Week 10: The description now states that Superior items from every Royale mode, including Rapid Royale, qualify.
The Week 8 redeploy and Week 9 changes fix tracking problems. Week 10 is slightly different: EA clarified the wording so players know that Superior items picked up in Rapid Royale count towards the objective.
Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking after the patch? Try this
Check the game version first. Patch 2.1.2.0 was released on 10 November, so make sure you’ve downloaded it before testing an objective affected by these fixes.
- Read the objective in the current Season 5 weekly challenge menu. Do not rely on an old guide screenshot if the requirement has been rewritten.
- Look at the named mode. Multiplayer, REDSEC, standard Battle Royale and Rapid Royale are not automatically interchangeable.
- Enter an eligible match and perform the exact action. For the Week 8 redeploy objective, make sure the redeploy occurs in a supported REDSEC mode.
- Finish the match, revisit the challenge screen and check whether the counter changed.
- If it still fails, record the week, objective wording, playlist, platform and match before raising an EA support report.
If a fresh attempt still doesn’t count, don’t waste another evening repeating it. Take a screenshot of the current requirement and note the playlist you used. EA hasn’t announced a manual reset for these particular weekly counters.
Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking: will old progress return?
The patch notes don’t say that missing progress from before 10 November will be added back automatically. If an earlier redeploy or top-squad finish never registered, use a fresh eligible match to check the fix instead of expecting the old counter to update.
Try a fresh eligible attempt first. Do not unlink your EA Account or reinstall the whole game just because a counter did not immediately jump. Neither step is listed by the publisher as a solution to these weekly progression bugs.
Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking in Rapid Royale?
Rapid Royale and standard Battle Royale don’t always count progress in exactly the same way. EA fixed separate Week 7 and Week 9 calculations for those playlists, so check the objective before assuming a match in one mode will count for the other.
For Week 10, Superior items count across all Royale modes, including Rapid Royale. Week 4’s Multiplayer and REDSEC conditions, on the other hand, are meant to progress separately. Choosing the right queue matters just as much as doing the task.
When should you report Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking?
If a new, qualifying attempt still leaves the counter at zero, report the exact challenge, week, platform and playlist to EA. A screenshot of the objective and the unchanged progress counter will make the report more useful.
Casino Heist Contracts and their DOUGH currency are a separate event system. Completing an event Contract does not prove that your weekly Season 5 objective has advanced. If you are using the 13–16 November free trial, keep the event screen and weekly screen distinct when checking progress.
If you’re still dealing with Battlefield 6 challenges not tracking after the patch, update the game, read the latest requirement and try one fresh match in the right mode. If that fails too, report the exact objective to EA instead of grinding it over and over.
