Strategic Tips for Completion
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the fastest way to complete this objective?
- The quickest method is to head into Squad Battles on a lower difficulty. You can easily score 5 goals and secure the win within a single match, then simply finish two more games to wrap up the 'Play 3' requirement.
- Are the rewards tradeable?
- No, all rewards from the Nike Wildcard Challenge, including the vanity items and the player packs, are untradeable.
- Can I combine this with other objectives?
- Absolutely. Since the requirements are generic (score, win, play), you should look to combine this with active Evolutions or other Milestone objectives to maximize your efficiency.
