Finally did the Sword Kills Weekend Challenge. First I soloed Routine as my Legionnaire, and I was stuck using the inquisition Longsword, so it took me over an hour just to finish zone 5. On the upside, I managed to get Venatori, so it wasn't much of a challenge. Want to know the real kicker? I was only got 95 kills from that, and of course after I finished the match I got a better sword for the challenge.
Decided to just pug Routine to get the last 5 kills I needed. After losing connection several times (nice to see EA's learning from ME3...), I dropped into an in-progress game with an Archer and another Legionnaire. A Templar dropped in a bit later and it ended up being me and the Archer carrying the match since the other Legionnaire apparently didn't know how to generate Guard and the Templar kept trying to bum-rush.
On the upside, I managed to get the Shield of the Emperor from a medium chest, meaning I finally got a top-tier weapon. Easily one of the most annoying, yet oddly rewarding Weekend Challenges I've done. Now I just need to get a top-tier 2-hander, dagger, staff, and bow and I'm set.
