Difficulty 10 isn’t that hard. I regularly play on 10 and I’m not great at the game.
The truly challenging part of the challenge was that the devs were supposed to use specifically chosen niche, underutilized, and poorly balanced weapons and gear to prove the point that the devs are out of touch in regards to the gameplay and balance of the vast majority of the equipment available to players.
A big aspect of this whole situation is that it arose because a huge chunk of the playerbase is fed up with the developer’s decisions.

I thought the challenge was because it was a hive world which is a difficulty multiplier due to the alien’s home turf advantage including underground areas, special abilities like burrowing, and hive lords (sand worms). I missed the weapon choice restrictions.

A second user issued the weapon restriction challenge. I don’t play HD2, but apparently they specifically chose weapons that the playerbase widely agrees are underpowered, but the devs say are fine
