In short, no. Progress towards challenges will not be counted if you are playing in Deathmatch mode. Weekly missions can only be completed in the following modes:
- Unrated
- Competitive
- Spike Rush
- Swiftplay
It should be noted that in some cases, certain missions may be completed in Deathmatch mode if the challenge explicitly requires actions exclusive to that mode, such as hitting headshots in a VALORANT Deathmatch.
Why are Deathmatch matches not considered for missions?
Deathmatch does not count towards mission progress due to its distinct gameplay objectives. The mode focuses on individual kill counts without the strategic team-based elements found in other modes like planting the Spike or teamwork required in completing missions.
Including Deathmatch in mission progress could potentially make completing missions too easy, especially those that involve accumulating kills, as it is generally easier to achieve kills in Deathmatch compared to modes like Unrated or Competitive where strategic play is paramount.
Which modes are eligible for mission completion?
To successfully complete most missions, players should focus on the following modes:
- Unrated – The standard non-competitive mode that provides the full gameplay experience.
- Competitive – Ranked play where skill-based matchmaking is utilized.
- Spike Rush – A quicker version of standard gameplay with shorter rounds and unique rules.
- Swiftplay – A hybrid mode combining elements of Unrated and Spike Rush for faster matches while still incorporating agent abilities and teamwork.
