🔍 What Are Soft Objectives?
Soft objectives are hidden or optional tasks that aren’t required to complete a mission but heavily influence your final score. They include actions like:
Reporting key evidence
Identifying injured civilians or criminals
Locating illegal goods
If you want consistent S-Ranks, mastering these soft objectives is absolutely essential.
✅ Why Soft Objectives Matter for S-Ranks
With recent updates:
S-Rank scoring now works in multiplayer, not just solo.
Team deaths now cause score penalties in both modes.
Missing soft objectives can mean the difference between an A and S score.
If you’ve ever finished a mission and wondered why you didn’t get the top rating, you likely skipped one or more of these hidden objectives.
