I appreciate that MA is coming up with events and more ways to acquire resources. That said, I’m not too crazy about today’s. I don’t run a Juggernaut and I’ve got higher priorities for my hanger.
I think I’ve decided to pass on acquiring a Jugg just to get some resources and keys. Hopefully the next ‘spree’ will concern something I’ve got in my hanger.
On a side note I hope they don’t include the upgrade 15 items again. I’m not sure I could do that do that again with out acquiring new weapons or upgrading stuff I’m not very interested in using.

Jugg is like in 5th slot of my five main mechs. Though I only use one or two usually in tournament, maybe 3 in cpc. When I do get to use him he is effective with rpg 6 or pulse cannon 6. Right now I have a MR 6 and Pulse Cannon 6 on him. Surprisingly good though not great.
This should be a relatively easy event with my Jugg. And I really could use the resources.

I don’t use Juggernaut very often, but this event, (and a great game with DukeOfAdvil) reminded me how effective it is running around with javelin 6’s.

Jugg is a regular in my lineup, so this one was a breeze. The one for the MD a little while ago was a little harder, because I do have one, but don’t usually run it so it’s barely leveled. I know there are going to be challenges coming for gear I don’t own, and I’m just gonna just let them go by. I’ll try to do the dailies; other than that, I’m not going crazy to try to finish everything. You can drive yourself nuts feeling like you HAVE to complete every challenge they throw at you.

I used to go a little too crazy trying to finish everything on war robots. Don’t want to go down that road again. |

That’s great advice and very sound. From what I’ve read Juggs sound useful. |

Also depends on the prize, not too excited about a bunch of vault keys, but if they were Acoins that would be a different story.

It really starts coming into its own when you rank it up to R4 and EN16. I like that its shield isn’t timed, but lasts until enemy fire wears it down, and then the cool down timer starts. It’s my go-to mech with MR8’s on enclosed tournament maps where javs don’t work so well. |

you can play w/ teammates to get the task done faster. I ran a bunch of games w/ Munki dukeofadvil hicycles last night. We had a rule where if the red team was all AI, we'd all start in juggy's so we can all get some beacons. |

Juggernaut is a rotation bot for me, that said ran it with java 6s and finished the event in 8-10 matches.
This loot rush I opened 7 of the 10 key vaults, and 3 were 750 acoins 2 were 25k coins and 2 were skins.. so I dont mind the vault keys

  Having an issue closing the deal. Juggy too slow, and seems everyone has moved on so getting gold with him is difficult. Any ideas on how i can score my last 20? Which would you try and focus on? |

Which would you try and focus on? first drop your juggy, go for seven beacons, and try to last as long as you can in it. put your best weapons on him |

Which would you try and focus on? first drop your juggy, go for seven beacons, and try to last as long as you can in it. put your best weapons on him ^^^ This. I’d put the second jav on him. It’ll take 7 games, but drop the jugg first and go straight for the closest CP - you should be able to get there before somebody else can completely turn it. Then stay near cover nearby and dump on everything that comes near. Don’t worry about winning the game, only about keeping your jugg alive as long as you can and getting kills. I don’t know (or care) how kosher this is to do, but when I get challenges like this for a specific mech, I’ll run just that one mech for a bunch of games. That way you’re not competing with your own mechs for one of those three MVP spots, so you can usually bang out that challenge pretty quickly. One CP cap and 3 or 4 kills should get you there. |

It took me a while but I eventually finished the Jugg event. I'm not a fan of running tanks but the Jugg is a mainstay in my hangar. I shudder to think of what would happen if they start doing Lancer and Paragon events! I don't really need any more Loot Chest keys, so if they do come out with those events, I'll likely skip them.

There was a daily task for me to spawn Lancer in 3 games. That one wasn't too bad and I didn't even lose all 3 games, and my Lancer actually did ok even though it's only R2 right now. It was kinda fun actually, and I think I will throw some resources into it one day just for some variety.

I know I havent seen much about the Cheetah butt he people I run into that seem to know how to run it.. they are annoying and look fun to play. |

The Cheetah looks interesting but to me, it's more of a novelty mech. The few I've run into in the game didn't do too well and I rarely see a Cheetah as MVP. If they had made the Cheetah the fastest mech in the game so that it lives up to its namesake, then I would have considered getting it more seriously. From what I can see, the basic playstyle is to draw reds after you to run into bombs, or guard CPs by planting bombs that weaken an attacking red, and then finish it off before the CP turns red.
If I wanted hit and run or hit from cover tactics, I have my Shadow with Jav6 for that already.

I know I haven't seen much about the Cheetah but the people I run into that seem to know how to run it.. they are annoying and look fun to play. I've thought the same thing about the Cheetah... I could see myself playing only support based hangar that used Cheetah, MD, Zep, Guardian, and one day, Brick... and just looking to debuff Reds or buff Blues as my goal. Cheetah is sneaky as HELL when played right... those three mines have 「fluffernutter」ed my plans up multiple times. I have only come across real players using it though... no AI yet.
Lancer is R4 along with Shadow... for now... but I will prolly R5 both of them lol.
I have a problem... I want ALL the things.
