I’ve been having some luck with collaborator using juggernaut and stasis beam. Still annoying since no progress is made for gold medals in damage.

also depends if mm has it out for you, if you are on the ai 「dookie」 list you wont survive long enough to string assists. only way is to keep playing until ai cares more about someone else, as munki said, squading could help that It does. I did get assists while playing solo but it is much more difficult to do. Even having one other human on the blue team simplifies the job. |

Sheesh, the Battlethon event is just awful! The two hardest tasks: 50 gold medals for damage and 35 Collaborator tasks contradict each other. Gold medals for damage can only be acquired in CPC. To get them, win or lose, you have to out-damage your team. Ok, not rocket science, but it's also not guaranteed that I can do that every game. I played a bunch of games this morning already, and only scored 1 gold medal for damage. Then, there's the Collaborator award. To get that, you have to get at least 3 Assists with the same mech (I think). That gets you the lowest: Comrade. I forget the higher names right now, but think about it for a second. If you're trying to get the most damage, chances are, you're going to kill your target. Not only that, if you're in a heated firefight, you're not going to stop firing and hope a team mate takes out your target. No, you're gonna keep shooting til its dead! The way these events are set up, you can skip one of the 20 point tasks cause the total number of points for getting all is 120, and you only need 100 to complete. So, I'm gonna skip the Collaborator one cause that's just too hard to do, even though it you can work on it in both TDM and CPC. 700 A-coins is substantial, but I don't know if it's worth driving myself crazy! Same with the gold medals. I have been mvp damn near 30 games in a row and only gotten the gold medal for damage 9 times. And this is with the MOST kills. Lmao, guess I'm picking off lame ducks. |

I've started blocking Blue AI whenever I can so that MY damage is what is counted. Among other selfish moves. I only do this intentionally when I am fairly sure that there are no Humans on my team, though. But if I am confident it's all AI... I shoot everything that moves and actually aim for Tanks (since they have so much HP).
Guardian is my main tool for this since it will strip the Tanks' shields. Put my highest damage weapons on there and just troll for Juggies. I get Gold medals for damage even when I don't have top kills doing this... a good bit.
Also, Carbines give you a bonus to damage score... if you have them, put them on the Guardian and go tankin'! (Kinda funny sayin' that after coming from War Robots lol)

Call me slow but I have no idea who is who. I never know if my team is all AI or has some human player mixed in unless I squad. |

This thread has a LOT of the AI names... another way that you can check is looking at the Recommended friends list after a battle... any new ones there that were in your last battle were human.
And no worries... you aren't slow... their AI is actually programmed well... and can go from slathering idiots to crack shot aim bots from game to game.

If you heal a blue with MD and he kills a red, is that considered an assist??

If you have tickets play the Tunnel of Fate tourney map today, and just run the panther with thermal lances (add one stasis beam if you have it), and fire them straight down the tunnel, youll rack up a ton of assists. if you can find a squad member with long arms and just throw shields and overheat players for them. Easy money |

Only inflicting damage within a short time period before they are killed by another Blue will net you the "assist." That's what makes getting the Collaborator achievements so hard! I missed out on 700 A-coins. Oh well. I'm only currently working on upgrading my MD so it doesn't hurt as much as it will when I start working on ranking up my Panter and SB12. If only they made it so that you just need to damage a red to get the Assist! The current timing is so hard. Like, I'll get a red to a sliver but then he survives long enough that when he finally get killed, I don't get the Assist. Happened so often that I just gave up on the event entirely. |

All I did was take my panther with SB16 and TL6 and zap everyone for a few seconds and would repeat that cycle. Arena map was great I could stand up there and just hit everyone for a few seconds and move to the next hoping within that time I had to get an assist someone else killed the mech. I think I finished that task in 2 days. Now the get top damage one.. holy cow... outside of the luck of 8 in a row on the last day after the first 4 days I had only 11 of the 25.. |

Well, the Development Derby is back. TBH, I can't even come close this time as I'm all out of credits. Been working on my MD and ever spare credit I have has been going into making it R5 as soon as possible. I'm about halfway thru R4 now and the upgrades are getting expensive!
These specialization events are a great way to get chunks of resources, but I can't keep up. I'm not that hard core of a gamer!

one thing i noticed to consider is that three of the events this week have the task to rank up 3 bots or weapons, potentially fulfilling three events with the same upgrades. Also a rank up counts as an upgrade if you are trying to complete the 10 upgrade task, so do the 3 rank up task first. definitely worth waiting until all events are out for the week

Maybe the devs are listening? This last Battlethon was nowhere as bad as the last one. The 30 wins with friends for 10 marks was a bit stupid, but I got all the other ones. The 440k damage was a surprise as I'd thought that damage was only counted during CPC games, but this morning, I had a rather furious TDM game that went 3 rounds and I got that task done.

Question about the current Development Derby. I noticed in the last one that they reduced the task for Referral Link to just 1. This time though, I've tried a few times our little trick that we documented here, but I'm not knocking off this task. Anyone else have this problem? I've sent a support question in too just to see what they say.

I don't know. I made a new account on another device to try it out and it still didn't work. I think it's a bug.
Oh well, the grand prize is an Amateur crate. I've got 80 marks now. I'm not going to worry over it.
