Seems it was there to drain keys. They did the same thing before the Halloween skin event.  |

80 keys to complete this rush,will this be a regular thing or a one off for the new skins ?.
I may skip this vault blitz and save my keys,I'm needing A coins and credits more than skins.

Yeah, the 80 key thing is crazy. When I first saw it before I put on my glasses, I thought it was 500 as usual...but later...80??? Wow... I only had 37 keys saved up and my goal is to get enough to get the 400 A-coins. I'm ok with the new skin and I already have it running on my Shadow. Yes, OU812?, you can run this skin too on your Shadow! When we squad, we can be the Shadow twins! Anyway, I don't think I'll get the Panther skin. It's nice and all, but way too hard to do. Even if I bought that 25 key pack for $30, it wouldn't bring me to the end, so I won't bother. Real life is much more important, and besides, I'm holding out for the Enforcer skin for my Panthers. My dream would be to have all the Prototype skins for all my mechs. I already have the ones for Paragon, MD and just picked up Falcon for the Guardian recently. If I can get Chrome for the Guardian, that would be awesome too. IMO, when it comes to the skins, unless it's the Prototype ones, that not only changes the colour scheme but the mech's aesthetics too, then they're not worth putting too much sweat guts and tears (and money) into them. |

Lol, Yeah I’m already rocking the new Shadow skin. We must squad and raise hell. The addition of new skins is cool and all, but it makes me realize I may never clear skins out of loot boxes. I’m rolling mostly 20-key boxes for the A-Coins and that Apex Shadow skin. It was awesome last loot blitz. A-Coins from three out of four 20s. This time none of them. Oh well. With this week’s rush and the 25 key pack deal I wonder if they’re testing how the player base will respond. Looking for the profitability. I won’t bite. Keys alone don’t interest me but they may get me to spend on a multi-resource deal that includes credits, A-Coins, etc. I think they need a type of specialized blueprint that players can turn into any blue print they need or are desperate for. That could be another selling point. Always thought Pix should have tried that with components. |

I dunno if I can get there only had 27 going into this.. usually I stay out of GM because its just insane the points you need in there. Last round was a guy whos run 32k+ matches and was hitting 1st in GM for two consecutive rounds with 20-25k in points. I'll hard pass on chasing that down. Panther one is cool but I'm one feat away from having the gold skin so I'll just rock that for awhile. |

OU812? if these are like the Halloween skins, they're not sticking around beyond the event. 20 key chests are only really worth it when you've cleared all of the blue skins. 60/40 split in favor of skins in the 10 until the blues are cleared, then the Credit % chance goes up, making the 20 more worth it. Koalabear it's a 2 week rush. Wouldn't sweat the Panther skin unless you have the keys to knock it out completely by the end.

I started playing last fall and didn’t realize Plarium did exclusive skin events. Thanks on the key chest explanation too. Appreciated. |

Oh there was a lot of selective play... you can live Jug.. as I chase down a shadow & lancer to usually my death.. The SB task was everyone gets a zap.. the hardest was the LA.. as killing 900 70m+ was crazy.. I'd love to see how many misses/wall hits there was in that feat.. |

A.c.r.u.x. whoever gets the Gold Paragon skin is a hero (Use Autocannons to kill 900 mechs while they're neutralizing your beacon) I'm going for the fat man first, then Lancer. Should have the RPG task(15M damage to rear armor) by the time I second copy the little guy, then sticking Plasmas on one, Javs on the other. Just need the weapon feats for fatty:

Feel free to poke around. A lot of old heads from when Walking War Robots still needed a WIKI,as well as moderators and trusted contributors play this instead. |

Yeah Panther was my first blue feat skin... and it's probably going to be my first gold, too... but I am only about 65% done. My SB task is almost done though... working on the Carb and LA tasks in increments.
But yeah, that LA task takes a LOT of dedicated sniper play, and I just don't have the skills to focus on that while squadding, which takes up most of my play time, lately. I do plan on getting on a CPC run and just rolling LAs, win or lose, to try to knock that one out. Probably need to do it as a duo to make sure at least one of my teammates is going for beacons while I enjoy my campsite  |

Bigger maps did better for me in 5x5. Just food for thought, your results may vary. |

I was wondering how I was ever going to do that, especially since I have no plans to R6 my LA10. Also, I much prefer the Carb12 on the Guardian, especially for tournament play. With it being damage based with no short cuts (kill stealing), it feels like this one is going to take FOOOOREEEEEVEEEEER!!!... |
