I'm never that lucky with Longarms, so thankfully the task only requires that I have one on an MVP bot, not that I have to use it.
Slapped one on my Killshot and one on my Shadow and capped beacons for the MVP award. Easy peesy.

Now do the Kill 30 Mechs with Longarm task!
I hate these Specialization Sprees. I can never finish them.

I'm at 19/30 right now....
I wonder, if I mash the red button and both my LA and RG16 fire and the target melts, do I get credit? Like is the game gonna be able to know which weapon dealt the death blow?

I slogged my way through it last night. So few of these Specialization Sprees are for something I actually own, and half the Battlethons now are just for tokens, arrggh.
Definitely got frustrating by the end there. I did 2xLA10 on my Ares for most of my 30 kills, but I got stuck a few short on the MVP task, so I went LA10+RG16 on my Panther and Guardian. Might have been better to just play those all along, not sure. I didn't want the RG to take all the kills, but I got a decent amount just single-firing the Longarm.

Update, put LA's on 2 mechs and went to town on TDM. Didn't care if I won or lost, just focused on dealing the coup de grace with the LA. So, used the RG16 to bring down health and then emptied the LA for the kill. Whew, first time in ages that I actually completed a Specialization Spree!

I'm still early in the game, so I paired the LA8 with an MR8. It was pretty efficient : when the RG didn't instakill the enemy, it weakened it enough that one or two more shots of LA would finish the kill.

I am doing well with 2 LA8s on Brickhouse. He has 30% damage boost with pilot along with ability damage boost of 50%. Played a couple matches and racked up good kills.

Playing 2v2 is my go to mode for doing a lot of different types of tasks.
I was able to get through the Long arms specialisation spree reasonably easily playing 2v2 and mainly using a 2 x LA8 Brickhouse and my usual Railgun / LA10 Panther.

For me, the Elon Station moon base map is ideal for Longarms. That central corridor is perfect for getting hits in the 150 to 175 meter range. Longarms do more damage the farther away the enemy is so gotta look for those kinds of shots and their there are not many to be found. I would run them on an Ares or Panther giving protection from all the Gauss Rifle shots from enemy Ai. I also recommend shooting the clip from one Longarm then shooting the clip from the other. This gives more chances for overheat to take effect giving even more damage to the shots whilst minimizing time where both guns are empty.
BTW, I was able to win the Longarm 12 from the event on the 2nd try. Will slowly upgrade it from available blueprints dropped from chests.
EDIT: For not knowing the difference between their and there!

I should have looked at this thread again last night. nocluevok's tip on just using Shadow to cap beacons and get the MVP would have come in handy. I got it done but this and maybe a Longarm Killshot would have gotten it done so much quicker. Great tip - next time I am definitely using it! |
