Anyone else seeing this task? Kill 250 mechs with Arc Torrent 12?? Thats almost 80 mechs a day with that weapon. Are they freaking nuts? That kind of grind is not worth 300 A-coins. More and more, it feels like they are doing these ridiculous tasks for meager awards in order to push us into buying more. Sorry, but I have a life! I gave them the benefit of the doubt and opened a support ticket.

I have that 250 kills with AT task as well, but IIRC it doesn't specifically involve the AT12.
It might be a mistake... perhaps they meant 25 mechs. I hope they did mean that.
I recall there were such errors in the past events.
Or perhaps they're also waitig to see if there's any pushback for that task, and to which extent.
We need to voice our opposition if we are to stop them in their tracks.

I looked again...it's with AT10 or AT12, so if you have two mechs...

I was pondering whether grabbing the AT10 might still be worth it, so that combined with the AT12 it could provide an AT22 combo. But even if it's worthwile, I wouldn't do that just yet and not for this event.
Anyway, I encourage you to drop a message on MA's official forum and Facebook page.

I dropped a note in their Discord and was promptly told by someone else that it was possible to do in 2v2..which I replied back that I have a life.
Oh well, I'm close to being done with this game. As soon as another mech game comes out that looks interesting, I'm dropping this like I dropped War Robots.

2v2 works well for it, especially if you have both the AT10 and AT12 doubled. Against AI I get about 18 kills per match, mainly dropping Stalker AT10.
EDIT: Just finished it off. 2v2 is definitely the way to go.

Stalker is a beast once you can slap AT10s on it. I didn't really like it until I got it up to R6 for 20EN. Now maxing it is all I am grinding for. The maxed ones just stomp me in tournament. Can't wait til I can draw even with them. |

I've just killed more than 5 mechs with AT12 without it being counted in the "Kil 250 mechs" task. My kill count stays locked at 124.
Does anyone else experience the following ?
I'm thinking Plarium has perhaps shadow capped the number of kills for that task, i.e. they changed the target number but somehow forgot to reflect it on the task - so basically you've done the task already but it isn't counted as an achievement.

I'm at 174 and it's still counting. Thanks for your feedback. I kept looking into it and I think what happened was, because I used a configuration mixing AT12 with AT6, sometimes the game would determing the finishing blow as coming from the AT6. Hence the kill wouldn't count. That's even though I use both weapons at the same time. |

I don't have AT10 so I can't double up. Besides, I've already decided not to kill myself with this grind....got too much other stuff going on right now.

I imagine the challenge of accomplishing the 250 kills is meant to encourage the rank up ATs task. Works in Plarium’s favor.

Everything they do is an effort to put more money in their coffers. I can't begrudge them that, but they are getting more and more ridiculous.
