I am lucky enough to have received early access to the new Extermination mode. Here's a sneak peak for those who are interested. The rewards are much better now, and I like the stages. Also, there is a boss battle at the end which I actually enjoyed planning out how to defeat, even if it didn't exactly go to plan. They have definitely improved it from the original PVE mode, only issue I have found now is the targeting system.

Great to see! 100 platinum being a prize is honestly one of the best parts about it lol. Level one is great because you can do it in any bot. I beat it in a MK2 Cossack with Jaw. It's amazing.

5 hangars for the win?
Don't think I'll get very far unless the enemies are scaled re: hangar strength, given the levels of my gear.
But what the hey, I'll try anything once.

I did level one this morning in my Behemoth with 4 x Hwanje lasers. (the regular ones, not Ardent *sniff*)
I was killing the critters so fast I thought there was a tech issue. Pop! pop! p-p-pop! po-p-po-p-p-pop! Fun.

No second hangar for me, so just had the two levels.
Was very easy - but boring actually. The easy rewards are welcome. But thats all done for me with Extermination mode.
There had to be a catch. I dont want a second hangar and dont need one - another moral victory for me.
Maybe you will need 20 hangars to play Yam when it finally comes out.

another resource time consumption tool for us to "thank" pix for.
cant really complain, free is free. Odd you have to adjust for 2 hangars with adequate weapons and such for the 2 stage process but free is free. I do think it is a unique way to become more familiar with maps and find new spots for defense/assault

So here's something to keep in mind.
I have access to Extermination mode, also. I did the first round w/ my Mender and got 151 kills (just like Sebenza 21).
I decided to try it a second time to see if I could get the missing platinum. I used my Otto Mag Blitz and got 231 kills the second time around and received the missing platinum.
Really nice to know you aren't stuck only trying it once if you don't do as well as you'd like.

Just beat the third mode. Apparently you HAVE TO drop 3 robots to succeed even if you kill all the enemies. Which is incredibly stupid.
So even though everyone died, I didn't get the platinum because I only needed 1 mech to kill all of them. 「fluffernutter」ing morons.
Edit: picture added for those who haven't seen the event details yet.
Edit #2: Upon retrospect, I don't know if it means you need to drop 3 robots total between the two halves of this step or 3 robots in the second half. I sure hope it's the former.

I was curious about that feature. I got bored after rounds one and two, so I mixed it up a bit. Also, dont forget to drop in the titan, didnt get a chance to, but I had it full and ready just didnt launch it |

I dropped a still-in-development build as a sacrifice for my first drop for the second segment then completed with the Otto Mag Blitz. I still don't get credit for the 3 robots part.
Knowing Pix, this is simply broken.

It`s 3 bots in the 2nd game. You can ditch bots to drop the 2nd and then 3rd. Just make sure you do the required kills or damage or whatever by the end and then get all that lovely Pt.
I did it with Seraph and then quickly swapped in the other two in the last minute of the game.

Whelp, it isn’t scaled to hangar strength.
My 1.6 Hawk with 1.6 flame rockets had an easy time roasting critters but I could only cook 140 of them before time ran out.
So no Pt for me. I'm just not invested in the game play.

I made it to the fifth level, but that super Titan is just too much for me.

You need to use 3 bots in the second segment to get the platinum. |

The upper levels will either get harder or a payment will need to be made. Or like previous pve, will require a play token. Either way they will want money or time waiting. |
