I'm happy to beacon swap with another beacon swapper. I was in Dead City (haloween event) in an unarmed Cossack and a red was in a identical load out. We were doing laps up one side and crossing over. Lasted 3 beacons I think. I'm sure we would have waved out the windows if it were possible. Then someone went "oooh, Cossack. Must kill." But he was prolly on kill task.
But I'm not sure how to organise 12 players to do it. Even if you had a whole squad how do you choose the other side?
At the end of the day, you need to get beacons and kills to win. If you play it will all happen.

When I first started, I though the stealth was like a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey, as opposed to an eyeball shaped target above your head. You may as well carry a flag that says Here I Am, Shoot Me In Ten Seconds

This is awesome! What's not so awesome, is that I'm already behind Never expected I would complete anyway. I'll get my dash the hard way. I already have 155/10000 Haechi components. Shouldn't take more than a few years now......lol

If you're a Clubber, there is no skill involved. Zero.
Using MkII Haechis with MKII weapons against 8/8 Au bots is a rout, not a display of skill. In actual fact, if you're up there with that level of equipment you are depleting any skill, unless you are playing identical enemy. Waltzing into the spawn and laying waste to the entire other team who are many levels below in League, Bots and Weps, is NOT skill.
If you want a fair fight, both teams have to specify bot/weapon levels & types. THEN the skill will come out.
Just sayin'
EDIT Not having a shot at FAL or whoever, BTW.
Remember this; A well coordinated, focussed group will always defeat an uncoordinated enemy of greater numbers. So if you're up against a clan squad, and they have comms, and you're all soloing, it's game over.

If you are on kills and are using bullet weapons make sure the target isn't full health (depending what it is) and more importantly, Your mags are full. No use hosing someone down to 10% health to have someone else kill steal while you are reloading.
Flash is right with 2 cappers max (light fast ones). I use the first one out of the gatewhich can be good for 2 or even 3 map dependant. Save the last one until last when there's not much left to kill you and not enough enemy to keep all their bases covered.

That will work the first time. Maybe. Costs to change your name though, pity. There being no in-game chat, changing your name to communicate something across would be viable. In Mother Russia there will no Freedom Of Speech!

The Fujin's side weapons are low enough to hit a cloaked Stalker (with bullet weapons) The spread of a Thunder will generally also hit the Stalker. Also, if the Stalker is on higher ground (or the stepped platform near B on Shenzen, i.e. the bendy roof), will also get it up to a perfect height to get whipped.
I find the stealth does not last long enough to run out in the open. OK to cloak, duck out from behind a building, launch weps, then duck back in.
The stealth really just stops missile lock on.

Most of my stuff is 9/8/7 One 9 Griff, two 9 Pinatas, everything else less. Yet I'm up to Master League 1 with no sign of slowing. Maybe should of stopped at 6/6 (but I didn't read about that theory until just recently). I'm certainly not going to go past 9/9.
Haven't seen a whole lot of whales lately though

LOL, I got through Natasha. Next game, I was in there like a demon, I was up to about 8 kills, then I realized. Wait. Don't I need beacons? 9 kills, 2 beacons. Ooops. Swapped out a Leo for my speedy little Cossack. Let the capping begin!
Funny thing, I won a Gareth in the 1000 key spin and thought "oh great". But it's actually quite a good capper with some firepower.

I do admit that the events are same same but different. For a game that players can play completely free, there is whole lot of whining going on. That aside, more bots and weapons can be a good thing with the new Hanger decks. Still mega expensive though, but to have a brawler map deck and a open map deck, or a BR deck would be great. I would have liked to see a hanger deck as a prize rather than a bot or weapon. I am certainly not going to bring my levels above 9, so I will level up more different bots. SOooo, I will play, grind, cap and win. And get me a cool green Griffin. That I will have to level up...sigh
And don't forget, new players will think a shiny new Magnum is awesome!

I lost at least 6 or 8 in a row at the start of the Wins challenge. Since then got through it. Last stage of Natty, been hauling through that one, last 3 games got 7 or more kills each game. What's bad is when you only need one more and you get 5. They don't carry over

I've pushed a red out of the beacon in BR enough to grab it. We were both firing point blank but he edged me out and killed me. Of course I spawned right there and blasted him. Still doesn't beat off the bridge though. If bots except jump bots had fall damage it would be interesting...

If the Carnage is all you're after:
Play 3 games per day, earning 100k per game.
Then putting that through the workshop for 23 days (assuming you are Lev 9 and have 6 slots). 570 WSP/day x 23 days = 13,110 WSP

The 404 games only gets you the wins as its 1 task at a time Hmmm, good point. My math is wrong. Bad wrong. Sooo.... We have 404 games for the wins At roughly 6 kills per game (spend one robot to kill one), that's another 152 games. Caps. That's a hard one, let's say 3. Some maps you can grab 2 easy but with the open maps the beacons don't tend to change hands so often (Moon = good, Springfield = bad) Another 241 games. Total games - 797. Let's say 800. At 8 mins per game it's a staggering 48,000 minutes. 800 hours. OMG

I thought I would do the maths proper on the current Christmas Event (stage 1, i.e. to get the Bulgasari)
Based on the task list photo that was posted, the numbers are thus
Wins - 202 Kills - 914 Caps - 725
Lets say you're a non-whale and you get around a 50% win rate, and each game lasts for 8 minutes average. To win 202 games you would need to play 404 games for a total of 3232 minutes, or nearly 54 hours. If the event stage 1 is 18 days, that's a mere 3 hours a day.
Which is achievable. Sort of like saying a divorce is achievable.
You would only need to get about 2.2 kills per game played, and less than 2 beacons per game, for the 404 games

Technically, the daily events also work against winning. It's like players are on a mini event for their 60/70 gold. Now excuse me, I must grind.

Guys they lied, it says the deadline is the 22nd of December on the task list. Check it if you don't believe me! But that is on the first task which usually has an earlier deadline that the rest.

I like how it shows winning 10K components on the first spin. Just to show how easy it is. LOL

Just got a popup post-game on our FB GR PCs stating the Christmas Event is on and ends in 34 days
There's a button to Go To The Event
Problem is the button just takes you to Royale With Cheese
/confused
EDIT: OK, the link is wrong, it takes you to Royale, but should take you to the tasks screen. First stage = Magnum (like the last event)
