Re: Scout of Action

@maximas1986 No fair!! Totally cracked players not allowed! I look forward to hearing about what you come up with. But it's gonna depress me lol.

EDIT You Bangalore story makes me wonder.  I haven't heard or thought of a way to cheese this particular minigame.  Maybe they're a super cracked gamer even though they cheat.  I mean, it's not like a strike pack aims for you. Only exploit I can really think of is they were using XIM or Cronus.  But even then, 125 is a very, very high score even for MnK  I think it's close to the maximum possible score, which is fixed by the G7's fire rate and reload time.  My money would be on them having paid someone to boost it for them.

I don't know if I can push it more but I don't think so 

@maximas1986,

I'm pretty we've all said that about ourselves already, and now we're at 81. I can't even hit 79 again yet, and now I have to hit 82 to be the queen of this leaderboard again...

Just you wait. We'll all push each other to 85, then 90 before we know it.

Congratulations on being #1... For now!

@EA_QueenBee   @maximas1986   You guys are the best!  For a while there, I had thought that this thread and competition would never take off.  @dSKyNafinchin  It's your turn to post a score!!

Max, I'm certain if you keep at it you'll score a lot higher.  My performance increased from barely hitting 70 to getting 80.  You'll just need to have a good shooting day and good RNG with the targets to get your 90.

My buddy is very, very good at the game.  But the poor guy is both color blind and color inverted, so he can't see the targets change color and can only go by the movement.  His other strat was just to literally hit every target as fast as he could lol.

A new bar has been set.

@pandareno1999 

Well, well, well then. Congrats on that GG. You really are trying to make this hard on the rest of us.

I will jump right on into it tonight before I play ranked with my buddies for warm up exercises.

I feel that you have set a very high Bar there. Need an 84 I see in order to take the lead and be crowned King or Queen in this contest.

@pandareno1999 

So far you have set the Bar for this, somehow out of my reach, for now. Having problems cracking 75. I guess I will have to keep trying. 

@pandareno1999 

I've found that quietly counting my shots out loud helps focus me. I think we've hit a little bit of a jump in score.

I am using mouse and keyboard, which is probably (definitely) cheating, but if we ignore the big R to Reload button in the center of my screen then I'll be expecting my crown in the mail. 😉 Give me a little bit of time to decompress, and we'll see how I do on a controller.

@pandareno1999 @dSKyNafinchin @maximas1986 @Lord_Scorpion34 

OMG. That's it I am throwing in the towel. There is no way I can win that fight.

All hail the Queen, long live the Queen, may she be crowned in glory for all the ages, praise and health we salute you @EA_QueenBee 

I did a bit of research to see what kind of scores one finds posted around.  It is absolutely without question that MnK has a distinct advantage in this exercise.

It looks like the highest score claimed is perhaps 148.  Timmy topped out at 134.  Controller highest scores seem to be around 120ish.  I saw a claim that Verhulst's top was 112.  I watched Jankz on stream the day that SOA debuted, and I think he got around 110, after some work.  After this cursory research, I'm going to estimate that MnK has about a 15% scoring advantage, at least WRT skill ceiling.  I saw some complaints of people using Cronus or xim, but given that the targets do not have aim assist, the only thing that brings into question is whether some reported "controller" scores may have been really done on MnK.   Here's a couple sources with some "regular folks" reporting their scores:

I think for the sake of fairness we sort of do have to have two categories here for controller vs. MnK, and I would love to see some more scores from our PC friends.  But I'm happy to bow to @EA_QueenBee for the time being!  I mean just look at your name, presence of royalty and all that...  If you're not that experienced with controller (you didn't mention), it may take you some time to get near our scores, but who knows??  Some people take right to the sticks. 

I feel that if I continue to grind on this, I may eventually break 90.  But that would really take some time, the returns are diminishing.  I'm usually lucky to get near 80 on any given day.  I'm not in the least bored of grinding this.  it's a fun self-challenge and I know that it has to be improving my target switching/flick aim.  I can certainly can feel a big difference after about ten minutes every time. So at the very least, i view it as a great daily warmup.  Not having access to tools like Kovaaks, we on console have limited ways to improve out aim outside game.

A separate discussion could be held here to vote on who has the best looking G7 skin/charm combo...

TIL that you can abort a round very quickly by dropping the G7 from your inventory, especially once the round is over as it eliminates the 8 second or so wait.  Up til now, I've been sliding out of the area to end a round early.

New Score

so ...where are we at ? 

ah yeah ......boom 😋

@maximas1986 

Oh man, that was fast!  😢😢

You're just putting the fire in my belly there.  I knew you'd be able to beat me, but after the 85, I didn't expect it would be so soon!!
