Grenades are something I haven't really used much in the event. I always think it's best to focus on shooting Shadows. But I'll definitely be trying some nade spam on the LZ now. 🙂

I agree with what you said, about Wattson and Caustic being fun. I've seen players putting Wattson's Perimiter Security fences up around the LZ to great effect. There are also some great spots at the Runoff LZ, where you can use Wattson's fences inside the buildings. It can take lot of ammo to defend in this situation, though. You often get a large queue of Shadows waiting for you to go outside your perimiter to the LZ and you have to keep picking them off. It's good fun. 🙂

It is great fun, you are right.

Grenades are super powerwull agains shadows!

I saw someone kill 12 shadows with one arc star, out of evac ship.

I don’t use grenades but arc stars got a couple of them out of dropship. I think 4 with one.

I did it! As of almost an hour ago got 25 wins out of dropship, sitting at 26 now, wanted to go rambo next match, did it and still got out xD.

Now I might just play Shadows from time to time just to harass ppl. Later on I’m gonna make a thread on how to get on the damn ship ^.^ look forward to it

And I can confirm that your deaths as a Shadow don’t count (at least now, probs when they sneaked in that you can’t do the 20 kill with shadows as well) so don’t worry bout your K/D. The only death that gets recorded is the one as a legend. You’re welcome 😉

Finally unlocked the 25 escapes badge. It feels good. There were ups. And a lot of downs. But I made it! So happy to get that out of the way. I can get pretty competitive at times. Now I can actually enjoy the game mode. My first round afterwards felt good. I didn't care if I won or lost. It was about enjoying the atmosphere and game play. Which I was. Now all that's left are the daily challenges for the Alternator skin.  🙂

P.S. My main was Wraith. Try to do all your killing in the first round. People are less likely to come back because they'll see all the other victims around. Afterwards it's all about stealth. Don't shoot unless it's a must. If you do, they'll be back and with friends. Wait for the evac ship to arrive while maintaining a distance. Then try and time it with whatever distance you think will get you there seconds after it shows. Not before. The shadows will be preoccupied with the others that beat the ship landing. When getting close use Dimensional rift. Hold off on using Voices from the Void as long as possible. If you use it too early, you might end up short and you'll be dead. After that, enjoy the ride and toss out some grenades for a parting gift. Hope this helps!  🙂

@Koochi-Q  Awesome! We did it!  🙂

Absolutely agree it's not much fun

It does tell you where the first ring is before you even leave the drop ship. If you head for that area, you'll then have the countdown of the ship landing and the time it's on the ground to get there. This is much easier as pathfinder or octane, but caustic is good to use when camping in the evac ship general area. Hope this helps. 

Great event, love it overall.

Problem: Being a zombie gets boring quickly with the long respawn time and no challenging gameplay just run and die. also theres no reward for being one.

Solution:

• Make challenges for zombies: Kill 50 legends get a badge.
• Let the zombies have a fun 'Q' skill but not interrupting the balance. (fine balance atm between zombies/legends) Could be Jump insanely high and then fly like you do from ballons.
• Do something about the travel/transportation. When you have killed a legend and you have to run across the map it's boring even tho you are pretty fast. Maybe be even faster when >400 meters from any legend or something.
• Decrease spawntime of the zombie if they quit. So 4 zombies can do the work of 15 in the end.

@IAmTheMeddler Which daily challenges? Please bear in mind that shadow kills shouldn't be counting toward kill challenges, if that's your issue.
