I've played some shadowfall yesterday and shadows are really leaving hard now. You're lucky if you get 10 shadows in the end - that's very hard to win for shadows. I guess just try to get a game with at least 15 shadows and then try to work together to kill legends closest to dropship location (you should know it by 2nd circle +-). Blue+ armor needs 2 hits to kill, so best to go at least 2x1.

If you try to complete the 25 dropship mission and don't leave when you are shadow, you should win at least once or twice as shadow before you're done with the escape mission (unless you really never die).

    Honestly to win as a shadow you just have to pray you don't get a lobby of ragequitters. Also hunt any pathfinder/wraith you see as they can legit just stroll into the evac ship.

      Saw a funny match where the LZ was near the cage. Out of the last 10, I think 8 or 9 were pathfinders and most of them grappled to the top of the Cage. None of them made it to the ship, but the only Wattson defending the ground floor walked to the LZ for the win 🙂.

      Anyway, most players are probably grinding for the "escape 25 times"  challenge and they team up early and avoid fights at all costs. This way, they can pop multiple ults and are impossible to stop. I think Respawn should've thought of an ultimate challenge for the shadows as well (kill 200 legends, win 100 times, etc.), to keep the 2 sides balanced.

        @DoYaSeeMe Kill 200 legends, yes, 100 wins screw that xD just 25 wins!

        I had that one as well, when I was playing pathfinder still... so that was for wins 1-4 counting towards the challenge. I grappled from the other side all the way to the top, timed it right, did tactical zipline and swung over the cage right onto the where the ship was, had to run few feet but still, nice swing.
