This is more so a question for EA/Respawn, so let me just lay out the reasoning as to why it should count...These themed events are a nice change of pace to the regular game modes, and offer so much needed variety to a game lacking in diversity of play options. And as a developer, I am sure that you are creating these events in part because you want the players to actually play these modes.The problem is that there are a lot of people, like me, who don't play these events simply because playing them doesn't help them grow their stats, which is the only thing to tangibly work on/towards to show your prowess in Apex. I am actually enjoying this holiday game mode quite a bit, but I don't play it because it almost feels like a waste of time since it doesn't increase any of my stats like kills/damage/wins/etc.I know that there are going to be people who agree and disagree with me on this, but I hope this is something you consider changing in the future.

@IAmTheMeddler I can think of a few major reasons.It’s easy to stack up kills and damage. I saw a player get 40 kills and do 6800 damage. That would allow players to inflate their numbers and hame stats. It’s not normal game play or remotely closer to normal game play. It would allow players to unlock badges they have not earned.

@IAmTheMeddler The Winter Express LTM is a whole different game. Counting its stats would be just like adding Titanfall 2 stats to Apex just because it's the same universe and share many assets and mechanics. Would that be OK?This is a problem though: "I am actually enjoying this holiday game mode quite a bit, but I don't play it because it almost feels like a waste of time since it doesn't increase any of my stats like kills/damage/wins/etc.". First of all, how can you enjoy it if you don't play it? Then, how is enjoying the gameplay itself a bigger waste of time than pushing stats? They don't get you money or anything, actually they don't even reflect the complex skills needed to win in this game...

@CrazyPlays54 Title doesn't say it all.70 kills, 12654 damage, 32325 XP after a 49 minutes and 43 seconds match that ended with a "game over".THIS example is why Winter Express LTM should not add to the overall stats.

@DarthVaapar the match can have 7 rounds, like 3-2-2, but can also have more if rounds end in draw. Anyway, 2 enemy teams = 6 enemies x 7 rounds => it's possible to kill 42 people. Some of the kills need to happen after the enemies capture the train though, but before the respawns.So, 40kills and 6800 damage is very difficult to achieve, but certainly not impossible.Actually, wow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMdmpOut9Ek

i want to know why so many people i hit for 175 damage in 3-5 sec and they are still bouncing around like nothing happened

Why do kills/damage not count from holiday event?

@HellsBlackAce They popped a shield cell or two, are a gibi, have a life line on their squad or you did not do 175 damage..

Wait, what? There are only 18 kills to be had by one person in any given match. That’s wiping both the other two squads for three rounds all by yourself. 3150 is 175 * 18. So even if the opponents did a lot of healing, 6800 is still unrealistic.

@DarthVaapar If all teams get two captures that’s 6 rounds. 6x6 is 36 kills, the 7th round to decide who wins would be an additional 6 kills. Now you’ll need to subtract 4 kills for the 4 rounds the enemy wins, which would leave you with 32 kills, add 6 kills from the 7th round and you’re at 38. However those can easily made up via rounds in which no one captures the train.

@DarthValtrex they didn't have time to pop a cell when they were shooting the whole time, is normally the robot and yes the death summary says i over 175 damage for them, then the match today with the person with the purple shield on in winter express
