Unbalanced specialists mastery

@Kozaka9628 Sundance is actually really easy, Exposure or Stranded Breakthrough.

At least for Zain, it is kills AND assists. That makes it much easier.

I wish Lis included kills, it is just vehicles destroyed, and Dozer is ONLY kills.

@Kozaka9628 I would disagree about Zain. Airburst is quite strong, especially for killing camperdos from top of towers/cranes/containers or from behind cover. It locks automatically. If the enemy is on top of the tower for example, and you're within 100 meters, just aim at the base of it and then shoot couple meters away. Same for cover/containers etc.

But yea, I do agree that Tier 1s are wildly imbalanced. For example you can do Casper's 8000 in a day or two on 128p Breakthrough. Falck and Angel are easy too. Just spam a single button and you will eventualy get it done in a few days.

Macay you don't even have to play as him to get Tier 1. You can just fly heli or jet as Macay and it will count kills towards his Tier1.

Rest on the other hand can take weeks to complete.

Crawford's 2000 kills and assists with a minigun seem like a pain.

@Adamonic Thanks for the advice. After playing around with Sundance a little more I see it’s more about the opportunity. Some maps and modes provide them more than others.

@UP_LordPlumber Thanks for the tip regarding Zain. I think there’s not enough information on how the weapon works but once you get the hang of it, I see it’s really good. I’d still say it needs a damage increase though.

I haven’t attempted Crawford but I can only imagine it being a pain. Dozer was the first one I completed and that was a grind. I averaged 25kills per round of conquest. Focusing on built up areas that funnel the enemy.

Like you say some are too easy. It seems like they just pulled numbers out of thin air rather than actually play them.

@Kozaka9628 It seems like person coming up with the numbers didn't know how any gadgets worked. They were given descriptions and nothing else.

"Oh, so a big big minigun, must be easy to get kills. Let's make it 2000". Even though every primary weapon requires 1200 kills

@Kozaka9628 Once you figure out how fast you can ADS on the edge of a door with the XM370, and then shoot through the door, it’s handy. Stranded might be the best map for it, anything it’s corners or crates. You can shoot over a container and it will still damage or kill people on it. It’s a Breakthrough killer. I always fire all 5 rounds, even if I get a kill on the third one. You never know if you’ll get a second or third 😉 If they gave it more damage it would be very OP.

@UP_LordPlumber Agreed, Crawford was a grind, but I got it done and completed T1.

@ATFGunr Agreed, I got many secondary kills after I hit the main target. Unload the entire magazine!

@Kozaka9628 So Sundance is "Kills and Assists with Smart Explosives".
I agree Sundance took me 8 times as long as most other specialists, but as I did that there were no Kill Assists for Vehicles or the EMP grenade (no longer available), Kill assists for the Scatter grenade sometimes didn't worked. And the spread of the 4 scatter grenades was less than 50cm.

A general issue is, if you damage someone with the Scatter grenade, and then shoot them with your assault rifle, it is a plain assault rifle kill, and since you don't assist yourself, your assist doesn't count against Sundance Tier activities.

Zain has pretty straight forward shoot around the corner gadget. Spot enemy, measure distance at a close surface, air burst away. Works well up to 50m. If you your measurement returns 50m it most likely isn't the right distance where you do damage. Direct hits follow BF2042 logic, and do a lot less damage than the explosion would.

In my opinion Rao was the easiest to complete, because he can use the Pokeballs as well.

@Kozaka9628 Given that there is a mix of easy and hard, just set a goal of T1ing them all and reap both sides. Personally I'm only lacking Zain and I'm closing in.
