This one should be quite doable. Some are freaking out that there will be too many all stars and corns in TT. I find tons of both in that mode anyway and I don't think it'll be too bad, and butter barrage in particular is one that should be easily avoidable with ones ears open. I appreciate that it's a challenge that can be easily met using flag of power wisely.

I agree with @Iron_Guard8 Based on the large number of All-Stars and Kernal Corns I encountered on Thursday, many obviously representing players just trying to get their minimum before switching back to their favorite character, and seeing that we came within about 5 million of the top goal I think the really low minimum of 50 vanquishes hurt our ability to meet the challenge. Had they set the minimum higher, say at 250, or even as high as 500, then we would have collected far more vanquishes from that larger segment of the community who wanted to qualify for the prizes but weren't interested in doing more than the minimum while keeping that minimum within reach during casual play during the four days which were available.

I'm just sad that the only challenges that are giving us a legendary are ones that there is no chance of achieving.

TIP: You can rack up numbers very fast using corn in flag of power. Bigger Badder Butter can kill an entire set of browncoats, then you can quickly respawn to reset abilities and still have time to get back to the center to vanguish the next set. I have less luck using this method with all star as it is very difficult to get more than a handful at a time with sprint tackle. Maybe that could be remedied with judicious use of tackle dummies to control where the weeds go.

To reach the 20 million total vanquishes with Butter Barrage/Bigger Better Butter and Sprint/Ultra Tackle, we have to average 5 million vanquishes per day, for 4 days. However, after the 1st day, we haven't gotten anywhere near that number. It's unlikely we'll ever reach the red chest for this one.

The first few games of ops I joined on Thursday, the majority of people were playing all stars. Friday was a different story, very few all stars.I'd love to see the system changed so that there's a minimum requirement for each chest. 50 for yellow. 100 for blue and 150 for red, that way people would have the incentive to put in more effort rather than just doing the minimum, instead of relying on those of us who go above and beyond to try and help with the goals.

By just playing various All-Stars in Flag of Power and Graveyard Ops I was able to put together a little over 500 Tackle vanquishes in just a couple of hours.The key to success in this one is for there to be more All Stars in both of those game modes concentrating on taking out large numbers of Weeds. Multiplayer vanquishes for the All Star are going to be far fewer and vanquishes with Butter Barrage rely really heavily on timing to collect larger numbers of vanquishes.

OK I can see how to do it with all star ,but I contend that my BBB method will take noticeably less time. I've got the entire set of zombies down the moment they reach the base - then respawn, repeat. No waiting around for cool down.

Only 4 million right now.

I was hoping it would have gone faster then this.

Let's make this Community Challenge extremely difficult when it's Mother's Day weekend! :D

Honestly whenever I see a super- specific Community Challenge which can only be accomplished by a majority of the Community switching away from what might be their favorite character or game mode or playing in a fashion which they might not normally I really wonder if we'll hit the top prize or not.

On the first day you can count on a lot of people pursuing the Challenge but after that first day people go back to their favorite character, game mode and play style so you can really tell by the times Friday is rolling by how far we'll get towards the top.

Yeah, I only have the patience to repeat flag of power over and over for so long. I'm busy this weekend and have only been able to contribute 3-400.
