This week's event (Rando Ops)

@Iron_Guard8  I really like this event as it is something many people play. It's unique as you get to level-up different characters. I've said this before when this event has been out previously, but I find that weekly challenges for this event are very easy to do, even the second one where you can't get vanquished. This weekly event is also very unique because you don't have to find other players to start a match. Many people play Ops anyway, so it's not much different than that. I didn't realise that the game uses your "Character 1" build in Rando Ops, so that's very handy to know.

My tips on the weekly challenges are as follows:

1. Complete a Game of Rando Ops. This does mean you have to win. Place bots and pots to help you and your team out. Assist your team. If you join a match, you may be placed in near the end of that game and if your team wins, than you get this weekly challenge.

2. Complete a Game of Rando Ops without Being Vanquished. This one means you should be careful of your health. You want to make sure that your health isn't dropping. If your health gets low, sprint away or use mobility abilities to do so. Save it for then. Also, placing a Heal Pot or Dr. Heals somewhere at the back can help you heal. I know Dr. Heals doesn't do a whole lot, but it still heals at the end of the day. Hopefully your teammates can provide cover fire at this point and you can also use ranged attacks when you're low so that you can keep helping your team. If you join a match, you may be placed later in the match, so you will get this challenge faster if you succeed. Before you go into a lobby, you could customise you "Character 1" build for each plant and zombie and put healing or speed upgrades on, such as Fearless, Low Life, Vampiric, Health Regeneration, Health Regeneration Delay, Hard Target, Adrenaline Rush and so on, to improve your chances of survival, no matter what character you're playing!

3. Complete 5 Games of Rando Ops. The same as the first challenge, but worth 40 rainbow stars and takes longer, so I'll just copy the first challenge tips I've got into here. This will most obviously take longer though. This does mean you have to win. Place bots and pots to help you and your team out. Assist your team. If you join a match, you may be placed in near the end of that game and if your team wins, than you make progress towards this weekly challenge. 

Overall, I love this weekly event! 😃

EDIT: typo

@ToastedSarnie 
I haven't but my bf has noticed that he spawned in as a particular build soldier (not first in his build slots) when entering the portal as that soldier, so I guess thats kinda the same thing. I will experiment today 😃

@ToastedSarnie 
Yes, thanku for clarifying that 😃😃😃

@asabaida 😜🤪 Did it make sense then?
Came off thinking, "Not sure I worded that very well!" 😂🤣

On a side note. My favorite portal events in GW2 were the rando ones (soil survivors and capture the taco were 2nd) as long as they didn't have the super speed thing! You'd get some weird situations, like spawning as a basic Chomper 4 times in a row, but also get some neat combinations. This is going to be even more fun when new characters are added so we get more randomness!

@Iron_Guard8Yes I like Rando events, though I actually always enjoyed the super-speed ones as a hilarious change to the more serious norm - have had lots of giggles in those modes!

I also liked the basic character events. Obviously we don't have true variants in BFN but no customisations, no upgrades could make for an interesting change - though more for PvP event modes than Ops, I'd say.

Third week in a row with a set of Weekly Challenges which are completely reasonable and free of frustration which allowed for players to just have fun and I really enjoyed it (again).

This is exactly what we need for the game. It's demoralizing and can even make people quit when games keep giving us tasks to do in game that feel like work or just aren't fun. The events in GW2 and here have been hit or miss, but the fun ones keep us coming back and increase engagement and retention while the ones that we don't enjoy have the opposite effect. 

I don't feel that we need to get weekly events done in one night like I did with this one, but the fact that I had no issue playing straight through like that and enjoyed it at the same time, along with the 12v12 fix and livestream next week, the upcoming wizard and later berry brigade has reinvigorated my interest in the game and that's a good thing. I'm looking forward to what's next and not dreading it.
