Weekly Event Guide Series - Turf Takeover!

Boss Turf Takeover

Boss Turf Takeover is a Weekly Event in the Multiplayer Terminal that is a variant of Turf Takeover. It works in exactly the same way as regular Turf Takeover, except that when 1/3 of an objective is captured or a payload is pushed, except for the final objective, a boss chest will appear fairly close to the current objective on the map. The chest will be locked for 20 seconds, but once that amount of time has passed, the chest can be opened. If the chest gets opened successfully, and the objective has not been fully captured yet or the payload has not been fully pushed, a random boss appears. It will be a Plant boss if a Plant opens the chest and a Zombie boss if a Zombie opens the chest. While a player is opening the chest, they are not able to move or use their abilities, however they can turn around and use their primary weapons and other effects that do not count as abilities. The boss can really help capture or defend a payload or objective, so try to summon a boss to help your team by opening the chest, or protecting allies while they open it, and try to take out any approaching enemies. The boss chest will always appear at a specific location, so try to remember where the locations of the boss chests are so you can head straight there when it appears.

Weekly Event Tips

This mode is identical to Turf Takeover, except that there is a boss chest that allows you or your enemies to summon a boss to fight for your or their cause. Here are tips that can help you perform better during this event:

• Try hard to get to the boss chest when it appears on the map, try and open it yourself or protect allies that are attempting to. The boss can help contest the objective quite well, and the boss will have a lot of health, giving enemies a harder time taking it out.
• Conversely, try to prevent your enemies from being able to open the boss chest, if they get to summon a boss for their team, your team is going to have a harder time capturing or defending the objective or payload and it will be difficult to take out the boss. Stay near the boss chest and take out any approaching enemies, if possible, especially if you have allies backing you up.
• Remember where the locations of the boss chests are. In each area of each map, for each objective and payload, the boss chest will always appear in the same location, and the chest will be locked for about 20 seconds. Use this time and knowledge to head straight to the boss chest, so you can open it quickly or stop enemies from opening it in the first place.
• If your team is capturing, try to capture at least 1/3 of the objective or payload so that your team has a chance of opening the boss chest. If you manage to do so, the fight to capture the rest of the objective or payload will become a whole lot easier.'
• If your team is defending, try to prevent the capturing team from even being able to capture 1/3 of the objective or payload. However, if they do manage to capture that much, try to get your team to open the boss chest before your chances so they have a harder time capturing the rest of it.

Weekly Challenges

Here are the Weekly Challenges for this event:

1. Open a Boss Chest (10 Rainbow Stars).

2. Vanquish a Boss (20 Rainbow Stars).

3. Win 5 Matches (30 Rainbow Stars).

Weekly Challenge Tips

1. Open a Boss Chest.

• Because you cannot move around or use your abilities while opening the chest, make sure you look around for enemies approaching or shooting at you. Use your primary weapon, if necessary, to return fire at enemies.
• As soon as the boss chest appears around the map, head straight there, but be watchful of enemies that may be coming as well. Set up defenses if possible, and start to open the chest as soon as it is unlocked.
• You can make use of secondary weapons and extra abilities, such as using shields and equipping upgrades that will improve your survivability while you open the chest. Activate abilities that will help you survive before you begin to open the chest as well.

2. Vanquish a Boss.

• Even dealing a relatively low amount of damage to an enemy boss can still give you this challenge, but you need to deal damage to it quite frequently and make sure the boss actually gets vanquished. Focus on an enemy boss when it appears to improve your chances of earning this challenge.
• Use attacks and abilities that deal high damage to vanquish the boss faster and to ensure that you deal enough damage to the boss for it to count towards this challenge. 
• Let the enemies open the boss chest that appears around the map, instead of trying to yourself (in other words, basically ignore it). This may not sound the best idea, but it is the most likely way that you will get the opportunity to vanquish a boss.

3. Win 5 Matches.

• If you would like to, you can attempt to jump into matches that are already in progress, to improve your chances of getting faster wins. This could take some time, so be sure to try hard to improve your chances of your team winning that match.
• Work well with your team to increase your chances of winning. Staying close to the objective or payload can also be really useful in most cases, so try not to be overly split up.
• If you are trying to capture an objective or payload, try to capture it together as a team at the same time. If you are defending, try to have some players on the objective defending it, and it might also be useful to have players giving the capturers a harder time trying to take the objective.
