Not going to reach copter in time

I play multiple times a day and always visit my neighbors. I've always been able to crush every challenge on every event by days or even weeks. I realize they switched it up this time, but I still play constantly. Am I missing a secret method or something?


If you play often, you should be able to get the copter. I already have it, with no premium assistance.

    I'm 400 away from the copter which is about 60 donuts, was going to spend it on it as I do like the deco but eventually decided against it. The donuts may be necessary in the next phase and I can still technically craft it in te next phase.
    Plus i live in hope that if I can complete the phase early EA let us choose to earn the currency we lack in( as I can't see us earning donuts due to the significant amount given already) which may let me earn the prize myself


    I am basically to the same point as you are now. I am at 6624 now, after having a very good friend and neighbor send me as many gremaliens as she could.

    I think the biggest variable in all of this was actually how many you got from shooting down UFO's. I was really hoping to get some the past few days, but it seems I was always getting candy corn and bronze or silver treat bags. I haven't got 50 ray guns from shooting down a UFO in at least a week. I think that slowed my progress as much as anything.

    I could buy now for 75 donuts. But I am going to wait until the last minute.

    I guess you can craft it later, but it will cost a large amount of broken Easter fences, 200, 500 candy corn, and 300 pumpkins. So that is a pretty steep price. I think buying it in donuts now is cheaper.
  • I needed 440 4 hours ago and I just got it with 4 hours to spare!
    Got 7 of rockets in the 10 bags of trick or trickers and used them on friends and got the 50 ray guns on each one. Then I picked up 54 ray guns from the eggs and the rest came from clicking in my own town and from the bags
  • I got rockets i can't use. Been through my friend list twice, ufos just aren't coming. Nor getting many eggs paying back. Trick or treaters won't finish again in time. Still few hundred away. Missed again. So demoralizing for a freemium.

    Booo.
  • I'm going to be 114 short. I guess having to take a day off from the game did it. I just counted my friends and there are about 45 that won't make it either. A few are really close like me while others I think have just given up.

    I may get 20-25 eggs per day and only 2-3 Ammos. When I shoot the ufos I mostly get bronze bags. I'm a freemium player, so I won't spend money trying to get it. I usually don't have any problem getting everything, even missing a day her and there. It didn't work this time.

    I guess having a real life doesn't mix with this game. Oh well.
  • I have two towns. My town with premiums does not spawn an alien every five minutes. There are times I haven't logged on in 6-8 hours and only have 25 aliens. My town with no premiums definitely gets more aliens, but I've barely get any bags for squishing aliens in the "free town". I have neighbors/friends with over 25k ray guns. I don't know how they do it unless they have a glitch. I have the ray gun and premium kids and only got up to 8100 ray guns. In my free town I am at 4500 ray guns and still need 150 chocolate bars to craft the spooky house.
  • Add me to the got it in the nick of time. 40 minutes left on the clock and 7,100 ray guns. I was obsessed with making sure I kept checking in every hour or two to not miss a single little chance at them. I really don't want that again. Still have no idea why it was so tight this time.
  • 28 Ray guns short with 30 minutes to go :(.

    Anyone feeling nice with a few eggs spare and would like to help me out? I've been playing a few times daily, but not always visiting friends.

    I promise to give you eggs whenever I can on the next stage.

    MY ID is elton_united. Many thanks! :)

    EDIT: Completed with 10 mins to go. Thank you to the person who did it - I will be sure to reward you with eggs for the next phase. Many Thanks! :)
  • 4 minutes left and 15 Ray guns short! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh! Come on aliens!!

    5 donuts is the cost to make up. Oh it hurts spending your hard earned and hoarded donuts!
