    Arena tip: Suicide when you have the gold score
    If you like me just want to get gold on all of them to do the quest and whatnot, you get all of that even if you suicide, as long as you have enough points. I had gold in 1-4 early in round 2 and gold in number 5 a bit into round 3, so I just blew myself up and finished the arenas in much less time than it takes to finish all rounds.

    Thanks for the tip... but does your Gold go away if you continue with the rounds until the end if you start doing poorly?

    I mean if you aren't enjoying what you are playing, then why play at all? What you are suggesting just sounds like the stupid thing people were doing going into co-op for contract or ??? and not playing through and harming other peoples play experience in the process.

    The Arena are single player for some reason so at least you wont harm anybody else experience by skipping out with a suicide, but it still sounds strange to me.

    I can't even get silver in the dark matter arena. Keeps lagging horribly between kills and I'm lucky to get my multiplier above 2! Worked fine in the other arenas, but the last one seems significantly void of baddies to shoot between lag spikes.

    How do you see your score? I did the first arena last night and never saw mine on screen. Also the points/multiplier stopped showing up at all once the Hellbug wave started.

    Fun Fact: This is also a good tip for real life.

    I'm with you. I can't do the first arena to save my life. Best I can do is just barely above bronze. How are people getting gold on this?

    Like I said back in the alpha, the arenas are very badly done. They provide no challenge for experienced players, yet prove too much for beginners. I honestly see no point at all in playing past round 1.25 when i reach gold because it's just a grind with no purpose.

    It's essentially a dance. You need to keep an internal rhythm of always killing something before it resets. There are generally speaking a lot of small annoying enemies running around that are great for this. Try to mentally map out enemies as you go, so that you aim to take down a that volge or mutant minigunner after you've raised your multiplier enough. Don't try to go for high HP enemies if you haven't just killed something, or you will lose the multiplier doing so.

    Weapon choice... I don't have a preferred one, really, as I just don't need to even try to finish the arenas in the first couple of rounds. As a general rule though, don't go for the biggest ammo wasters, and range is very nice to have. VBI ARs are great for arenas because they work for many different situations. VOT Pulsers and VBI SMGs are better choices than Tachmag Pulsers due to ammo. Clustershot shotguns are decent in rounds with tons of annoying little enemies, like the scrappers.

    I am completely confused by this magic arena you guys are talking about. When I go into the place called the Arena it tells me I am disconnected from the server.

    I thought I was so bad it didn't even want me to compete.
