yeah those "top tier earners" spam nothing but detonators at spawn points. So when they do that I pull out a shield spanner/protector(the gold orb spanner) to annoy the **** out of them

I used to keep going past 20k back when 20k was still the amount. I thought it was better to do because we could progress farther in the siege and maybe hit Stage 10 if people needed that pursuit.

Now though I find myself starting to level weapons after hitting 40k. With the reduction in scaling hitting Stage 10 isn't challenging anymore. A friend and I almost cleared Stage 10 by ourselves the other day at the Quarry. Though if there are only a few people there, or everyone is Zaggering/Big Booming stuff as it spawns, I'll probably just end up keeping my Siege loadout on or I'll heal.

Agreed! Me and 2 clan mates made it to stage 12 one night last week. Was a hellish battle towards the end, but oh, what a ride it was!

I think this needs to be qualified by the caveat that this practice is only helpful at a well attended Siege as this didn't help anyone at the Afflicted Siege I did earlier today. I was going to stop at 27k but after getting 22k I accidentally got the killshot on a Hulker so I put away my Boomer at 41k and used my BMG. All that happened was all the points got overrun and there were dozens of Afflicted not being killed because, other than one other player, the handful of other players there were clueless about proper weapon selection for an Afflicted Siege. That player continued to rack up kills with a detonator to get score of over 60k, but given how many Afflicted there were it had no negative impact on the other players. They simply failed to achieve a Tier 10 score because of their own performance issues.

I get to a T10 score and then switch to something I need level up/master. If I'm still killing to much when switch to casual mode then the problem is other player sucking.

First of all, here is the basic scores people require for each:

Incursions at Mount Tam: 27k for teir 10.

Volge seiges and incursions: 40k for teir 10.

Afflicted seiges and incursions: 27k for teir 10.

Secondly allow me to ellaborate as to why this guide is needed. If some one gets a teir 10 from a soi (seige or incursion) then there is a good chance (not sure percentage) of getting an OJ weapon. These weapons are tradable. Thus for every person getting an OJ the pool of OJs increases. Now some people dont trade them I appreciate that, but most do. Therefore it is in everyones interests to increase the pool of available OJs.

Now onto the really complicated part.

When person A gets to the Teir 10 reward score, please stop killing enemies, please allow persons B, C - ad infinitum to try for the T10 reward also.

Therefore,

when at afflicted or mutant soi Stop at 27k score,

at Volge soi stop at 40k.

Feel free to run BMGs and heal, pick people up etc., score as much as you want in terms of heal assists, they dont affect other peoples scores, but kill stealing, damage dealing, and general ******gery may make you feel bigger about yourself, but trust me when I say "You Are Harming The OJ POOL". I am always impressed more by a big damage number followed by huge heals assist, than just a high damage number.

Now onto the first part of trolling this will recieve, No I am not a noob, I solo volge seiges and get in excess on 250k per seige. I almost never appear outside of the top 10 at arkfalls, and Im seriously big headed about my ability to kill shtako (and aint afraid to gloat about it). I am also not really that bothered by people accidentally stealing kills, or people stealing them when they dont have the t10 score limit.

However, people who reach the t10 limit, then decide to push that limit UP, are simply stealing OJs from the community in general... this is bad.

Here is what I propose (and do regularly), once you bust up some shtako and reach your t10 before anyone else, post in chat "t10, backing off". Then switch to heáls and boosting peeps around you.

Its not rocket science, its plain old uncommon sence.

i will pay more attention to this not that i know that caps for tier 10 i knew it for the volge and when i reach 40000 around i revive and heal its great to know theres others out there im no noob! lets just say yesterday i raked in 6 oranges all usingg etiquette!!!!! i think thats what the devs are shooting for when i get num 1 spot 2 mil points i get **** i stop at cap n bam oranges purple every time !!!

I didn't know about these tier mechanics. They should show current tier on screen in sieges to let people know when to stop killing. Is it possible to get 7th Legion OJs from Incursion siege? It feels almost impossible to earn kill before someone did but I'll try to use BMG then.

BTW, I once skipped Emergencies and did only Siege part on Mont Tam Incursion and ranked on top. But I got only Siege reward, no 7th Legion reward. I think you have to deal at least one kill or damage on emergencies to get 7th Legion reward.

Anyone has got 7th Legion outfit from Incursion?

If I'm not mistaken, I think the outfits only come from the Supply Boxes. I think I've seen people talk of getting OJ 7th Legion weapons from the Incursion, but I'm a fan of evidence. While I'm not saying they're lying about it, I never take anything as fact until I see it for myself. I do believe it's possible, though.

As for the scorecard, it's jekked up. I was in an Incursion Siege with my son (he's in the next room) and we both placed on the leaderboard on our own screens. However, we weren't listed on each others screens.

Am still trying to find the exact quote from the livestream, but if I'm not mistaken it was said that the 7th legion weapons that drop on the score card can only be green or blue. Purple and oranges can only be on the vendor.

I'll edit this post once I find the relevant quote if I find it.

EDIT : here, and do a find / ctrl-F on "7th legion". Question is named "Can we earn rare 7th Legion rewards from Incursions?"

Thanks for squaring that away, Shoogli! Much appreciated!! ;)
