How to get 5K kills in Arkfalls.

[Wtflag]

Ok, a lot of people have decided that since trucks are out, explosions are the way to go to get their 2500 arkfall kill pursuits. I'm not going to start condemning these people. Instead I will reveal how i did it and why i feel it is the best way to do it.

The best way IMO is in fact, dual wielding BMG.

How it works is that you equip two VOT Spanners. You wait for a weak spot to open up, and you zap it until the juice runs dry and you start doing the recharging animation, then immediately switch your weapon and repeat the above.

A few things work in your favor.

1. You hit skitterlings, warriors and sometimes archers/pod shots from all sides of the crystal, not just the one you are facing.

2. Hitting the non-skitterlings do help in managing the mobs and make things a bit easier for everyone.

3. (Important) You don't usually kill skitterlings until they have had time to open up a weak spot.

4. (Important) You continue to deal critical damage to the crystal after the weak spot closes up.

5. (Important) The BMG once it starts charging, will continue to charge if you have preparedness so when you swap it back in again, it will be 100%.

6. You tag every mob. So if the dailies or weeklies happen to be about killing mutated bugs, you will complete it faster than any one else.

7. No ammo issues.

8. You can also heal someone if needed. (You need to heal at least a bit to ensure full 5 keycodes anyway)

9. Couple with the EGO recharge on full reload perk, you can also use decoy or blur much more often. Taking heat from you if you are soloing. And you can also do the combat perks for killing 500 mob distracted by decoy, at the same time.



I have done this dual wield BMG method and soloed the more distant crystals and whack up over 200 kills before people start appearing to join me to take this last crystal. And by the time they come, I have it down to 40%. Even using this with other people around, I have over 40 kills per crystal and weak spots continue to come out because there is enough time for skitterlings to bite before they die.

I hope guide this helps reduce the number of detonator/missile launcher players at arkfalls who don't know any better.

Sorry. Detonators far more fun.

Sorry. Detonators far more fun.

But not as effective or half as cool as a magic space healing gun.

I know this is a bit nitpicking, but don't you only need 2500 major Arkfall kills?

Like the detail and thought behind your post - very much like the space magic gun

Its a beautiful thing when alot of people pull out a BMG, especially when the boss comes out and there loads of electric beams arking into it

[captaincrunch]

maybe he meant 50k kills over all.
