so it doesn't say, but if i get 50 victories, do i get all prizes, or are you just cheaping out and giving the one?

You get all 3 prizes.

But another question is: if you disconnect from a match before your team wins, do you still get the win for the challenge?

Could I just join 100 matches, disconnect instantly in every match, and get 50 wins?

Seriously?

Each challenge is separate as you can see in your profile.
(Profile -> Stats->Challenge)

Which would lead one to assume that finishing one(1) challenge would give you the reward for that particular challenge.

Right. If you look at the counters as your wins are recorded, you will see all 3 increase.

The basic answer is of you get 50 wins, you get all 3 prizes.

Technically that's possible, but just pilot a Spider 5V instead. Similar results and at least you'll look like you tried.

Pretty sure you need to be in a match for some amount of time (2 mins maybe?) before the outcome counts for you. I could be wrong, I've never tested it but I think I read somewhere that something like this is in place to prevent rewarding disconnects.

[IraqiWalker]

If I am not mistaken, you lose all rewards if you disconnect from a match after the 2 minute mark (or for longer than 2 minutes, not sure which), so the win doesn't count for you. At least, that's what I think.

If you die and dc AFTER you die it counts. If you dc BEFORE you die and miss the 2 minute window no credit for the match.

[Sandpit]

The only thing I would suggest is if you're going to make it 50 wins (which makes no sense since the others were half that in kills) is extending the event time.

50 wins and having tiered rewards is fantastic, but 2 days to get 50 wins can be next to impossible for more casual players.

The way it has worked in the past (unless they've changed something) is that you only get rewarded for what you did up to the point of disco. So if you shoot 8 mechs but disco after only 4 have been killed, you would only get 4 assists, but if you stay you get your 8 assists (assuming all 8 mechs you shot were killed)

[terrycloth]

50 wins is a lot easier than 25 kills. If you're bad (like me).

50 wins will be around 100 Matches for most people...it should have been 10..20 then 30 wins for the 6.5 mill cbills

At 8 mins average a game that 800 mins of gaming

I don't understand why premium rewards were first and cbills was highest reward. Most will stop caring after the premium time

[Green Mamba]

Yeah I really just want the Mech Bay ,I have plenty of Cbills

OTOH if the premium time can't be banked then you may as well grind up the remaining wins while taking advantage of your premium time, right?

I mean, the time periods don't perfectly overlap, but if you care about the premium time enough to grind for it, why not?

[Sandpit]

I'd have made the cbills the 10
mech bay 20
premium 30-40

yea, didn't think about that aspect of it. I'd still have made it the top reward

Me too, but then I think we'd be complaining about making the reward so unreachable for those who may need it most .
