I win and survive in a locust all the time, with 25-30% armor left.
Easy peasy.

At least those LRM boats actually have to do something now for their score.

[CycKath]

Depends...

Can be done in Solo Queue = EASY PEASY!

Group Queue Only = Why must you hate me so PGI? *sobs*

The prize Victor -- can we sell it & keep the 'mechbay, or is it permanently locked into our inventory like the reward Centurion AH?

[aniviron]

Looks like a fun challenge. The formula looks a bit simple, but I gotta say, it certainly will put the complaining to bed. ;]

Yes you can.

Man I just broke down and bought it last week and mastered it last night. lol figures if I didn't have bad luck I wouldnt have any at all. oh well an XL 350 engine is worth it along with mech bay. money from the sale of the mech can go towards.......

So we have to fullfill four conditions at the same time to get a point.
1 Assist - No Problem
AND 1 Kill - Okay, not so easy anymore, expecting more killsteals and less support than usual
AND Win - not so nice, but 50/50 chance, lengthens the whole thing a lot
AND Survive - Now we have a really hard challenge, often not even half of the winning team survives.
I hope there won't be too many players hiding with ecm/shutdown just to survive after they got their kill or to annoy they other team when they are about to loose.
I will play some matches and see how it goes. But I fear it will take just too many matches for the mech. Theoretically it's possible in 20 matches, but i guess 80-100 is more realistic.

As many have noted, survival is the hard part.

Gonna be a long weekend.

[Fle]

does this challenge affects both solo and group queue?

I think both, but information is lacking

Oh man, I was thinking it was 1 kill OR 1 assist. Both plus survival? Yeesh. Kill steal central for the weekend.

Your point should be negated after a certain amount of Team Damage.

Straightforward and very tough (at least for me).

Love it, exactly what a challenge should be - challenging

Exactly right!

[CdtWeasel]

Why does everyone assume there will be kill stealing? You only need 1 plus you need an assist. So if you just steal kills you lose the point for not having assists.

[CHH Badkarma]

Yay for sneaky ways to collect more data. Least we get paid

[The Trumpet of Gabriel]

Sounds great! *Rev's mech reactor*

[Edmar Fecler]

This looks awesome and easy! ^ 3 ^

Just one question: does it come with the paint job that's displayed in the picture?

[Sky Hawk]

OK,
- since MM try hard to make a 50% W/L-rate... the Wins are not so hard.. 40 matches and done..
- since I use LRMs, Assist are not so hard.. I play for them.. so.. fine..
- since I use LRMs, Kills are.. Ye.. "Sh** happens!".. so.. fine...
- but, to survive? Huh.. not really my playstyle.. and, there are so many Lights out there nowdays... I don't know... I will need a bunch of luck to reach the 20...

BUT, I admit, this challenge looks interesting.. 3 days PT + Bay + Not-my-style-Mech... 2 from 3 is usefull thing.. and.. "free"... so.. OK.. Why not?!


PS: My Bad.. this Victor is not fully useless... it has an XL350.. so.. 3/3.. Ye.. Farmtime!

That is very straightforward. Looking forward to this one.

You can look forward to it. I would have to play 60 hours to get that many points, if not more.

Hope you make it.

[WVAnonymous]

Should require doing it IN a Victor...

No. The camo+colors is a lie (until you pay for it yourself).
