KMOD = Kill Most Obstructed Damage

Like when you have a team mate target an enemy and you barge in front of him in an attempt to get the KMD, meanwhile taking a salvo of fire in the back whilst communicating in a loud clean voice over voip that your team mate should go back to play COD and freindly fire is in fact ON.

I assume, I really could'nt say from personal experience, if it did happen it was only once and completely unintentional... Posted Image

It's more of a curiosity question. I earned about 6 million c-bills yesterday through normal play, so it's not the money. The question is, since 14/15th (now 16/17ths) of the prizes are pay gated, is that 1 non pay gated prize is also not legal here. Past experience tells me that yes, the entire competition is not open to me.

I'm passing this event due to the fact I can only do the first portion and the rest are locked and I do not want to spend money on an event when there will be another sometime down the line that does not require you to have cash mechs. That and I do not really get the time to play often due to RL family responsibilities. Posted Image

its not getting the kill, its being the biggest damage dealer.
Kill
Most
Damage
Dealt.

A kill assist, while being the one to hit the most will get the award.
Thats why the Dire's and KC's are all running UACs (well, everyone I've faced has been anyway).
Point, Click, EASY MODE ENGAGED!!!

Hard mode (for me) right now is the Jenner IIC(O). Cant make my mind up on:
6 CSRM 4's (wait for an opportunity and get in and play splatcat)
or
6 LRM5's and just rain on peoples parade.

Faster than a CPLT-A1, just as annoying with the chain fire Posted Image

its been fun enough so far either way.

Kinda.

On that jenner I did almost all 20 running the srm 36 configuration w/ an xl 250 or 255...

126 kph is fast enough and just enough ammo to go out with a bang...

Just get behind them fatties and load some junk in their trunk...

This is actually educational. Nothing teaches "don't skimp on rear armor" like a 72dmg alpha from behind.

Works better on clans b/c IS have structure quirks.

Yeah, suggestion to PGI: Don't ever schedule events to end at midnight. At just a glance people are apt to mistake it for either noon or the wrong date.

I myself had been under the impression this event was meant to last to the close of the weekend (i.e. the midnight at the end of Sunday), which would have made intuitive sense even if a bit of change from past weekend events (which seem to have ended more on Mondays or Tuesdays). I didn't have a chance to play these past couple days and was looking forward to snapping up these C-Bills today, except now I realize that for no apparent reason the event ended before the weekend did (the midnight at the beginning of Sunday).

Very weird.. the event page says its over for a while now, but the personal stats challenges page says 8 hours left.

I actually just in the last hour did my 4 jenner IIC wins and got the prize, so it's definitely still on, assuming for 8 more hours.

I totally do not see this mech as a brawler and I think MP XL is a horrible idea but I'm very happy to hear it actually works for you and wish you all the best. I am staying with my Gauss LP JJ build on 5D, loving it. I wouldn't even try playing it with MP and no lower arm actuators, which 5D has.

Now, if there would be a variant with double ppc on right torso and JJ that would be something to try out. PGI plz.


6 x ML, AC20, and JJ's. The BH II is an awesome brawler and rolls damage exceptionally well. You don't need lower arm actuators......

Thanks PGI.

Yeah, I also thought it was already over so I played mechs other than the qualified reward mechs today... and just now I get a C-Bill injection for the 20 KMDD and am like "Huh? Is it actually still going? Well it woulda been nice to know that so I would've chosen different mechs."

Again: Must avoid midnight event timing in the future.

It started on Wednesday instead of Friday which was lame in it's own right.
