So i'm 6 KMDD away from an EXE-C -- but it's to lights.

Aside from hard to hit, they are also hard to come by. And when they do, i am ill equipped because my SSRM boat is dead.

Any tips?

Is this even reasonably reachable?

Scouting with Skillcrow is probably your best bet.

In my experience, they always go as Meds there.

Try it the hard way... No-Brain-No-Skill-Crows and -Dogs sux and against Heavys and Assault they sux even more!

took me 3 days to get the lights for the event

your best chance is scoutng IS lights are more common than clan lights

choose 1planete and stick with it if you see a light after some games try to get it

Scout mode has almost always mediums only, which makes me sad. I pulled it out in FW, the third/fourth wave is where ppl usually field lights so your best bet is a 3xSsrm4, 1xssrm6 Kit Fox as third or fourth mech in your dropdeck.

im seeing oxides, ravens, locusts and commands plus 3 meds in a few scout matches so they are there if u need them. bring any mech you can get in a lot of damage with, or invasion bring streaks last enemy wave

Pull out a SSRM boat on the 3rd or 4th wave on invasion, or use other anti light mechs during that time. Focus on the lights, find one and go for it. I think Huginn on suicide runs got most of mine, you don't need to live, just to get the KMDD in the end.

Either farm scouting (long and tedious because it's hit or miss) or pick a light hunting mech and save it for the end of Invasion.

I still need 8 KMDD against lights, and everyone on scouting runs meds... sigh this is going to be a frustrating one to complete....

Ironically, it's probably easier for IS pilots to get the challenge, because we don't have Streaks, so Clanners use light mechs more often in Scouting, hahaha
(Yes, i do realize we have SSRM-2s, but nobody uses them, because they're garbage)

Agreed. I did both and it was much easier to do as IS.

Stick to Invasion mode because scout mode is mostly mediums.

Remember that most player's dropdecks start out heavy and get lighter toward the end, so you will see more lights in the last two waves than the first two. Make sure you're still in a condition to fight then.

Finally, it's just a matter of prioritizing targets. If you see 3 mechs and one is a light, focus the light. And don't try to KMDD all the lights. Stick to one or two and keep banging away at them every time they are in the open. You'll get it, but it's definitely the hardest one to finish.

[Idealsuspect]

In invasion mode if you see one dire or kodiak this guy might come with a 35 tonns or artic 2-3 waves after ...

[Chuck Jager]

try switching to the planet that is not the one the better groups are fighting over. newer players tend to associate scouting with lights and think they can use them as effectively.

IE look for a beach with more seals

[Dino Might]

So, you're saying there aren't enough lights in the game?



Sorry OP, you're not necessarily the target audience for my snide laughter. It's the Lights OP crowd that have been trying to rid the game of them for so long that I am laughing at wholeheartedly.
