Kill Most Damage Dealt. You get scores for a mech that is destroyed by anyone (including you) if you did the most damage to it.

I am now quite convinced that overheating yourself is the secret challenge :)

I just had a nice run of matches in my '63.

I lost every single one, but I had 2 kills in each match and got the Secret Prize and the Urbie accessory pack, and... got to core out the Guzzler with my 3LLs.

I got it, but still don't know how. I didn't overheat in any matches, so it's not that either unless it has multiple things you could do to get it.

Any hints what the secrit reward is?

You have to overheat and get killed while cooling off. You cant do it by overriding and dying from getting too hot.

I have a strong suspicion that killing myself by overheating is what got it for me.

Completed the event all in the urbie, and 3 of the items in one match.. fun!!

Is it overheating/dying or doing the entire event/completions as an urbie? Posted Image

KMDD = Kill Most Damage Dealt = When you do the most damage to an enemy that gets killed (either by you or somebody else).

Well, I played for four hours yesterday, was too tired around midnight and logged off, frustrated that I didn't get it ...

And Lo and Behold, when I log back in this morning, the Secret Reward is in ... I cannot tell you what I did to get it, I have some good matches, some very bad ones, died horribly, did KMDDs, did solo kills, died to falls/overheating/huge alphas in my face, etc ...

I'm still far from knowing what you need to do, so I just played as usual ...

That said, it looks like I won't get the other rewards : no Urbie yet in my stables (so no triple cockpit items), and even if I launch my UAVs, I cannot find one to down ... I die too much too, for the "unload ammo" one.

Frustrating more than fun for me ... the cherry on top of the cake being that you can actually buy that Warhorn for 500 MCs ...

I (My Alt) got the secret achievement, just for entering a match, right after I drop .. the achievement pops up, & hadn't fire a shot yet.

So it's pretty much just a random, you get it now, or later, maybe it is just a matter of pressing the ready button

as for purchasing the urbie, it's not so much the cost . . it's having a mech Bay available to get one

Side note: this happen to be the Alt that got the Banshee on very first bag, must be my lucky Alt Posted Image

Fun short event with some cool rewards.

PGI may somewhere reveal the exact requirement for the secret challenge... maybe.

Plenty of people were most interested in that than the rest of the other details. Even at matches. Everyone is guessing but no one is really sure how they got that fool´s warhorn. Posted Image

Awesome event. The secret challenge is to do something Foolish. It is that simple. For me launching and then shooting down a UAV seems to be the challenge. All the others were easy in 1 match they were achieved.

Not sure what it was, but I think I managed to accomplish all but one of the challenges in one match. The Launch/Kill UAV was easy enough and done in my first match. Had a rough patch but in the Tundra the Lil' Monster shined.

I don't know what the secret is, but I can say is that, aside the requirements for the other challenges ;

1. I did over 400 damage
2. Had multiple kills and multiple assists
3. Won and survived the match
4. Solo capped a resource point.
5. Stayed in Lance Formation with another Urbie!

Personally I feel the secret is #5.
Maybe even combined with the assist count. Maybe its literally about the player in an Urbie assisting another Urbie kill a target without regard to who gets the kill?

I like the idea of the secret challenges, for as long as they remain achievable by dumb luck or smart, yet basic gameplay (ie.sticking with lance mates).

Happy Hunting fellow Urbies!
