Because of this event, how many have you seen so far?

I've got some through post death cam... but none as blatant as this gem...

like 150 rounds left of uac2s on an uac hunchie...

Apparently can't do math... see that the score is 10-8, assume that other people will win for him. Start firing ammo off. Little did he know, 2 mechs were near death and died almost right away, 1 mech was out of ammo.

He dumped all his ammo before he even get remotely close to finishing the game.

Now game over with 0 ammo and 2 mechs...

Sigh...

Simple way to do the ammo dump is only load half a ton of ammo with an AMS. With all the LRMs flying most QP games... that'll get used up before the end of the match easily.

I got it by simply firing off half ton of MG ammo. Takes only a couple of minutes.

Urbies. Can't pack enough ammo most times, anyhow. Works out well for me. But them backup lasers, very important.

I got this on a match where I legitimately ran out of ammo for my SRM4s in my Assassin and survived the match with somewhere around 700 damage. Couldn't even help finish mopping up at the end of the match because my laser arm got blown off during the fighting.

The event is called "A Fool's Errand".

You mean the one left arm small laser? pew pew pew pew

Was running a Thunderbolt with 7x MPL and an SRM6 with half ton ammo. Round starts I let off a few volleys so wound up with 20 missiles left. Used all them up in first couple of minutes of engagement to make sure I had to do damage with ammo weapons. Then finished up with 540 damage from the MPLs.

Edit: Then went back to 1.5 tons ammo

I did it with Gauss (2 tons ammo) + 4 ERML Hellbringer. The ECM helps keep me alive a bit longer and 20 gauss shots is done in the first third of the game.

sure...if you are bad at building, or playing stock mech matches.

[Mcgral18]

I should probably throw a half ton of MG ammo onto my KDK3...

I mean, I've accidentally done that in the past.

SRM2 with half a ton on an otherwise laser vomit build. Took less then one minute . After that normal match.

But I have to agree with razenWing that prematurely wasting ammo on an ammo-based build is pretty idiotic.

I don't really see the issue.. at the end of the match, if your dead and the team looses.. ahh well.


that said, I did it the easy way.. go my self so wrecked i was a walking stick.. but we won and i lived.. (note did not turn myself into a walking stick on purpose)

I did try to get it a few times at the very end of the match though by random shots fired when i was not going to search for a min for some light.. Or was just in a spot that there was no way for me to do anything so random fire is not a big deal.

[DAYLEET]

MG's, half a ton of ammo, you dump it at the start of a game. You only lose one ton. I did it on my urbie, you can do it on anything else.

[Felicitatem Parco]

"Just take a gun and half a ton. You can waster it before the fight even starts."



THAT IS NOT IN THE SPIRIT OF URBANMECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jay Leon Hart]

Got it in my 2nd game - LB10X, 4x SL - only 2 tons of ammo. Had to waste a lot of rounds when it was 10:7 and I missed out on Ace of Spades again. How glorious would that have been in an Urbie?!

PRAISE BE!

Considered 1/2 of mg ammo on a random mech... then remembered how often my u2ac mechs run out of ammo already... completed it easily without endangering any rocks or walls!

[Lupis Volk]

I have a Gargoyle with only 3 (?) tons of U/AC 20 ammo.

[mouser42]

It's an EVENT to do foolish things, so no worries. Stop being an old yum... something, and just embrace your inner urbie and have a little fun

[Tarogato]

I just took all the ammo off my Viper. Running 5 cSPL + 4 cMG, one half ton of MG ammo depleted by the end of a match without me having to intentionally expend it. gg ez
