I am so overly annoyed by this challenge! I am rarely getting Incursion game mode and it is extremely difficult to kill a mech with a fuel cell. It is truly making this challenge more annoying than fun.

[X-Plasma]

I've gone as far as bringing ECM lights and mediums so I can ambush a little bugger at the fuel cell sites. I have gotten close to killing them but they either run off, kill me, or their team comes to kill me. It's ridiculous.

Sounds like a job for a Streak Crow

Fast, Light-Gimping potential, BAP+TAG means it will have 400M range for its Streaks




That, or find a spot with a 50 PP FLD mech overwatching the side of a capture node.

That's exactly what I did. Brought the laservomit ebon jag and smoked a cicada the second he got the cell.

The problem is two fold, the number of predators is increasing at the same time available prey is decreasing.

Only the clueless or tardy are getting fuel cells at this point since it neither pays well nor is terribly helpful for a gamemode objective win.

I just quit playing until the event is over. Idiot game play, and its just not any fun when half your team afks or makes suicide runs.

The most hilarious part is that it punishes you for playing well.

If you play too well, the enemy doesn't even get the chance to pick the batteries up.
How do you kill the cell-carrier, if during the ENTIRE match not a single enemy mech actually manages to pick it up.

I've literally given up on that nonsense.
I'd suggest you do the same.
The rewards aren't worth the hassle.

Was one of the easiest to get. Used an Oxide and blasted a locust with one shot from behind.

Got my kill in a MAD-IIC, but I don't even know when I got it. Carriers sometimes make multiple runs, so one can lay an ambush if you missed the guy the first time.

[Marquis De Lafayette]

Built a custom Streak Jenner IIC purely for killing the delivery-mech. Fast enough (139 mph) to get to the fuel cell generator on the initial rush and fast enough so that the "prey" can't get away easy. Got my kill on a fuel-cell carrying raven about 1 min into a match on HPG. I did die 10 seconds after killing him as he ran back into the midst of his team and I got focused hard. Death came quickly...but challenge completed.

That's one way.

I myself ordered a new steering wheel instead in anticipation of the event and received it Friday night just in time.

Took me forever. Finally waited near node with my streak shadow cat until seismic sensor popped up and then had glorious battle between him and some heavy. Killed the mist lynx even though they both had ECM, every once and a while I could get a volley in. Another tip, if you do NOT target the enemy the rest of your team wont know and bum rush and deliver killing blow before you do. Had that happen once

[Tomo Sukesada]

Am levelling my Vipers now and will be picking up fuel cells. I challenge any of you to come get me and kill me. I promise to stand and fight to the death instead of running to my base or friends for cover. BRING IT!

[GrimRiver]

Just got mine an hour ago, was a total SOB.

Got it out of pure luck when my team cut a light+cell off from his base so he tried to fight and I got a lucky hit on his opened ST with my LB20X+LPL+3xMGs.

Same for me, but set in ambush for the ACH whom was trying to get one of our CATs by the power pill; he dropped down right onto the pill to shot the CAT and got an 82 point alpha into is back the moment that battery Icon appeared.

Killed Roughneck carrying one

[Catra Lanis]

The position and the short pickup time means that whoever gets there first gets away unless he does something stupid and try to slug it out. It's almost impossible to down a Locust that has a headstart. If he's only interested in getting away you need to be a good shot or lucky.

I got mine with a Streak Cat -- cause it's fast with that masc, and has JJ.

I also literally waited at the fuel depository, refrained from getting the fuel, and then only attacked when an enemy light got the fuel.
