The UAV destruction challenge isn't hard, just bring some PPCs - they go down in 1 shot. I was running a 2 PPC Panther this evening and finished it within a few hours. Knocked down 5 in one game. Probably averaging 3 UAV kills per match.

Also, if you see an enemy light dive your team a the start, they probably launched a UAV (for the other UAV challenge) so look up.

Finding it weirdly hard to get the UAV Detection one as almost every time I try to launch I get the unable sound.... not going to waste them on the single mechs I keep hunting out.

Edit: Then I get 5 the next match. *facepalm*
Edit 2: Then 6 the match after...

@Aramuside: My series went something like: 2, 7, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 3, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 10... Really silly to struggle to get to 19 and then get 10 in one match... Duh! :/ And despite trying, I have not gotten a single kill on an enemy UAV as of yet. Sure, there have been enemy UAVs about, but they have all gone to others.

My take on this UAV thing is that since we should be using UAVs any way shooting them should be natural. Aside from the completionist trait in us this event is not that critical

You can kill UAV easyer If you equip any energy weapon to the arm of your mech.

I'm more than halfway there on the UAV shootdown challenge. Been only at it for a few hours. It can be done.

Maybe we can put up our own and shoot our own down and still get the achievement? If only...

streaks are good for killing uavs.

Don't think I've ever successfully killed a UAV with streaks...

Hi, Im really sorry but could you prehaps share the minievent objectives your struggling to complete in 2-3 hours each day ? Ill try to help you understand how to get them done. I dont think shooting down 30 uav's is going to be easy when you have 12 other people also trying to do it and usually only 3-4 uav's are launched each game.

Because if your not willing to put 3 hours into it each day (its taking me maybe 1 hour each day per account (doing them all twice), please dont complain, it means their are more important things in your life than this game that you prioritise, the event is not supposed to be free stuff handed to you like christmas presents, it is supposed to be a reward for investing your time in the game to keep queue times down when a lot of other people are putting real life 1st. Time is Money, you have to invest one or the other, you decide.

Stop being jealous of what other people are getting / have, or you will get very depressed and instead work out what is most valuable to you, nothing in life is free.



TukTukTuk IS to Clan win - loss rate is 44% - 56% its pretty balanced, cant blame the factions sorry.

Man that is just brilliantly stupid. For one, it's not jealousy, I have a great job, an awesome Wife and kids. My time is limited, because, yeah, I have for better priorities... but guess what, I have money to spend, and if PGI is too thick to think about those that are of the working Class then they're going to piss them off with their tight schedule of events. No, it doesn't take long for some of these tasks, but If I only play a couple times a day and I miss tasks that I'm interested in, purely because I have better things to do on given days, then I'm far less inclined to invest in their game. It's not rocket science, just fact.
Those of you jobless and off for school with nothing better to do... are you really going to have much money to spend on this game? I'm going to say, not as likely... but hey, PGI has proven to sink their own ship many times over so maybe their just stupid. If they want to fail, other games will come in it's place.

[Commander A9]

ER Large Lasers worked great for me for shooting down UAVs.

It's like, 'duck-hunt' mode...turn on thermals, find a spot with open-air sectors, look in general direction of enemy...and pull the trigger!

Bagged 5 in one match, 4 in the next, 4 in the match right after that, and still won with a high score and kills.

[CH4CH]

I missed week1 event, It's nothing interest me in the first half of week2. If it possible, I want to complete the week1 trials.

The problem with this rant is I have a very good job, drop a lot into the game ... and still have all the event bits to date.

PS: You really need to do some diversity and anger management training btw.

[James Argent]

None of the rewards in this event are exclusive. If your time is too limited but your funds aren't, you can replace one with the other to get everything offered. But rewarding players who have the time to play the game enough to earn them without doing so is also perfectly acceptable.

People who can pay more and people who can play more are both desirable demographics. A fully funded game with hardly anyone to play against wouldn't be much of a game, and the funding would go elsewhere.

thanks for the war-horns. Clan Hex and Ram's Horn have amazing sound. Bouuuuuuuu.

And I would like to thank for right tasks. I started to get a feel for a game trying to achieve 'Lance In Formation' some months ago (literary running after my teammates who tend to play "cows in the field" game). The "side effect" (I started to kill enemies) was very nice. Hopefully more players will follow. Keep it up!.

Its like people are realizing that some of the challenges actually are like mini-training exercises to become better players!

[Apollo777]

I guess most of people are done with UAV Deployment challenge, in 6 matches i saw just 2 or 3 UAVs.

[Commander A9]

Glad I got mine done then! XD

[Curley GumboKiller Bradley]

Been playing for 2 days and the only UAVs I have seen to shoot down are the ones I launch.

Well, I am done with that. Not launching anymore until I shoot at least 5 UAVs that are not mine.

Then you haven't been trying. I kill them all the time with them.

Fair enough, I think I only tried once, a while back. they just swirled around the uav and never actually hit it (a la streaks fired at a mech that dies before they reach it).

Fact is, most of the time, I'd save the streaks for a light...
