So recently I killed every enemy mech in my locust 1E using 6 small pulse lasers and I got an achievement called "ace" or something. I was wondering, how many other people have done this?

Ace of Spades?

You get that for killing 8 enemy 'Mechs in a match. I've gotten it a few times, though the first time was also in a Locust...back before they got sm0l and before they got quirks of any sort.

Get of my lawn, whipper snapper!

That's Ace of Spades I believe - 8 kills in one match. Personally don't have one.

Steam puts the achievement rate of Ace of Spades at 1.8%.

Yep I also got ace of spades with the locust 1e. That mech just seems to have the luck of getting it although with more smp/spl nerfs and streak boats it gets harder. Getting ace with the locust is worth bragging about as it is fairly hard to get esp at only 20 tons and no ecm unless you use the pirate bane. Spls build seems to work wonders on that mech.

ace of spades is tough man. The closest I've gotten is 6-7 kills in one match. I can never get the last one or two as my team mates beat me to the punch.

Hahahaha, **** man, same here. I got it in a locust before it was tiny and quirked to hell and back.

I'm not even a good light mech pilot! But back in the day, people weren't vomiting out 100 damage alphas every 1-2 seconds....

Got my first Ace waaaaay back in the days of 8v8 when the Cicada was new. Was the Cicada 2A "The Garth" with 6 MLs (and exact armor values that Garth Erlam used on his) on old Frozen City. Probably the most tense game ever since it was me vs 5. Two came at me one at a time and vs the remaining 3 i was running around the buildings trying to pick my shots while my arm was shaking.

How i miss everything but the rig at the time, 20-25 fps even with this giant user config kinda sucked.

And the Locust turned really slow back then. It was work to play, especially with those 90 meter SPL. Yeesh.

I don't know if it's rose-tinted goggles, but I feel like the game required me to be a better pilot back then. Everything today seems so...easy...in comparison.

It is respectable to see someone get them in lights. Only accomplished it on the hbr and mcii

Only ever got it once about two months ago in a Jenner- F. Had 7 kills a bunch of times, but that 8th kill eluded me for almost four years.

Hi there!

I have got that Ace of Spades 3 times in my life time. Once in LURMageddon times on Stalker, once in Splatpult when it was pop and once In KDK-3 by sheer mistake and luck. None these nothling less than brute kill stealing by luck... none of em was actually driven for.. maybe I tried with KDK, but still pure damned luck.

The requirement is flawed. Killing blow is very luck dependant. It should be 8 KMDD instead.

If you killed 12 mechs, wouldn't that be deathstar?

Philanthropist (12 assists) is hard too - always that one enemy who dies before you touch them or time running out with one enemy still alive.

For me the problem is that i kinda have a habit of killing a guy and ending up with 11 assists and a kill Posted Image

Anybody know if you can get ace in FW?

Cause I got 8 kills in FW I don't know how many times.

Or is ace only a QP thing, never quite figured that out.

You cannot. Wouldn't really be fair, would it?
