Was trying to unlock the BIG DADDY title but have no clue how to track assist in assault mechs. Any help would be appreciated

Check out the achievement itself. It should tell you how much have you progressed, both in percent and raw numbers.

(Hangar -> Achievements tab on the top left list)

If you're on steam, you can check some cheevos there, assists included.

The progress is visible under the achievement tab.


I'm often ending up getting the kill or stuck in an engagement with only one or two enemies when piloting assaults or end up leading the push when other assaults are too slow/afraid.
Haven't even got 'giant helper' yet (then again, I'm not much of an assault pilot) - what variant & build would you suggest to make getting assists with an assault easier?

I guess having some large lasers to touch people across the map helps, as does an alpha high enough to strip components for teammates to finish the enemy.

That is where I eventually found it.. I am a LONG way off even though I have been playing this game since open beta.. Thanks for the help, everyone

Shoot at people as an assault. When enemies die by other players killing them, you get assists. You'll get it eventually. Got pretty much all of the assist achievements without paying them any attention so you'll get them in due time.

I mainly run as an assault (BLR 1G) and I am barely over 2300 assist, I think. For the Big Daddy title you have to have 20,000 assist.. This one is going to take a while

I have good luck with my BLR-1G as a laser boat.. 2LPL and 4MPL. I generally stay cool enough to shoot about every enemy if i last that long because I love to brawl

You may be killing too many people.

You get assists by "Failing" to kill them....and letting other people do it.

If you have any missile oriented mechs or some room on your Battlemaster for an LRM launcher, lob a random missile at people you can't see. When they die, you automatically get an assist.

Try to hit all 12 enemies... the ones you don't kill automatically become assists when they die.

Those titles take a lof of playing, even if you play mainly one or two classes.

I used to have lights and mediums that I used alot, now I play Heavies and Assaults. I just broke 1300 or 1500 kill assists in heavies. It takes awhile.

Yea I am not sure anyone has unlocked those titles yet besides maybe people that play games professionally. I have been playing off and on for over 4 years and not even a tenth of the way there..

I get a maximum of 11 and a generally a minimum of 1 per match, with about 10-25 matches a week.
