I got the counter ecm completed without piloting a mech with ecm, i think uav's that spot targets with ecm counts.

[The Real Don]

Cranked out all 6 challenges just 2.5 hours after the start, I want more Urbie madness to be rewarded in.

But seriously love the event and would pay to get that Urbie IIC to add to my collection, only missing the special urbie from the pack but not worth dropping the $40 for just the one.

Only thing you could have done to make this event perfect is the announcement of the IIC as well as more Urbie focused challenges with another Urbie being added as a reward for completing all of them.

Thanks for the new Urbie Bunny standing cockpit item. It's super sweet. And thanks for another fast and easy money event. Oh yeah! Back to farming FP loyalist rewards.

[Chilly]

Thanks very much PGI! Fun event, even after a few brews... you guys have been bringin' us great stuff for years, much appreciated!!

[Raptoroz]

The "Use Counter ECM once successfully" is completely bugged, like the kill counter in the last event.
Not working at all, no matter how many enemy ECM's i counter

[pewpewgunther]

Having the same issue, countered 5 or 6 at this point and even got desperate enough to dive a team with a couple ecm mechs to try and get it. Still no dice.

[Warschnuffel]

Nice event, Schnuffel happy, Urbie good boy.

[MrKvola]

Counter ECM worked for me without issues and I got the reward.

Correct. I think other forms of ECM counters apply too, like tag, PPC shots or probe. I think I got mine by use of UAVs. I played about 5-8 games, I have 35 UAV detections and 5 counter ECM. Never used ECM in counter mode with the about 3 games I played with Shadowcat, although it has light probe.

The Urby Bunny standing item is hilarious!

Yeah absolutely. Did you guys notice it has kill animation too, like few other standing items. I got only one stating it has kill animation, the Atlas head, but few others have it too.

[Scipion]

Just use more UAV's for counter ecm

Eggs-traordinary Work!

Hey Matt / PGI.


FYI the criteria for these two are inversed....
Protected Light should be Catapult reward
Protected Med should be Mad Cat reward.

Just out of interest, how did you come to that conclusion?

Hi all... Just stopping by to let everyone know I enjoyed this Event. 10/10 for Rating, due to it being simple and easy-to-complete, without the whole 'having to stress to the max' thing. If I do come to find that my extra idea for a Challenge gets added, I would probably give an even higher, bank-breaking score on this Event.

The only thing I didn't enjoy during the course of my part in this Event? The massive lack of Communication and Teamwork amongst the teams which the MatchMaker put me with. Seriously, this is supposed to be a "Thinking Man's Shooter", so where the hell are people's brains anymore? It's like the world around me didn't care if it made me rage.

Anywho, I'm off to recharge my proverbial 'Physical & Mental Batteries'... I'll see you all at the Next Event, whenever that's going to be. Let's hope the UrbanMech-IIC gets announced as a serious item, and becomes more than just a pretty idea in a Forum Thread that some find desirable to have...

@ Matt Newman, Tina Benoit, and the rest of PGI's Event Handlers ---

I just thought of one more Challenge that could be added. How about...

"Egg-Savior" = Accumulate (some small number, perhaps 5 to 10) "Savior Kill" by keeping Friendly Mechs alive through helping kill Enemy Mechs

...to which I would suggest some kind of Hanging Cockpit Item, plus some (C-Bills) and/or (MC) as a Reward for doing that one. Obviously I have to leave the details up to you, but I thought it might improve the Event a little bit and Egg people into playing more.

~D. V. "Trying to help with making the Event more full of Egg-ticement to play..." Devnull

looks like there is a problem. I got credit for the counter ECM and got an urbanmech stein instead of an urbybunny

Note: Activate Counter ECM on an enemy 'Mech with ECM on to cancel their ECM cloaking device.
Reward: 1,000,000 C-Bills & Urbie Bunny Standing Cockpit Item

It also works to shoot the enemy mech with a PPC to achieve this ..

erm. check the events page itself and compare. or compare with your in game events UI?

I do not believe the BAP counter triggers the Counter ECM action.

Luscious Dan, on 29 March 2018 - 10:15 AM, said:

The description specifically says switch your ECM to "counter" mode, so I don't think the other methods will count here. Just equip ECM and press J when your radar goes staticky and you should get it, simple as that.

I just complete the challenge with BAP.

I'm having fun but is anybody else not getting any hit and runs?

They are a tad harder to hit than the rest of the goals - I'm not sure how the timer that drives them is operated. Apparently it is dynamic and takes a number of variables into account (weight classes, distance, perhaps more). Also don't forget that you should not be taking more than 15 points of damage, as that cancels the action.

Got them done in a few matches though. Thought an ERLL 'mech would be easy to score them in at first, but it turned out I was making better progress with brawling setups. Just play as you would otherwise and you'll rack them up eventually, I believe I got around 1-2 per match on average.
