Is the TAG achievement bugged or am I just too dumb to use it? We just pinned down the enemy team down at the base of the saddle on Crimson strait. The enemies were literally not moving. I had my Tag on the target that was getting focused all the time and I got zero tag assists. I played at least 15 games with TAG and I have 13 TAG assist and still no clue how I got them and what the requirements seem to be to get them awarded.


Try to use tag on a mech with streak srms. It counts when you use your own weapons. I did this and got between 5-10 a match.

a small pulse piranha, a streak-crow, an annihilator or dire lb2 build, and a hell bringer with lasers is about all you need to achieve every goal.

For those who aren't fans of ATMs or missiles, tags with RACs work just as well. In fact going forward, ractag is an easy bonus for more xp/cbills for any rac build with 1 energy hardpoint.

The tsp bonus gets added at the end of the event.
There will be a champion event and lootbag event in the 2nd half of oct.

Not sure if we will be able to add the champion camo to select for this event but will check next week.


Ah allright, thank you for clarification! Didnt played for a long time so not sure how some stuff work atm ^^

I realy enjoy the event, good way to check out some different Mechs/Builds and get used to them (again)... also some extra goddies are alway nice to have Posted Image

The light -> check for AFKs seems a good way for the Headshots though, tried dual Gauss + Adv. Zoom... lets just say it didnt worked out that well (for my CT) Posted Image

Marauder IIC Collector's pack for 28$ is a steal. It was really hard to pass on that but I already invested enough money for the loyality rewards. Got too much mechs but I've got that feeling for quite some time now. Go PGI.

In general, yes. But as far as i know disconnected mechs seem to have their hitboxes displaced, the cockpit hitbox then is no longer where it is supposed to be.


Unless I've missed a change - you can't headshot a DC'ed mech.

I've seen dude dealing head damage to the enemy which was DC'ed at the spawn. Not AFK, not unconnected, DC on start.

UPD: That was yesterday.

You can headshot a DC'd mech, just PGi made the hitbox's of a dc'd mech not lineup with the visual hitbox's of a dc'd mech to make it harder to headshot a dc'd mech, if you fire lasers 1 at a time in the general area you can find it. but the best way to get headshots in this event is Solaris Div 1 Annihilator headshot wars.

I found out how to do the tag challenge efficiently guys!

The most i got was 12 tags in 1 match.

1)Get a fast mobile mech with 1 tag

2)Let your friendly LRM boat choose a target they wish to rain lrms on (keep your eyes open for enemy red squares with missile icons on them) and that will be the target you want to focus on tagging.

3)With the tag on the enemy, let the friendly LRM missiles hit the enemy (if the enemy receives 50+ damage from that hit you will get 1 tag point registered)

4)RINSE AND REPEAT!

PRO TIP: Some times you can get multiple tags counted from 1 enemy mech if a friendly lrm boat has direct line of sight of the enemy and has locks attacking, tag the enemy any way and wait for the first volley of lrm to hit the enemy mech and then turn off the tag to register 1 tag completion point. Now re-tag the same target again for the next volley of lrms to hit for another 50+ damage and turn off the tag again to register another tag completion point. Keep repeating this method and depending on how many hits the enemy mech needs to take to die is most likely how many tags completion point you will get for killing that mech during the match.

If this tip helped you, please like this post so other mwo players can see this easier.

I AM DONE WITH THIS EVENT SO GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING!!!


Honestly didn't know the repeat tag bit I was just keeping my tag trained on them....

does the tag event work for lasers?

reason I ask is because I didn't get tags for my ebon jag where I replaced one of the erml.

Done most of the challenges , now onto my IS account . That tag challenge is not so terrible if you have a streak boat .

Great idea about heads shooting DC mechs .

RACs don't count for "Tag Damage" battle bonus afaik. I meant that you needed to train the tag laser on an enemy and get an ally to hit the enemy with a lock-on weapon. If you're training the tag on an enemy, you usually put the tag together with a missile build of your own. Therefore if you're not a fan of missiles and need to tag someone, you're looking at him anyway and that's what you're doing with RACs.

Plus as a weapon platform, RACs + Tag means extra bonuses including other tag-related bonuses like Tag Stealth, since you're face-timing the enemy anyway.

EDIT: https://mwomercs.com...-get-xp-and-cb/ granted it's a 2015 post, but all 3 Tag descriptions don't mention that the weapons have to be lock-on types. TBH I was using Tag with RACs and I do get Tag Damage bonuses, and was using it to get my 50, but I obviously can't say for a fact if my allies were or were not also hitting my tagged enemies with lock-on weapons.
