I ran mine with a Standard 350, 6 x ML, an AC/20 and an MRM/20, plus an AMS. Got the K/KMDDs out of the way pretty quickly with that build.

Wait, might have been a 355, now that I think about it.

6 mpl, lfe350, lb10, MRM40, AMS.

That would be a great build too. Really no reason not to LFE in the Boar's Head, since it can't zombie anyway.

"Earn 1 Counter ECM Locked Damage Rewards"
UGH HARD for some reason all of the lock weapons seems to be in enemy team all the time...
"Get 1 First Capture" also no conquest so far out of 10-20 games
everything else done ~7 games ago

I can't, for the life of me, seem to get that "Counter ECM Locked Damage" one done either!

Currently running a PHX-1B with ECM and an ERPPC, plus a UAV.

I am switching my ECM to "Counter" right when I launch, I'm actively seeking, and targeting ECM mechs, hitting them with PPCs and launching my UAV to keep them locked, and watching as teammates pour fire into them...and still...nothing.

How the hell does this thing even work?

I feel like I'm taking "Crazy Pills".

They need to be hit with a weapon that requires lock-on, while you are countering their ECM

So just load up some SSRMs on a Medium with ECM and do it in one shot

You can counter ecm with an active probe too. I used a streak boat summoner with an ap and got the achievement twice in the same game.

It was totally the missile thing! Thanks! Threw some Streaks and HMLs on an Arctic Wolf and got it against the very first ECM mech I found. Thanks!

Eh... What are you talking about? If you mean that missing space between 'Any' and 'Mode', that's rather forgivable. No reason to rag on Matt Newman about that.

EDIT (literally three minutes later) :: If you really want to rag, you could instead talk about how the 'Mad Dog' being added to the Sale wasn't reflected on the Website News.

PGI please, stop. Events are the bane of the game, players dont give a rats *** about team play as it is and events make it worse.

If you're so desperate for sales, make your mech packs cheaper and more rewarding.

I know I'm talking to a ****ing wall here, but it needs to be said.

[Lungfish601]

Thanks for the event, a couple of extra mil CB for playing, plus got a total of 800MC from the supply caches.
Can't seen to make the ecm locked damage, but ho hum, rest was easy enough. Had some great team games, and more people seem to be on, and having a laugh.

Thanks again PGI.

The headshot part is the last thing I need. What's everyone using to score it? XD




Grab an ECM mech, active Counter, and lock onto an enemy ECM mech. If someone shoots it while you lock it, you get the achievement.

Nope you get nothing! I tried!

Streaks didnt work for me so as UAVs ECM on counter... I get the intension that this achievment is broken or something. That grinds me a bit

You are right. Many people (me included) have been asking to make longer breaks between events for about a year at this point, but PGI doesn't seem to care. This was even put up on one of the First Circuit Podcasts about a month ago.

Counter ECM locked damage is strange... Tried it for ours using BAP, disrupt, UAVs, TAG,NARC - nothing worked. Went for the headshot with my Stormcrow,which only has aLight Active Probe - got it and i dont know why...

[Xaat Xuun]

don't know what I'm doing wrong
I just can't get Counter ECM Locked Damage,
do they have to have counter on ?, I thought it was me that needed counter

I'm getting damage and kills with counter on, but it's not counting, so guess I be doing something wrong,

unleeeeess, it has to be with missiles only, then YEAH, I am doing it wrong, I'll try missiles

[ImperialKnight]

Finally did the Counter ECM Locked with NARC and SSRMs

it's not just missiles, but systems that require lock-ons, like SSRMs, LRMs, or ATMs

thanks I'll try with the NARC, I have used counter and everything but ATM's, I'm on Counter, their ECM is X, I lock, I fire, I did damage, I should be done,
so all that's left is NARC, and ATM's and I will have used everything with ECM Counter


frustrating

ETA: I had also used UAV

remember to spam the "Target Spotted" prompt to highlight to the team the mech you have NARC-ed, and keep it locked on your system. it'll help to raise your chances. Took me 3 games with NARC to get the award
