from what I know:


Note that you must not bee too far from your target or it won't count as an engagement.

Doable when harrasing in 2xSRM-6 light for example - hit the target and then switch on "Evasive Maneuvers" while running away.

Can we please agree on never using this reward for events ever again?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Never had any particular problems with it, so disagree.

It never works that way, sadly. Until last month, anyone rocking an Nvidia Dawn cockpit item was identified as an old school player. One event later, everybody has one.

What mechs are you using? I've found that they (hit and run) come naturally if I shoot enough. If you have a light mech equipped with stealth armour, maps like Viridian Bog and Solaris City are handy for hit and run attacks. I got several in a Pirate's Bane yesterday on Solaris City.

Of course, the opfor has a say and if you are up against good and/or situationally aware players, it'll be harder.

Good hunting,

In my case i just played for the trial rewards and for the main mech, and everything else happened "automatically".

So no need to stress about the other tasks.

Tried that, didn´t work. But will try again.

I have never had big problems with hit and run. In the current event, I did not even set myself the task of making them. I just played on 2xUAC-10 Huntsman and 2xUAC-10 + 5 ERSML Ebon Jaguar. I just played, and these achievements came true on their own.
When (in previous events) I set myself the task of earning the achievement "hit and run" I did it on 2xLPL + 4xERML Timber Wolf and Hellbringer. In one fight, I managed to make up to five such achievements.
In any case, there is still more than enough time to complete. I am sure you will be able to complete this task.

Of course i did. I guess it´s just not my playstile.
I assume the factor "engange" makes the difference. And it would be really nice if someone from PGI could clearify how this and other rewards really work.
Using a PPC SHC at maximum range, shooting once and hiding, didn´t work.
Using a Gauss SHC at 200m did work.

Before i forget. Thanks for the event and the mech.

It was a pretty natural to me, to hide during brawl, since my skill there is pretty much... awful.

Still:



Wanted to do yesterday, but... would you do to continue when your ping was 386ms non-stop everywhere?

I also need to consider using the ultimate weapon for finishing 5150-dmg ballistic challenge in an appropiate fashion.

The trial mech challenges were actually fun this time. Good work on the new trial builds!

[LasWaffentrager]

[justcallme A S H]

Log in / out. That will fix it, sometimes it takes a while.

You'd best usethe ingame event browser. Just click on the little "E"-shaped icon on the lower bar of your mechbay screen.

Please never force us to run trial mechs again. It's just atrocious.

I find it a fun side activity once in a while and it's sharpening my skills.
Also, you're not forced to do the challenge. It's just a few MC and a less than fancy camo.
