Sadly probably counted as an aggression. But Was trying to hunt cores w/ Tmac for him. GOing out testing extract on dam daytime. Still ended up w/ hostiles. While he was down below, I went up to the balcony but tucked in next to the building. Some chinaman hat faggot runs up and starts hucking nades at Tmac, he took a clipazine to the back of the head while I declared rats dont get to go home. Arpegio/Eltoro 4's. Then had to smoke my leap into the elevator as his friend tried to snipe from the window.

It was actually a pretty beautiful setup. Wed just gotten to the extract and Sludig tucked away while I set off the extract JUST IN CASE.

Dude immediately start chucking nades while his buddy on the roof tried to snipe. Two points to Sludig.

Lol, easily with probably 100 hrs in stella montis.. I finally ran into someone doing the extract camp glitch at seed vault. tldr you crawl up and hide on the other side of the fan, and it won't extract you. I'm 4/4 or 5/5 beating extract campers on stella montis, other maps not so successful lol.

my friends and i were moving toward the seed vault extract.. dodged a bunch of shredders and taking a ton of random chip, sprinting the map on 5 minutes left.. Get near the extract, I heard the ending beeps of a shield and asking my friend if that was him.. he took a second to respond and said I did but the timing was way off.. I cleared the usual rat spots next to the extract button.. as I press the button, I look up; three fucking rats just sitting there in the vents. I started by trying to shoot because of how open it was to seeing them, but it is just an invisible wall. Proceeded to just start shoulder peaking while lobbing a variety of nades.. eventually just started shoulder peaking w/ ferro shots.. Ended up wiping them but only thirsting 2 before the 3 third could get the button and none of us securing their loot. iirc, one of the guys ask to report on the 0:00 map extract time said something like 35s remaining before it auto extracts.. so it would have been too hard to loot anyways.

Best weapon we were hit w/ were like a venator 3 and renegade 4, with stitcher 3/4 and ferro 3/4 sprinkled in there. We were free kit gooped up on a 4 squad shoot out that lasted literally 20 minutes in the main lobby.

Best I got without doing a stun lock Strat was about 2 hits away from 3 stars. Lured it to the buried city apts. I think getting the snow balls is actually the most annoying part

Someone said one of the buildings in spaceport or blue gate I forget which. I opted for big tower on Blue gate, theyll path below and you can chuck a few, I was going to try and maybe zap them. But it was already a storm and I got lucky enough it got zapped. I fell trying to get the angle, barely survived fall. Figured I was dead as it got up, but somehow it actually broke enough engines it was stuck. So easy finish. I think though this trial by far is a 2-3 man affair so someone can be dedicated snowball while one shock grenades. (Wonder if a mine would trigger from balcony of that tower.

I did also bring in my snowballs from a snow raid so I'm not fighting snow effects and visibility as the other strat was shoot out 2 engines to crash it.

Where'd you find your snowballs and how many did you collect?

I just ran around Dam for like 20 min and found 5, lulz. Read somewhere that water towers was a good spot and didn't see a pile until I was extracting.

You can just keep gathering snowballs from the same pile after a few seconds delay. The easy strat seems to be to shoot off 2 thrusters to drop it to the ground then you can just freely pelt away at it.

Yeah I think he's just caught up in the hype of it and the very big player base, but I can see him in a week or two burning out.

iuno if it's a lot, but shoot two propellers off(L/R, not sure if F/B) of the rocketeer at the nearest hatch extract.. find the closest snowball pile and just pickup and throw..waited for another one to spawn and dragged it to the northwestern corner extract of spaceport* via supressed weapon. iirc special events, its an 8min respawn. it's comically easy, I think. Unless 20k isn't relaly that large of a number, was just funny doing it.

All the arcs (besides queens/matriarchs) eventually respawn, even big ones like bastions or rocketeers. The big arc ones just take around 9-10 minutes to repop
