Hallowed Eve - Dubai Eclipse - 3 Stage Event - 02/02/2024

[GWD]

Infravision sure help locate enemies in dark scenery. The Halloween stage was brutal...had to use night vision almost all the time.

Boy, a 7-day Deputy sure racks up the parts. This is what is left after Stage 1 upgrades. Stage 2 should be fine. Might have to dip into stored Supreme Packs for Stage 3 however.

Good position to be in.

If my calculations work out you will need 140 Cores and 170ea of the other 4 parts totaling around 274 chests or 820 Parts to complete the third stage.

Good luck

[GWD]

Ooooh! Those calculations sound good. Hope the payoff with the event rewards is worth it.

Thank you for the effort of figuring this out!

[Decker]

Never cease to amaze corp, nice one.

[GWD]

Wow! The Stage 3 weapon (Nebula Burst) has some really nice attributes. However, if you put those attributes on a BB gun, you'll still have a BB gun.

So, only time will tell if the basic HP (187M) is enough to take out a strong base. That rating puts it way down the list of the assault weapons. Wise use of the attributes will be necessary.

[Decker]

Couldn't agree more, loads of attributes but no power.

As always we'll not know till it's all over...

[GWD]

Well, the full-upgraded weapon (Nebula Burst) was tried with Stardust Reaper and Furmidable armor with Psycho Girl head on my base. Unfortunately, in both cases, the attack never made it past a single gray drone. All the attributes were activated with narry a dent to the main actors beyond the one drone...and the base is not that difficult.

Unless there is some incredible armor combination that I am not aware of, this weapon is a disappointment. It is quite weak and borderline unusable. However, the 14* SMs may have some place.

[Decker]

So another wasted event, bar the 14* SM's for missions I recon.

[GWD]

If GL decides to buff the weapon it should be a factor of x10. They won't give it that much, of course, but with those great attributes and being a complete waste, it should happen after all the resources used chasing it.

Disappointed to say the least. Wish it was an unusual feeling.

[Decker]

I know what you mean, very seldom we get any 'nice' surprises...

[Decker]

Managed to take out the grey drones but that's it, again too much in for too little out!

[Decker]

Almost forgot, parts wastage...

[GWD]

I WIN!!! (Actually, I lose.)

I would have been the same but I only ran a 3 day in the first round and a 1 day in the second not a full 7 day.
