Here we go again, yes another 3 stage event only a couple of days after the last one, hmm...

Weapon - SarHoc-110, Exclusive Affinity - Ice Veil Bypass (self explanatory) & Precision (+25% to crit hit chance) +25% cash, gold & XP.

Upgrades starts low, upgrade 3 => 4 is 16 parts which is okay, so far.

Upgrade from level 4 to 5 still okayish at 22 parts needed.

Also noticed this time you seem to have a raised viewpoint, it doesn't make thing difficult just a small surprise that this changed after so long, I wonder if that was the 'new content' load from yesterday.

The real 'Sad Point' here is that this event is offering the same as the last event just in an Assault Package with a minor tweak.
They are obviously running out of ideas!.

Ever get that feeling it's a raid on players consumables?!?

Oh, yeah.

These back-to-back 3-stage events are ample evidence. Those of us who picked up Deputies in the Forge are being targeted as well as Supreme Pack hoarders (like me). GL offers a junk weapon and a few 11* and 12* SMs to entice those with a FOMO.

But Spec Ops are about the only use for the SMs, and then not so much with their weak perks. To top it off, ruby missions come up way too seldom...like two or three times a week and I use Spec Ops as a gold dump for suicide missions many times a day.

Bottom line is that we choose to play this game and place an imagined value on the consumables necessary to compete. Either GL or we could end the frustration in a flash.

Well I've decided just to 'use em up', once they're gone so am I, it's blatant money grabbing.

Upgrade for level 5 => 6 is 28 parts and I can see a shortage of scopes already this time.

Already ran 1 x 24 hour deputy and used a few packs just to get through upgrades for info, it's going to be another costly 3 stager.

Finished the stage and completed upgrades and here's what you get, you will no doubt be surprised it's a P.O.S. against a decent base.

Reload is quite quick, and noticeably the spread is tight which is a good point.

As expected for Stage 1.

Hopefully, the Stage 3 weapon is decent. I haven't seen a decent assault weapon for years. Maybe this will change that.

Sorry for not getting anything up recently, moving house.

Anyway completed stage 2 weapon with stage 2 gear set, still doesn't touch the sides of my base (the stats for DPM say it should be better than it is), hopefully stage 3 will really improve it or it's been another wasted event.

In stage 3 I know I will have to use my last deputy and with no more appearances of the forge (even after it got nerfed) this could well be the last.

Have to agree, I don't think I will even attempt to finish stage 3. Just a waste of resources and/or money for what is on offer.

Stage 3 - here goes.

Added to affinity is Incendiary (burns at 250% for 5 seconds) & Symbiosis (at least we get a reset on kill).

Weapon damage when fully upgraded is 438.75m which is interesting, wonder if the DPM will reflects this high value.

SM's are okay, more use in spec ops unless your base needs them.

Upgrade requirements so far with level 5 => 6 requiring an eye watering 73 parts, not going to be a walk in the park again and are the numbers just to con the players again?!

Well, no surprise, but another disappointment, the stats of the weapon say it 'should' be not bad but unfortunately it is!

SM's pretty average too, just more of the same for spec ops.

Thanks for posting the result.

I have one upgrade to go after two Deputies and at least 50 Supreme Packs. Just playing into GL's resource reduction plan.

Cheers Team, I have managed to only get 10 upgrades in the final round as I am not using any extra resources as what is on offer is just not worth the outlay. It is about time GL wakes up and takes a look at what is happening in the game, people are not playing certain areas because of Cheats or they can not get a start because the players are too strong (Arena is the classic example).
Also where is the next next region they keep talking about??
it has been well over 18 months since we went into WW2?
What has happened to the 'Forge?
All we are getting from GL is " ".
Moan over, hope you guys are are all well.
