Here we go again, I think GameLoft has taken to the 3 stage events to clear out peoples stocks of packs/rubies/everything else they can.

Again stage 1 lacklustre weapon, assault with Hunter (+10% damage in PvP) and Precision (+25% crit hits), whoopee, but again that for stage 1, we can only hope it gets VERY much better as the stages go on as the last 3 stage weapon turned out to be a complete lemon even though the stats say it shouldn't be.

Upgrades are quite gentle at first then 4=> 5 (22 parts) & 5 => 6 hit harder (28), still not as bad as the last events, lets hope Gameloft have seen some sense over this and not made this one require ridiculous upgrade parts numbers...

If you haven't noticed yet, they have also cut the time down from 7 days to 6.
I think I will be sitting this one out, just a waste of resources.

I hadn't actually noticed that but it figures as that will accelerate the usage of players stocks.

I did notice that with scope and stability fully upgraded getting a headshot zoomed in to max and careful aiming still is a toss up whether you get a headshot or not due to scatter.

As expected the gun after completing stage 1 and equipping it with my usual PvP gear is poor to say the least, but it is only stage 1, however GameLoft are going to have to buff the hell out of it as the stages progress, or it constitutes daylight robbery...

And so into Stage 2 - 1st mission I emptied a whole mag at one goon, scatter is terrible so first upgrades are to stability!

Affinity - hunter up to +25% in PvP and precision to +50% chance of crit hit.

Upgrades - starts of gentle but soon jumps up.

And upgrade 5 => 6

Running that 7-day Deputy sure paid off for you. Doesn't look like you'll need to put much effort into getting packs for the whole event. Hope the event ends with you getting a great weapon and superior SMs. (Well, we can hope.)

I finished Stage 1 with a few Supreme Packs necessary. But now I can't get in the game to start Stage 2. Others on Discord are having the problem as well. My intent was to start a 24-hour Deputy after upgrading the weapon but....

Thanks for the updates. At least you got in before the servers went down.

As for the parts I'm sure they will be depleted before the end, and I'm still in game, it must be one of the regionals that's down as I'm on the euro server (which seems to be running to soviet time for some strange reason)...

Spoke too soon can't get in now either...

Finished stage 2, gear and gun below.

I was a bit surprised trying out both gear and gun on my own base, it 'seemed' to struggle at first with a grey drone but seemed to do more damage to SM's than previous 3 stage offerings.

Might be interesting to see what stage 3 brings (would be nice if the work was actually worth it).

As expected upgrade requirements are hammering parts for stage 3, still hunter (+50%) & precision (+75%) and the addition of symbiosis which is pretty much a requirement now.

Bit strange, apparently I already OWN Death Metal!!!

I think the logic is that you won the weapon in Stage 1. GL can't take it away because you "own" it.

Then Stage 2 comes along and the weapon in Stage 1 is upgraded to a Stage 2 weapon. The Stage 1 weapon no longer exists but has been converted to another weapon. You own that second weapon because you owned the first one.

Likewise, the Stage 3 weapon is now really just the Stage 1 weapon converted. GL can't take away an earned prize of any sort so you now own the Stage 3 weapon. You could stop playing the Event now if you wanted and the weapon would still be yours to upgrade with regular parts after the event is over. The only reason to keep playing is the SMs.

I think that one of the attributes is that the weapon does +50% more damage to SMs in PVP. That may account for the observation.
