Simple question about: Mission minefield.

[gaberili 13]

Hello.

Minefield looks silly and fun at the same time (deploy 1 000 mines for 1 container) and get 125 mine as a reward))  joking..

My question is:  can i use drone Saboteur in exchange for mining faster and will Bonus mines Will be considered on a mission?

thanks.

Saboteur drone doesn't reduce the cooldown on mines, and neither does it count the multiple mines towards the mission, despite placing up to 9 mines at once. It's still 1 activation every 40 seconds, as usual.

Miner drone is a bit better, since, if I recall correctly, it reduces cooldown of mine supply by 10 seconds every time you activate another supply.

But if you really want to speed up this mission, use camper drone. At full upgrades it allows you to place one mine every 6 seconds, as long as you have 100% health. Find a nice hidden spot to camp with a long range turret and you will complete the minefield mission in no time. I used it to help me complete the 1111 supplies mission during birthday celebrations and it literally doubled the amount of supplies I managed to spend per battle.

Does mortar alteration count?

Why do you want to waste mines for nothing. Use them, place slightly more than usual.
A container is awesome, you can get up to 1 000 000 crystals, count how many mines that makes!

Don't bother with this mission unless you really really want to complete the super mission (which rewards 7 containers). 

One container is still something. Considering that for most people mines just continually accumulate, throwing out 1000 of them in exchange for a potentially good reward seems like fair trade.

No. Neither do mines placed via Dictator overdrive.

No Maf, this is a bad deal, and one container is not "something" if it is a typical prize such as a useless paint of 3500 crystals. The mission is to place a 1000 mines for the cost of one mine for 50 crystals which gives you a total cost of 50 000 crystals. Even when you rank up, you get less in awards. This is a very costly mission that only benefits the makers of TO, because once the players deplete their stock in such an artificial way, they may want buy more for real money... Unless there is a super prize in that container worth at least 50 K, this is a scam.

It's not the cost of the mine that's the issue - who actually spends crystals on mines?

It's the fact you have to play a LOT of battles to lay 1000 mines - you are paying in TIME (and other supplies to stay in the battles)
